Leveraging unique technology to dynamically create balanced, cloud-aware data infrastructure tailored to the workload, delivering unprecedented scale and new economics
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Volumez, a pioneer in cloud-aware data infrastructure services, proudly announces the launch of its innovative Data Infrastructure as a Service (DIaaS) platform. In a bold step forward, Volumez is redefining how organizations manage, store, and leverage data in the cloud era, offering unprecedented performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
As cloud environments evolve, the gap between what organizations need and what cloud providers offer has become increasingly evident. Enterprises demand superior price/performance compared to traditional on-premises systems, yet shared storage architectures in the cloud often undermine these objectives. The rise of AI/ML pipelines has only further highlighted the limitations of current cloud storage models, with overprovisioning and unpredictable performance resulting in skyrocketing costs.
Volumez’ DIaaS platform is engineered to address these challenges, offering tailor-made data infrastructures that adapt to a variety of workloads while optimizing cost and performance. Volumez DIaaS dynamically builds optimized, balanced systems in any cloud by intelligently orchestrating compute, network, and storage resources from the cloud provider’s inventory. The result is a data infrastructure tailored to a workloads’ specific requirements. DIaaS delivers a next-generation data infrastructure solution that scales with business needs while controlling costs for high-performance, data-intensive workloads in any cloud.
“At Volumez, we recognize that modern workloads require a fundamentally new approach to data infrastructure,” said John Blumenthal, chief product and business officer at Volumez. “Volumez’ DIaaS platform reframes ‘storage’ away from a discrete cloud resource with pre-defined performance characteristics, to being a dynamic, balanced, and optimized data infrastructure purpose-built for each workload. This allows organizations to achieve exceptional performance and cost efficiency, ultimately enabling them to increase margins and unlock new revenue streams.”
Key Benefits of the Volumez DIaaS Platform:
- Cloud-Awareness: Advanced profiling and optimization of cloud resources for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
- Intelligent System Balancing: Orchestration of compute, network, and storage resources to ensure full utilization, predictable performance, and no overprovisioning.
- Composable Infrastructure: Unique combinations of cloud resources that deliver maximum performance, resiliency, and availability at minimal cost.
- Data Mobility: Seamless adjustment of service levels, enabling organizations to scale up or down based on evolving needs, ensuring future-proof investments.
Unlike traditional solutions, Volumez achieves these capabilities without introducing additional components to the data path or relying on a conventional controller. Its groundbreaking, controller-less architecture uses proprietary technology to build deep awareness of the underlying cloud infrastructure. The platform’s declarative Data Infrastructure as Code (DIaC) framework allows businesses to simplify deployment, dynamically adjust to changing service levels, and deliver guaranteed high performance for AI/ML, databases, and other data-intensive applications.
