SOLUTIONS BRIEF
Delivering High-Performance, Scalable, File Services on AWS Elastifile simplifies enterprise storage and data management on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Powered by a dynamically scalable, POSIX-compliant, distributed file system with intelligent object tiering, Elastifile delivers costeffective, high performance access to application data. For the first time, enterprises can now leverage AWS to consolidate, enhance, and accelerate their full range of workflows, whether cloud-only or spanning hybrid infrastructure. LIFT, SHIFT, AND GO! Run existing enterprise apps in AWS with no refactoring, modification, or compromise
SIMPLIFY AND AUTOMATE Cost-effectively deploy/expand/destroy infrastructure in minutes via built-in automation, including object tiering to S3
GAIN WORKFLOW MOBILITY Unlock hybrid/cross-cloud workflows, to enable bursting, future-proof infrastructure, and avoid cloud lock-in
CONSOLIDATE AND ACCELERATE Unify workloads and data infrastructure with linearly scalable performance @1ms latency, minimizing workflow “time to result”
REDUCE CLOUD COSTS Leverage consumption pricing and data tiering to minimize cloud spend
RETAIN ENTERPRISE DATA SERVICES Keep critical services such as snapshots, dedup, compression, HA, and replication
