The Traditional Storage Problem
Most organisations manage storage like they did 20 years ago: buy capacity when you run out, hope nothing breaks, and pray you can find files when you need them. This approach simply doesn’t work in the age of multiple storage platforms, multi-cloud and multiple geographies. Today’s petabyte-scale global environments need a smarter approach which is why you need CloudSoda storage management.
CloudSoda storage management lets you turn your data into your competitive advantage
Side-by-Side Comparison
| Challenge | Traditional Approach | CloudSoda |
| Data Visibility | Users have just enough visibility to work, IT teams do their best to manage across storage siloes | Visibility across all storage regardless of platform, cloud or geography |
| Finding Files | Users waste time searching for the right files and folders | Find any file across your entire data estate |
| Storage Costs | No visibility into the relationship between cost and usage, Becomes an IT department cost | Real-time cost analytics for charge-back and show-back. |
| Data Migration | Complex scripts, consultant engagements, high failure rates | UI driven migrations cost preview before starting |
| Duplicate Data | Unknown waste consumes 20-40% of storage capacity | Intelligent deduplication identifies and eliminates redundant data |
| Storage Optimisation | Users and IT teams react to problems after storage is full | Proactive policies automatically move data to optimal storage tiers |
| Multi-Cloud Management | Separate tools and processes for each cloud provider | Unified platform managing on-premises, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud |
| Access Control | File-level permissions that break during migrations | Role-based access control that follows data anywhere it moves |
| Disaster Recovery | Hope backups work and data can be found when needed | Automated replication with validated data integrity |
