  What Makes CloudArray Unique

TwinStrata is focused on creating innovative, enterprise-class cloud storage and data protection technology that’s easy to use. The following advantages help set award-winning TwinStrata apart from other hybrid cloud storage gateway solutions:

• Virtual or Physical Appliance – CloudArray is available as a virtual appliance or as a physical appliance, offering a choice of rapid software deployment or dedicated, purpose-built hardware.
• Fast setup – It usually takes less than 30 minutes to get up and running with CloudArray. Just download it and a setup wizard guides you through the installation and configuration.
• “Set & Forget” – Once CloudArray is running, your data is stored to the cloud automatically, non-stop. A CloudArray user portal provides real-time alerts, automatic backup of your gateway configuration, 1-click data recovery, automatic software updates, monitoring and management.
• DR Anywhere™ – In a disaster recovery situation, CloudArray can restore your data to any location, so it can be instantly available from a primary or secondary data center or via the cloud.
• Cloud Storage Provider Flexibility – Supports a variety of cloud storage options (private cloud, public cloud storage-Amazon S3, AT&T Synaptic, Nirvanix, EMC Atmos, Windstream, Mezeo, Scality and others) or existing NAS storage. Also facilitates migration between them to avoid provider lock in.
• Seamless Integration – Using an iSCSI interface, CloudArray seamlessly integrates existing applications running on both physical and virtual environments, with cloud storage. This eliminates having to learn cloud storage APIs and also protects your investment in application and backup software.
• Intelligent Caching – CloudArray caching provides local performance for volume access, and each volume is automatically replicated to cloud storage for high availability. Data can be partially or fully cached locally, depending on application needs. Cache is easy to re-size as application needs change and can consist of local disk, solid-state, network-attached or SAN storage.
• Security – CloudArray encrypts data blocks prior to transporting them to public cloud storage. CloudArray leverages the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) adopted by the U.S. government, also used to secure top secret information.
