Cloud computing services like Amazon EC2 offer near infinite compute resources for such applications but introduce new challenges. How do I get my data to the compute cloud for processing? How do I avoid the latency of the WAN? How do I scale file system performance in the compute cloud?=0A=0AAvere Systems addresses these challenges with a Hybrid Cloud NAS solution that is the first scale-out NAS solution purpose-built for the cloud. With Avere, you can achieve the following in the compute cloud: 1) Scalable NAS performance through clustering, 2) High availability with active/active failover, 3) Access data stored on premises or in the cloud, 4) Caching hides WAN latency, 5) Full NFS and SMB/CIFS support, 6) Simple software-only installation SUMMARY:Scale Performance for File-Based Applications in an Instant with Cloud Bursting PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
