Conversion, Staging, Migration

Across almost all applications and vertical markets there is a time-to-time need for temporary data storage space. This can be a singular event such as the installation of a new facility or the change-out of an existing storage infrastructure or the migration to a new application platform with a required data conversion and staging process.

 

Any of these events can require the temporary or transient use of a large capacity of storage. Purchasing such storage for a one-time use is out of the question. Trying to free up already utilized capacity on existing devices is risky and requires management and planning resources that could better be applied elsewhere.

 

Many storage-as-a-service offerings come up short as well. They may require new application interfaces to access their storage or require specialized on-premise hardware or software. They may also lack the capacity scale, bandwidth scale or flexible business model.

 

Zetta on-demand storage can provide a perfect solution for either the occasional migration or a regularly available resource if such conversions or migrations are performed more often. From a cost standpoint, the Zetta solution scales to match the requirement. Pay only for the storage and bandwidth you consume for the amount of time you consume it. When you are finished, simply remove the data, and the charges cease.

 

Zetta offers:

 

• Instant, scalable capacity on-demand
• Native cloud file system with standard access protocol support (NFS, CIFS, FTP, etc.)
• Cost-efficient, pay-for-what-you-use model
• Scalable bandwidth configuration
• Unlimited file size
• No on-premise specialized hardware or software

 

Zetta provides an ideal solution for temporary storage required to support conversions, staging or migrations.
