Long before the term “cloud” was being used, the lively debate regarding on-premises versus offsite/managed storage raged on with questions such as:
<ul>
<li>Should you be moving all of your data to the cloud?</li>
<li>Should you keep your data on-prem?</li>
<li>Is there a middle ground, and is hybrid cloud storage practical?</li>
</ul>
In this episode of our Brews & Bytes live webcast, David Boland, Wasabi Director of Product Marketing, and Eric Dey, Caringo Director of Product, join host Adrian J Herrera, VP Marketing at Caringo, to discuss these questions. With perspectives as leaders in companies that specialize in cloud storage and on-premise storage and also as technology industry professionals with multiple decades of experience, this is sure to be a lively conversation. You don’t want to miss this one!

Before the term “cloud” was coined, the debate regarding on-prem vs offsite/managed storage raged on. Hear what storage leaders have to say.

Cloud architecture are the components needed for cloud computing. Typically, front-end and back-end platforms, cloud-based delivery and a network.

Cloud Architecture

Object-based storage (e.g., Amazon S3-compliant Caringo Swarm Object Storage) is the basis for all Cloud Storage⏤private, public or hybrid).

Cloud Storage

Object storage (object-based storage) is computer data storage architecture that manages data as objects, as opposed to file storage & block storage.

Our experts break it down for you by providing a brief history of the S3 protocol and discussing how it broadens your storage options in private, public and hybrid cloud storage. They will also compare S3 implementations and explain how Caringo’s S3 solution provides access to content.

What Your Storage Vendor Isn’t Telling You About S3

Data is expected to be available anywhere, anytime, and that means that storage is expected to be available anywhere at anytime. This presents huge challenges for IT and service organizations. Now you must provide cloud storage, deliver infrastructure as a service – all with feature rich capabilities that enable customizable data durability, secure access and metering. Easy, right? Then you have to scale it from Terabytes to Exabytes. So how do the big guys do it at massive scale, cost effectively? Object storage.
In this webinar you will find out how object storage enables you to:
<ul class="indent">
<li>Deliver “just-in-time” storage from TBs to EBs, without downtime</li>
<li>Provide any level of 9s data durability, without RAID or backups</li>
<li>Ensure data longevity across hardware and platforms, for decades</li>
<li>Support high performance use cases, regardless of file size or capacity</li>
<li>Benefit from the same cloud economics as the big guys</li>
</ul>

Why Major Cloud Storage Services are Built on Object Storage

The information presented is based upon real world object storage and cloud storage deployments for telcos, service providers and enterprises in various industries like healthcare, financial services and web publishing. In this webinar you will learn how to:
<ul class="indent">
<li>Economically scale infrastructure like the major clouds do, from terabytes to petabytes</li>
<li>Manage and protect petabytes, automatically with limited resources (and without RAID)</li>
<li>Rapidly deploy and manage public or private cloud storage services</li>
<li>Provide hybrid backup, file sync & share, and mobile collaboration services to remote offices/branches and mobile users</li>
</ul>

Eric Dey talks about the benefits of using a hybrid cloud strategy and how to determine if your storage vendor is empowering you or encumbering you.

Hybrid Cloud is storage that has a mix of on-premises, private cloud storage (e.g., Caringo Swarm Object Storage) & 3rd-party public cloud services.
