2018 was all about simpler interfaces and better access to real-time data which is why Komprise makes an excellent candidate for the 2018 Storage Systems and Management Tool POY!

The cloud is now nearly ubiquitous in enterprise IT infrastructures. So, it’s no surprise many of the finalists in this year’s Products of the Year competition boast better cloud integration among other touted features.

Being able to move data seamlessly to and from the cloud is high on the list of many of the new features among 2018 storage management contenders. Perhaps taking a cue from the success of hyper-converged infrastructure, ease of management and simplicity of the user interface are also prominently featured on a number of finalist submissions in the storage systems and management tools category.

While last year AI was a common thread, this year direct access to network and fabric data is common to many of the finalists. Being able to pull traffic and telemetry data straight from the fabric or switches that move the data around seems to be vital to quickly determining data management problems.

With that being said, Lifeboat is happy to announce that our partner, Komprise Intelligent Data Management 2.7, is in the running!

Komprise Intelligent Data Management 2.7 runs outside the path of high-demand, or “hot,” data so not to negatively affect performance. The data storage systems and management tools software can still move data from hot to cold storage, however, from on premises to cloud, to archives, live and on the fly. According to Komprise, it can scale to hundreds of petabytes on demand.

Komprise, the industry-leader in intelligent data management across clouds, empowers businesses to efficiently manage today’s massive scale of data growth while unlocking its value. The Komprise mission is to radically simplify data management through intelligent automation.
