TwinStrata Unveils Cloud Storage Enablement Strategy

Intelligent Storage Clouds
New York City - Cloud Expo - April 20, 2010 - TwinStrata, Inc.,
founded in 2007, debuts today with its vision for intelligent storage
cloud solutions. Taking an innovative approach, the company is
bringing to market cloud storage enablement software solutions to help
mid-sized companies in a variety of industries address challenges
related to protecting and managing the growth of business application
data.
Operational Challenges of Data Management
Today's IT data management teams are tasked with selecting solutions
that maintain the integrity and availability of data, especially
higher value data related to business critical applications. Storage-
related solutions need to easily and quickly scale to accommodate
future data growth and not require capital intensive upgrades when
capacity limits are reached. They must support multiple data formats
for all types of business applications. In addition, companies should
understand the impact an application outage will have on each line-of-
business or on the company as a whole in order to implement
appropriate data recovery operations.
Cloud Technology Ecosystems
To help companies achieve business agility and efficiency, IT
alignment and cost management, several ecosystems started by industry-
leading vendors have emerged. EMC with its EMC Atmos Velocity Program
and Amazon with its Amazon Web Services are each an example of an
ecosystem of solution providers developing cloud enablement solutions
that leverage their respective cloud services. These ecosystems will
have a significant impact on storage cloud adoption.
Corporations using solutions from these ecosystems benefit from the
cloud. They can now instantly respond to changing business
requirements by taking advantage of an adaptable infrastructure and
adding resources as needed. Storage cloud infrastructures eliminate
lengthy change management cycles when bringing new storage
infrastructure online and optimize IT administrative processes to
drive efficiency and improve staff productivity.
“Cloud enablement solutions, like the one TwinStrata offers, will help
accelerate corporate cloud storage adoption,” said Terri McClure, a
senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “Companies can realize
the availability, security and performance characteristics of local
storage, without the capital investment and overhead of housing and
managing storage themselves.”
“TwinStrata is working with customers around the world and with
industry-leading global technology companies to define and develop
intelligent storage cloud architectures and solutions,” said
TwinStrata CEO & Co-Founder Nicos Vekiarides.
"The EMC Velocity2 Atmos Partner Program demonstrates our commitment
to deliver innovative storage solutions that address the growing needs
of our partners seeking to leverage cloud infrastructure. We believe
there is an opportunity and approach to cloud storage that delivers
financial and functional benefits to both our Partners and the
Customers they serve," said Mike Feinberg, Senior Vice President of
EMC Cloud Infrastructure Group. “By making our cloud infrastructure
accessible and allowing easy API integration, we enable our partners
to develop cloud enablement solutions to help customers realize
business agility, drive IT operational efficiency, and improve cost
controls. We are pleased to work with TwinStrata to embrace and
deliver real-world business value to our joint customers, globally."
