Large enterprises have a myriad of data-driven applications with complex dependencies and data platforms which span multiple regions across a private, public, hybrid or multi-cloud.

March 23rdannounced the integration of NetApp StorageGRID, software-defined scalable object storage for distributed data with security and disaster recovery, with Alluxio’s Data Orchestration Platform that simplifies the delivery of data to a wide variety of data-driven applications.

The combined solution helps enterprises accelerate adoption of the cloud and optimize their resource spend for a modern data platform ready for enormous scale.[1]

The joint solution addresses two key aspects for such a platform:

  • storing data
  • serving data across geographical regions

“NetApp StorageGRID promises to provide reliable storage for analytics and AI solutions spanning regions for some of our largest customers,” said Adit Madan, Sr. Product Manager, Alluxio.

“More and more, enterprise applications and workloads span across growing hybrid multi-cloud environments, and as such organizations face increasing complexity to manage business-critical data,” said Duncan Moore, General Manager, Object Storage at NetApp.[2]

Data platform teams using engines like Presto, Spark, PyTorch and Tensorflow will benefit from the joint solution for all data storage and management needs when data is segregated across regions for load balancing or high availability.

Key highlights of the joint integration include:

  • Unified Namespace to Break Down Data Silos.
  • Transparent Data Tiering
  • Data Caching Across Regions.

NetApp StorageGRID integration with the Alluxio Data Orchestration Platform is immediately available.[3]
