\"server<\/a>Enterprise storage vendor Avere Systems is to work with Microsoft so that its Virtual FXT Edge filers can be used with Microsoft Azure.<\/p>\n

The hardware maker, which specialises in creating storage devices that caters for hybrid cloud set ups, says the two vendors are collaborating to make it easier and cheaper to get the qualities of the cloud from IT infrastructure that is situated \u2018on premise\u2019.<\/p>\n

The system aims to simplify the task of creating a system for providing computing power, memory and storage on demand for enterprise IT staff who are not specialists in running cloud services. The Avere technology is designed to make data that is held on network attached storage (NAS) more readily accessible to Azure, so that users don\u2019t experience any latency.<\/p>\n

The rationale is that many companies want the liquidity of cloud computing but are not allowed to move their data off the company premises, according to Avere. Its solution was to invent a \u2018virtual NAS\u2019 system that is easy for an enterprise IT department employee to install and manage. Meanwhile the system is sophisticated enough to provide multi-protocol file access (including NFS and SMB) and clusters, making it powerful enough to deliver high availability, scalable performance and capacity.<\/p>\n

As hybrid cloud systems become the de facto standard for enterprises, it\u2019s important that they are easy enough for IT department employees to manage, according to Nicole Herskowitz, Microsoft Azure\u2019s Senior Director of Product Marketing, Microsoft Azure.<\/p>\n

By adapting the system to work smoothly with Azure, enterprise IT department managers can deploy thousands of Azure HPC instances on-demand to crunch data with low latency and no data migration. This means businesses can tap into hyper-converged infrastructure of Azure with ease, without breaking the bank, Avere claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Avere, we\u2019ve been dedicated to shattering the myth that organizations can\u2019t have enterprise NAS performance in the public cloud,\u201d said Rebecca Thompson, VP Marketing of Avere Systems, \u201cwith Microsoft we\u2019re helping enterprises harness the computing power of Microsoft Azure, which is used by 57% of Fortune 500 companies for big data applications.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
