NetActuate Unveils Global Edge Storage

NetActuate, a prominent player in global infrastructure and network services, recently revealed a groundbreaking service known as Global Edge Storage. This new offering aims to cater to the increasing need for adaptable, high-performance storage solutions, particularly for edge workloads across its extensive network of 45+ markets worldwide.

A New Era of Storage Solutions

The introduction of Global Edge Storage marks a significant enhancement in how organizations manage their data. With this service, users can access various types of storage configurations, including attachable block storage, S3-compatible object storage, and customizable storage solutions. Each of these options can be seamlessly deployed alongside computing resources within the expansive NetActuate network.

Key Features of Global Edge Storage

Each storage type is designed with performance and accessibility in mind:

• - Block Storage: High-performance volumes that can be linked to virtual machines (VMs), Kubernetes, or bare metal, ideal for handling latency-sensitive tasks. Customers can opt for either Block Device or Block Storage Pool.
• - Object Storage: This feature focuses on unstructured data storage and retrieval through standard S3-compatible tools and APIs, offering users choices between S3 Bucket or S3 Object Store.
• - Custom Storage: Tailored configurations designed to meet unique performance, compliance, or architecture specifications, providing maximum flexibility.

Enhanced Management Capabilities

One of the strongest advantages of Global Edge Storage is its centralized management capabilities. Customers can easily oversee their storage resources through the intuitive NetActuate customer portal—a streamlined process that avoids unnecessary complexity. This repository of resources can be provisioned with just a few clicks, or via automated API and continuous integration/continuous delivery workflows.

Cost Efficiency Unlike Any Other

NetActuate has adopted a distinctive pricing model for its Global Edge Storage, focused solely on the amount of storage utilized and the corresponding outbound bandwidth. This model is beneficial as it avoids hidden fees or unexpected costs associated with inbound transfers, simplifying budgeting for organizations.

Built for Modern Infrastructure

The global reach of NetActuate’s network dovetails perfectly with the requirements of modern applications. As compliance with local regulations surrounding data sovereignty grows in importance, the ability to manage storage across various geographical locations becomes increasingly essential. Global Edge Storage enables businesses to store, process, and govern their data according to regional demands, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
