Choosing the RightData ManagementSolution

Unstructured data is growing exponentially and managing the explosive data growth within tight budgets is a challenge. Analyst project that by 2025, WW data will reach 163 Zettabytes.

Existing data management approaches were not designed to handle this monumental explosion within extremely tight budgets. The time to start planning for an effective data management solution is now.

Komprise is an intelligent analytics-driven data management solution that analyzes data growth and usage across a customer’s current storage, projects the ROI of moving inactive/cold data to secondary storage such as cloud/object, and then moves data based on customer defined policies transparently. Users continue to access the moved data as before and Komprise preserves both file based access as well as object based access for the moved data. Komprise helps customers reduce over 70% of costs while managing data growth.

Data Insights: Deliver insights in under 15 minutes into how data is growing and being used across all your storage. Simplified data management with data-awareness.

Cuts 70%+ of costs: Eliminates the cost, complexity and process change of archiving, replicating across storage targets and delivers instant ROI on every terabyte managed.

Extends existing storage transparently: Transparently manages data across your existing storage and the cloud with no disruption to users or apps.

No changes to users or applications: Users and applications continue to see and access the moved files from their NAS as before with no process change.

No impact to primary I/O path: Sits outside the active data path so access to hot data is unchanged.

The Komprise Difference:Raises the Bar on Simplicity and EfficiencyKomprise raises the bar on simplicity and efficiency by eliminating the cost, complexity, limited scalability, and disruption of prior approaches.

No hardware to deployKomprise does not require dedicated hardware or upfront infrastructure investments. Deploying Komprise is a 15-minute setup of the Observer virtual machine.

No storage agentsKomprise does not require any agents on any of the storage systems. Komprise works seamlessly across NFS, SMB/CIFS, and REST/cloud storage using standard protocols without requiring any proprietary interfaces.

No stubsLegacy data management solutions use stub files – static pointers to re-direct users to the new location of files. But, these static stubs have lots of issues – they can be accidentally deleted leaving the moved files orphaned, they can be corrupted –which also leaves the moved files orphaned, they can become invalid if the moved file gets moved again. Komprise uses a patent-pending dynamic link technique that does not have any of these issues. Users and applications continue to access moved files as they did before without any changes.

No impact on hot data pathKomprise sits outside the active data path so access to hot data remains unchanged. In fact, performance of hot data may improve since Komprise reduces clutter on the primary storage.

No scaling limitsKomprise has a scale-out architecture that seamlessly scales on-demand. As capacity grows, simply add more Observer virtual machines. Komprise http://www.komprise.com

No silosKomprise delivers a unified view of your data across all your storage and enables you to move data across storage based on your requirements.

No costly licensesWith sub-cloud pricing, Komprise is designed to instantly cut 70%+ of costs on every terabyte managed.

No complex configurationsKomprise is simple to deploy and operate – it requires no proprietary interfaces or complex infrastructure setup.

No disruptionKomprise runs seamlessly in the background and does not interfere with your file system activity. Komprise is designed to adaptively back-off and throttle itself back when your file-systems are in active use, so it runs invisibly without any noticeable impact on performance.

No changes to user or application accessKomprise moves data transparently without any changes to user or application access.
