On heels of Cisco, NetApp investments, Datos IO says it is the missing piece to muliti-cloud
Seventy percent of chief information officers have a cloud-first strategy, according to the International Data Corp., but if they think the cloud is a silo-free Shangri-La, they are wrong, according to Peter Smails, vice president of marketing and business development at Datos IO Inc.
“We’ve pushed the silo problem from on-prem to the cloud. Clouds don’t talk to each other,” Smails said during Dell EMC World in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Datos IO’s mission is to mobilize data through and across these silos, Smails and Tarun Thakur, co-founder and chief executive officer of Datos IO, told John Furrier (@furrier), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile live streaming studio, and co-host Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor). (* Disclosure below.)
Cisco and NetApp just made multi-million dollar investments into the Datos IO data management and protection platform, validating its claim that data protection is indispensable for cloud applications.
“You cannot have a cloud-first strategy if you don’t protect your data,” Smails said.
Datos IO’s selective protection strategy enables data to move across on-prem and cloud environments, said Thakur. “Why backup an entire database when you only care about a couple of tables? Remember, we are going from traditional monolithic architectures to micro-services in the cloud,” he stated.
The revolution will be cloudified
Data backup and protection have been slow to catch up with decentralized cloud architecture, Thakur stated.
“There has been no innovation in this space of backup and recovery for the last 20 years,” he said. What worked in the four-wall data center with media server-based architectures and backup solutions written for tape is useless in the cloud, he explained.
“To do distributed, highly scalable applications, you need a fundamentally different approach to protecting those applications,” Thakur said. Breaking the metadata catalog from its silo and stretching it across all environments gives developers greater freedom to test and develop applications, he added.
In plain English, “I want to put my data where I want to put it when I want to put it there,” Smails said, adding that this can make the mulit-cloud “fantasy” a reality.
