Tiger Bridge - Software-only Hybrid Data Management
بواسطة Tiger Technology
Intelligent data management for on-premises-first hybrid cloud workflows
Archive, disaster recovery, data protection, and storage extension with Tiger Bridge and the cloud
Tiger Bridge is an on-premises-first software-only data management solution for hybrid workflows. This transparent solution enables organizations with mission-critical on-premises deployments to benefit from Microsoft Azure multi-tier storage and services, while securely preserving existing applications and workflows.
Tiger Bridge adds substantial cost optimization when addressing multiple data management challenges:
- Capacity expansion with archive
- Disaster Recovery
- Global file access
- Continuous Data Protection
- Cloud migration
Key Benefits:
No costly vendor lock-in: Tiger Bridge connects your data stored locally with your cloud storage while preserving its native format to ensure transparent access.
No IT complexities: Tiger Bridge is a software-only solution – no additional hardware or virtual appliances required. Installation & configuration take minutes and setting policies is straightforward.
No disruption to workflows: Tiger Bridge integrates at the level of your file system and/or network share. While your team is working, policies operate transparently in the background to replicate your data to Azure storage.
Cost optimization: reduce costs by over 60% through intelligent tiering to all Azure cloud storage tiers including hot, cool, cold and archive. Tiger Bridge automatically assigns data to the right tier based on frequency of use. Optimize your investment in hardware through storage extension to the cloud based on a pay-as-you-go or a reserved capacity model.
Key Product Features:
No virtual infrastructure required: There's no need to purchase virtual appliances in order to run Tiger Bridge.
Transparent access to data through reliable stub file technology
Partial file restore capabilities: Tiger Bridge ensures that only the data you need is retrieved from the cloud to achieve significant reductions in egress and data transfer costs.
File locking capabilities: Tiger Bridge enables distributed workflows with file locking. This prevents overwriting conflicts when multiple users access the same file.
How it works
Tiger Bridge intelligently assigns data to Azure hot, cool, cold and archive tiers in its native format, and files are always accessible to users and applications. Hybrid workflows with Tiger Bridge are fully compliant with Active Directory. Tiger Bridge allows partial restoration that lowers the latency. It also allows file-locking for distributed workflows.
Tiger Bridge can run on existing physical or virtual instances or can be run on a separate gateway. It enables hybrid workflows by seamlessly pairing file systems with Azure Blob containers creating unified file systems. The data is stored in Azure Blob as native folders and files, which can be used directly by any third-party service running in Azure. Tiger Bridge runs as an unbundled solution and it requires an existing Azure storage account.
