Cloudian - For Capacity Intensive Workloads
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use HyperStore respectively with Amazon S3 storage in both Hybrid and Public Cloud solutions. S3 is used for backup/archiving of files coming from both external Storage and Servers. Because data growth can be quite a bit at times, it allows us to scale up or down based on the need.
Pros
- Backup
- Archive
- Supports Multi Tenant Environments
- Security is Very Robust
Cons
- Reporting can be more robust
- Hardware Support Could be Better
- Can be complicated for new users
Likelihood to Recommend
