It is estimated that by next year, 90% of enterprises worldwide
will build their IT strategies around a mix of on-premises private
clouds, public clouds, and their existing platforms to accommodate
the increasingly diverse set of requirements of their modern
applications. These organizations require a hybrid cloud strategy
built on best of breed technology that delivers unified management,
interoperability, flexibility, agility, and performance to be
successful and avoid complexity, higher costs, and data mobility
challenges.
With the validated integration of FlashBlade with AWS Outposts,
AWS customers can now leverage a low-latency, high-performance
unified fast file and object platform with native Amazon Simple
Storage Service (Amazon S3) capabilities in tandem with AWS
services, APIs, and tools - all with simplified management and
container capabilities in their own datacenter. This solution will
enable use cases such as artificial intelligence (AI), modern
analytics, DevOps, rapid restore, and next-generation applications
that require real-time response and high-throughput, in addition to
satisfying data sovereignty, compliance, and local-processing
requirements.
