The Cloud Journey: Is Data Holding You Back?
Go Cloud Faster…
Hybrid Cloud Data Management (HDM)
A data-centric approach for Cloud Mobility
Hybrid Cloud Data Management
PrimaryIO’s Unique Approach
Today moving to the cloud is a one-way journey, and needs full data replication. But with a traditional approach losing data control is a big problem.
HDM has built-in smarts to identify frequently accessed data (hot data) to get workloads up and running quickly in the cloud with rollback option.
How HDM Works?
1. Analyze
- Transparent to applications
- Identify frequently accessed data (hot data)
- Provides recommendations
2. Flex
- Only moves hot data securely to the cloud
- Data movement policy control
- Rollback at will
3. Cache
- Intelligent cloud caching
- Minimized data footprint on cloud
- Policy based sync to persistent datastore
