OSNexus, the leading developer of grid-scale software-defined storage, announced Auto-Tiering to the cloud for its QuantaStor platform in conjunction with Seagate Lyve Cloud.
Seagate Lyve Cloud provides a simple and efficient S3 compatible object storage solution for mass data storage in the cloud. OSNexus QuantaStor integrates with Seagate Lyve Cloud to provide additional functionality including NAS Gateway (NFS & SMB), Backup Policies, and now Auto-Tiering. All QuantaStor cloud integration features require no additional QuantaStor license subscription capacity for data stored on the cloud provider such as Seagate Lyve Cloud. This makes adopting a hybrid cloud strategy that much easier to implement and more cost-effective.

“Our customers are often adopting a hybrid cloud strategy as a way to simplify their backup and recovery processes by eliminating tape,” said Steven Umbehocker, CEO of OSNexus. “With Auto-Tiering customers are able to move files to the cloud automatically based on age while still being able to access them as if they were in the local QuantaStor system.”
QuantaStor NAS Gateway provides access to Seagate Lyve Cloud object storage buckets via file protocols including NFSv3/v4 and SMBv2/v3.

QuantaStor Backup Policies enable one to configure automatic backups from QuantaStor NAS shares to or from buckets in Seagate Lyve Cloud. This is ideal for use cases such as Media Asset Management as it moves old files to Lyve Cloud to free up local storage space.
QuantaStor Auto-Tiering is a special mode for the Backup Policies where files are tiered to the cloud and replaced with links to corresponding cloud objects so that local file storage space can be freed up thereby providing effectively unlimited capacity.
