Aventior architects design and builds a solution to integrate local storage appliances with the scale of the cloud for one of the top data storage companies in the worldOpportunityIn the age of information, where do we keep all the dataData storage is a critical aspect of any business.

Businesses of all sizes are faced with an increasing amount of data, and it is not only attributed to economic growth – companies are constantly discovering new ways to leverage data to refine their products, services, and analyze customer behavior, which means more data needs to be both captured and stored.

It allows businesses large and small to simplify data management, maximize server performance, back up critical data, and increase application availability.

For this reason, the use of storage area networks or SAN remains common when it comes to enterprise data storage management solutions.SANs are essentially dedicated networks connecting data storage tools with larger networks, facilitating the pooling of storage among data centers.

However,companies that specialize in enterprise storage solutions have now caught on to the potential benefits of integrating locally hosted storage appliances with the benefits offered by cloud storage solutions.

ApproachIntegrating local storage appliances with the scale of the cloudThe solution developed by Aventior would utilize a combination of AWS CloudFormation and AWS IoT Greengrass to create a dynamic and infinitely scalable architecture to support the desired functionality.AWS CloudFormation allows the use of programming languages in the modeling and provisioning of the resources needed for applications.
