Cloud Hosting

Roubaix, France January 19, 2021 To meet European enterprise and public institution security, sovereignty and resilience needs for the preservation of sensitive data, OVHcloud is collaborating with IBM and Atempo to develop a Storage-as-a-Service offering. This solution will be based on IBM Enterprise Tape technology and an Atempo software stack hosted and operated by OVHcloud in new data centers in the French territory.

With the exponential growth of data produced by the Cloud, data storage optimization has become essential, both because of costs and compliance risks. As organizations look for ways to store, manage and leverage value for this ever-increasing amount of data, Tape will play a strategic role in addressing storage infrastructure challenges.

Tape solutions offer the lowest cost per terabyte of storage available today; the technology provides the security, scalability and durability to safely store critical inactive and cold data over the long term. When stored properly, data on tape today will still be legible in 30 years time. Storing data on tape costs pennies per terabyte and, when not in use, requires zero energy consumption, unlike hard disks and flash drives.

OVHcloud will launch a cloud storage offering aimed at both public and private European organizations, which will guarantee total security and resilience for the long-term preservation of their sensitive data. This long-term storage solution is based on the IBM Enterprise 3592 Tape technology and orchestrated by Atempos technology platform, Miria. Also OVHcloud will innovate through the addition of erasure coding 9+3 technology for data protection, allowing smart replication and split of user data.

To address data localization concerns of European organisations, the solution will be hosted and operated by OVHcloud in four new dedicated facilities, all located in France and each separated by several hundred kilometers. Security is a key priority for OVHcloud, who recently obtained the ANSSI Security Visa for the SecNumCloud which qualifies its Hosted Private Cloud solution and demonstrates the highest level of IT security, in line with recommendations from the French National Agency for Information System Security, for hosting sensitive and strategic data.

The combined expertise of IBM, Atempo and OVHcloud will provide users with a unique solution that meets the regulatory requirements for data conservation, will be S3 compatible and feature ultra-competitive and predictable pricing for an unmatched price/performance ratio.

We are very pleased that the convergence of IBM, Atempo and OVHcloud expertise results in a reliable and sovereign data preservation solution declares Sylvain Rouri, Chief Sales Officer at OVHcloud. Public and private organizations will benefit from a unified and highly secure storage experience with our high-performance solutions built in a trusted cloud.

We are honored to be selected as the core Tape technology provider by OVHcloud for their cloud storage offering, says Mike Doran, Worldwide Sales Director at IBM. This is another proof point of the enduring value that IBM Enterprise Tape provides to organizations as they look to cost effectively and securely store ever growing amounts of critical data.

There is a deep yearning of professional organizations for a trusted cloud. At Atempo, we are excited to join forces with IBM, and OVHcloud as we pave the way for a new era, a new digital deal, which goes far beyond the borders of the European Union, concludes Luc dUrso, CEO of the Atempo.Wooxo Group.

Big data analytics software developer Kyligence this week unveiled Kyligence Cloud 4, the first cloud-native release of the companys AI-enhanced analytics platform that can deliver sub-second response time against petabytes of data.

The company is the latest of a number of database and data analytics companies to offer their software through the cloud. Kyligence Cloud 4 is available on the Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure platforms.

The whole point is sub-second interactive queries against very large datasets. Its about performance for analytics in the cloud, said George Demarest, Kyligence head of marketing, speaking of the companys new software in an interview with CRN.

The Kyligence system is based on Apache Kylin, an open-source, distributed analytics engine for performing multi-dimensional analysis on huge datasets. The original Kylin technology was developed by the founders of Kyligence (Kylin plus intelligence) who founded the company to provide a commercial version of the technology with added capabilities and services.

Kyligence, with headquarters in San Jose, Calif., and Shanghai, China, was launched in 2016. The company has raised $48 million in funding.

A key selling point of the Kyligence system is its OLAP functionality that pre-aggregates data in multi-dimensional indexes or cubes, greatly speeding up queries and analysis of data. The system can handle datasets in cloud-based data warehouses and data lakes with hundreds of terabytes and even multiple petabytes of data.

While Kyligence is competing with cloud data warehouse service providers such as Snowflake and AWS, customers are also using the companys software in conjunction with those platforms to pre-aggregate data to cut down on billable computation time with those vendors, said Li Kang, head of Kyligence, North America, in the CRN interview.

The more you run those queries, the more money you save, Li said.

Earlier versions of Kyligence were closely tied to the Hadoop big data platform. But Demarest said later editions, culminating with the Cloud 4 release, have reduced that dependence as Hadoop has become less popular for big data tasks.

The new Kyligence Cloud 4 offers the elasticity that comes with a cloud-native architecture and the separate scaling of compute and storage functions, Li said. It also allows Kyligence to take advantage of cloud clusters and cloud object storage systems.

New in the Cloud 4 release is an AI-augmented engine that uses machine learning algorithms and auto-indexing, leveraging query history and previous user behavior to continually improve performance.

The release also offers data modeling automation to reduce data preparation time for data science and data analysis workloads. Demarest said the new capabilities can reduce data preparation from days or weeks to hours or even minutes.

A new unified semantic service in Cloud 4 creates a single, consolidated view across data sources that can be easily accessed by SQL business analysis tools like Tableau, Excel or custom-built SQL applications. (Kyligence provides its own lightweight data analysis tool for accessing data in the Kyligence system.)

And new Smart Pushdown functionality provides intelligence query routing to improve query performance, even for ad hoc or detailed queries, and eliminates the need to move data for data discovery and exploration.

Kyligence sells both direct and through channel resellers and works with systems integrators (including global systems integrator Cognizant) and other implementation partners. Technology partners include cloud and data management platform vendors and business analysis tool and application developers.
