Mobility and agility infiltrate enterprise infrastructure | #reinvent
by Gabriel Pesek | Oct 7, 2015
The applications of cloud storage and other aspects of Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) continue to spread in relevance to companies that have previously had little familiarity with or interest in the possibilities of cloud technologies. One such example is the textiles company Royal Ten Cate (TenCate), which recently hired Zerto Ltd. to help them make the move to AWS’ cloud servers.
Josh Oates, system engineer for TenCate, and Jennifer Gill, director of global product marketing for Zerto, met with Stu Miniman, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, at the Amazon re:Invent 2015 event to discuss that change-over, how AWS has been meeting TenCate’s needs and the opportunities opened up by the new utilities.
Clouds and cost efficiency
Oates described one of TenCate’s memorable uses of Zerto’s software: “We brought on a new company in California … it was either back [their data] up to physical storage and ship it, or [do a slow transfer] over the Internet,” he explained. With Zerto, “after we initially seeded the server, after about 10 minutes it was up on our servers.”
Gill noted that while her division of Zerto had initially expected business from companies looking for sheer cost-saving measures, they had quickly received attention from big banks and pharmaceutical companies as well, though the cost efficiency had been of interest to all of them.
Slimming standardization
Zerto’s entrance to working with TenCate came as the textile company was looking to streamline its data management and retention facilities. Creating a cross-platform, cross-storage standardization of the servers and introducing TenCate’s data teams to the AWS applications, Zerto provided “mobility and agility within the infrastructure,” according to Gill.
Oates confirmed that TenCate was quite happy with the results of the move, as well as with being able to move data to the cloud and switch portions of it on and off according to need. “We can migrate something over there, test it, see if it’s performing like we expected,” he said, also noting the convenience of being able to move applications back and forth in a similar fashion.
