Elastifile Enhanced API For Cloud File Service Scalable File Storage on Google Cloud

Elastifile Ltd. announced enhanced support for API-based access to Elastifile Cloud File Service, its fully-managed, scalable file storage service on Google Cloud.

The enhanced service API allows users to fully automate use of cloud file storage to optimize a range of workflows including: SAP infrastructure, electronic design automation (EDA), HPC processing, and Kubernetes deployments.

As enterprises increasingly integrate cloud resources, the workflows supporting critical business processes must evolve to maximize the capabilities of flexible, cloud-based IaaS. Managing dynamic, interdependent cloud resources often relies on the ability to perform complex tasks quickly, efficiently, and without the need for manual intervention. As a result, API-based automation has emerged as an enabler for high-productivity cloud workflows. With enterprise file storage recognized as a key element of cloud application infrastructure, corresponding API-based storage management capabilities are necessary to deliver the required workflow automation.

Via the company’s enhanced service API, users can programmatically control the deployment, management, and scaling of the firm’s Cloud File Service, thus enabling dynamic alignment of storage capacity and performance to suit the needs of associated applications. Additional features and functionality supported by enhanced API include snapshots, access-control lists (ACLs), and enterprise HA features.

“Cloud-based automation represents a massive opportunity to simplify enterprise IT,” said Adi Sprachman, VP, product management, Elastifile. “With Elastifile’s enhanced API, we’ve delivered complete, programmatic control over scalable, cloud-native file storage, enabling fully-automated, turnkey data management.“

The enhanced API for the company’s Cloud File Service further complements its portfolio of cloud-native data management technologies, including support for automated container orchestration via it’s container storage interface (CSI) driver and automated data tiering to object storage via the firm’s ClearTier.

Elastifile is available on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and bare metal on-premises environments, with Microsoft Azure availability coming soon.
