The new managed service, operated by Elastifile, but with a Google UI and Google billing of the customer, is the product of a deep collaboration between the two companies.
ElastiFile 3.0 introduces ClearTier, which facilitates the creation of an integrated file/object namespace, and greatly lowers costs by allowing file systems to be stored in object.
Elastifile, which already has a very close relationship with AWS, deepens their partnership with Google in a way that sees them become the first shared file system on the Google Cloud Launcher.
Elastifile’s certification as an APN Technology Partner facilitates their offering native AWS deployments, and strengthens their already blossoming business with AWS customers.
Elastifile leverages its distributed metadata model to produce a scale-out, flash-native distributed file system that provides both storage and data lifecycle management.
