Mainframe cold storage based on disks and tapes is typically expensive and rigid. Model9 improves the economics and flexibility by leveraging AWS storage for archival, backup, and recovery of mainframe data. Model9 enables mainframe customers to leverage modern cloud technologies and economics to reduce data recovery risks and improve application availability by providing a software-defined solution for archive, backup, and recovery directly from AWS.

Panzura Freedom is a hybrid cloud storage platform that enables IT departments to manage the explosive growth in unstructured data. It’s a good fit for customers that have an existing, heterogeneous footprint of NAS solutions and would like to unify dispersed data solutions in multiple locations on AWS for collaboration or archive. Panzura Freedom is based on the Panzura Cloud File System, which enables transparent file movement and management across Amazon S3 and multiple geographic locations.

With the increased demand from various applications and massive growth of unstructured data from workloads such as high performance computing (HPC), video rendering, or editorial workflows, traditional Network Attached Storage (NAS) solutions are a poor fit for these workloads due to their limited scalability and performance constraints. Qumulo’s continuous replication feature and ability to easily share data enables some particular use cases, such as bursting workloads across locations.

SoftNAS combines and enhances native Amazon EBS and Amazon S3 to create a full-featured cloud NAS filer. Users can move data across networks, on-premises storage architectures, and AWS. It also allows you to migrate workloads and live business applications without performance or outage worries, and cloud-enable applications without custom coding or re-engineering. Customers can run SoftNAS on multiple AZs for high availability, with automatic failover in accordance with AWS best practices.

File sync and share platforms allow companies to share files within their organization, beyond the boundaries of their own datacenter. AWS is an ideal location for these types of workloads. File sync and share solutions from APN Partners use AWS services as building blocks to provide unique offerings to customers. With a few easy steps, you can deploy CTERA and start sharing files between many different clients and platforms.

We recently hosted our first-ever APN Digital Summit with 20 sessions covering seven different AWS service areas. The all-day virtual summit gave APN Partners the chance to dive deep in areas without having to leave their office. We also hosted a virtual GameDay for APN Partners to apply their knowledge of the services covered during the session tracks. On our new APN YouTube channel, you can watch some of our sessions from the APN Digital Summit.
