“After our new branding was announced, Rstor took a fresh look at what customers need from cloud service providers and focused the new Rstor Management Console and support sites on delivering swift resolutions for key tasks and insights that enable enterprise management of multi-cloud services,” says Gio Coglitore, CEO.

In September of 2020, the company launched Transporter, a solution that enables automated data synchronization across infrastructures and serves as a foundation for multi-cloud virtualization strategies. The firm’s Management Console for existing customers has integrated Transporter with Rstor Space – a S3 compliant object storage service that is free from egress charges, data access charges, data movement or API charges.

“This integration makes it much easier — and less expensive — for enterprises to move massive amounts of data to and from data centers, private clouds and multiple public cloud destinations,” says Coglitore.

Streamlined interface includes enhancements that put customers’ most frequent tasks at their fingertips including:

• Creating Rstor Space buckets and objects, uploading and managing massive object stores;

• Executing cost-effective cloud-to-cloud-transfers with Rstor Transporter in a transparent manner, allowing users to track and analyze the movement of data in real-time; and

• Managing security, access, users, as well as governance policies, for exclusive firm’s features like data super-positioning and automatic data replication between buckets.

Self-service wizard available to US customers
In addition, the company unveiled a self-service wizard that makes it possible for organizations to create accounts that can be funded with a credit card. This enables customers to immediately manage users, policies and data administration tasks without the firm’s sales or support personnel. This service is currently being released as a beta to customers in USA.

“The self-service wizard was created in direct response to requests from customers who have found the Rstor platform intuitive enough to manage on their own. It allows organizations to quickly take control of their data in today’s complex cloud environment. That said: our support representatives are only a phone call – or chat session – away from providing immediate assistance to customers interested in executing more sophisticated data management strategies in the cloud,” says Coglitore.

Customer knowledge base and company’s answers
As the company continues to work with its customers and partners to advance the state of data mobility and storage capabilities, new insights emerge on how to better navigate and manage hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructures. To share these learnings, it has created a customer knowledge base and Support Portal from which the wider community of interest can learn about solutions for emerging multi-cloud issues and challenges.

The company has also launched a blog series called Rstor Answers where experts provide answers to the questions that customers are facing today. Its experts will provide answers on a range of technical, business and cloud strategy questions.

“Rstor is continually developing new innovative tools and methodologies that enable enterprises to nimbly move data between on-premises data centers, private-cloud and public-cloud environments,” says Coglitore.
