Data Intelligence and Data Orchestration in One
Managing unstructured data used to require two categories of tool. One for visibility and analytics. Another for data movement and orchestration. CloudSoda brings both into a single Data Intelligence platform with two tightly integrated modules: Data Intelligence and Data Orchestration.
Data Intelligence: Index, Analyse, Understand
Data Intelligence gives you complete visibility into your unstructured data estate. It scans and indexes filesystems and object storage across all vendors, building a searchable metadata catalogue in Elasticsearch. Moreover, the Data Intelligence platform enables seamless integration between visibility and analytics functions.
Search and Discovery. Find any file across all indexed storage in seconds. Search by name, extension, path, size, owner, modification date or any combination. No more recursive directory crawls that take hours.
Cost Analytics. Assign custom price books to each storage system and see true cost per GB. Compare costs across NAS, cloud and archive tiers in one view. CloudSoda calculates storage costs automatically so finance and IT speak the same language.
Duplicate Detection. Identify files that exist in multiple locations across your estate. Duplicate data is one of the largest sources of wasted storage spend, and CloudSoda surfaces it automatically.
Storage Heatmaps. Compare scan indexes from different points in time to visualise data growth, shrinkage and change patterns. Spot storage hotspots before they become capacity problems. Additionally, the Data Intelligence platform provides visual tools for trend analysis.
User and Group Analysis. Attribute storage consumption by file owner and group. Useful for departmental chargebacks, identifying heavy consumers and understanding who is generating the most data.
Reporting Engine. Build custom reports to flag files by age, type, size, duplication status or any search criteria. Schedule reports for compliance, retention reviews or operational housekeeping.
Data Orchestration: Move, Automate, Optimise
Data Orchestration handles the movement of data between any storage platform in your environment. Filesystem to filesystem. Filesystem to cloud. Cloud to cloud. Any direction, any vendor. Clearly, a Data Intelligence platform simplifies orchestration and movement across different storage infrastructures.
High-Speed Transfer. CloudSoda’s parallel transfer architecture saturates available bandwidth with no artificial caps. Reference customers routinely achieve 100Gbps between geographic locations. A 50TB dataset that takes six days on legacy tools completes in under 14 hours.
Dry Run and Cost Modelling. Before moving a single byte, CloudSoda models the full cost picture: egress fees from the source, ingress costs at the destination and ongoing monthly storage charges. No surprise bills.
Policy-Driven Automation. Schedule automated transfers based on file age, type, access patterns or cron expressions. Move cold data to cheaper tiers automatically. Archive completed projects on schedule without manual intervention.
Anywhere-to-Anywhere. Transfer between NFS, SMB, AWS S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, Wasabi and Backblaze B2 in any combination. CloudSoda handles the protocol translation transparently.
Agent Clustering. Distribute a single transfer job across multiple agents working in parallel. Deploying four agents instead of one can reduce transfer times by up to 60%.
Validation and Integrity. Every transfer includes end-to-end verification. If individual files fail, they are logged and retried without restarting the entire job.
One Platform, Shared Infrastructure
Both modules share a unified agent, centralised user management with RBAC, a single storage view, consolidated price books and a GraphQL API. Deploy once, manage everything from one interface using the Data Intelligence platform.
