CloudByte Enables Netmagic To Deliver Software-Defined Storage

CloudByte, Inc., a provider of secure, multi-application storage for enterprise-grade clouds, announced that its ElastiStor platform is powering Tiered Secure Storage (NTSS) services from Netmagic Solutions Pvt. Ltd.,  an NTT Communications Company .

Enabled by CloudByte’s ElastiStor technology, NTSS offers metered IO/s for customers’ mission-critical applications and it is live on four different geographical zones within India, delivering file and block level storage services to dozens of customers with mission-critical requirements. ElastiStor is a unified storage solution that provides secure isolation and guaranteed storage performance to each application.

“Capacity, performance and cost are the three important factors while choosing an enterprise storage solution, but it’s rare for enterprises to hit all three of these targets simultaneously. High IO/s storage almost always comes with a heavy cost attached, and if an enterprise has a stringent budget for storage they’re usually forced to compromise on performance or capacity, or both,” said Karan Kirpalani, associate VP products and services, Netmagic. “CloudByte’s ElastiStor storage solution gives us the ability to provide secure high-performance, low-cost storage services to our customers with end-to-end QoS. It’s given us an innovative edge over competitors.“

The CloudByte patent-pending Virtual Storage Machine (VSM) architecture enables Netmagic to define dynamic storage capacity and IO/s requirements for each application. Customers can provision storage instances with the highest available IO/s at the minimum storage slab. NTSS provides enterprises a flexible storage offering at reduced costs when compared to expensive in-house solutions for applications that are capacity or performance intensive. Customers have the flexibility to choose from multiple IO/s slabs starting from 50 IO/s going up to 25,000 IO/s and 50,000 IO/s and storage capacities starting from 100GB.

“CloudByte enables Netmagic to offer Storage-as-a-Service, far more flexible than other available offerings currently in the market and to be in that league, Netmagic needed an innovative technology,” said Felix Xavier, founder and CEO, CloudByte. “In addition, CloudByte goes a step ahead and guarantees performance while achieving this.“
