PITTSBURGH, PA and NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwired) — 08/23/16 — , a leading provider of hybrid cloud enablement solutions, and , the leader in public cloud orchestration software for big data and big compute, today announced a technology integration that enables hybrid high-performance computing (HPC) in popular public cloud computing environments. By integrating the Avere cloud bursting technology with Cycle Computing–s offering, users are now able to launch an Avere tiered file system on demand linked directly with the CycleCloud managed scalable compute nodes through cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure.
The integration addresses a growing enterprise need for hybrid cloud solutions that enable organizations to seamlessly store data and run applications on premises or in the cloud with minimal latency and without moving large datasets from existing storage locations. The combined solution solves two of the biggest barriers to hybrid HPC adoption: automation of cloud resources and ubiquitous access to data from any storage location.
Avere and Cycle bring together industry-leading technologies to enable the cloud to easily access, manage and orchestrate workflows while maintaining control of the data itself by allowing it to remain on premises. This is particularly important in HPC-intensive industries like life sciences, financial services analytics, and government research computing, where customers seek to run large compute grids in the cloud without moving their data.
“Cycle Computing customers work with enormous data sets that require the easy and cost-effective compute power offered by the public cloud, but enabling access to the data has been a challenge,” said Rick Friedman, Vice President of Solutions and Marketing at Cycle Computing. “With Avere vFXT technology available within the platform, our customers now gain a cost-effective way to access all of the data they need while they optimize compute performance and scalability across one or even multiple cloud providers.”
The Avere vFXT Edge filers significantly improve cloud compute performance by caching the required data close to the compute nodes and avoiding latencies after the first read. Control over the data is maintained within owned storage systems while leveraging and scaling the compute capacity required for HPC workflows, such as those run by Cycle Computing customers.
“Avere–s cloud bursting technology makes it easy for HPC customers to take advantage of massive cloud compute, removing critical limitations such as network latency and concerns of data security,” said Scott Jeschonek, Director of Cloud Products at Avere Systems. “The combined strength of Avere–s vFXT with Cycle Computing–s ability to easily manage cloud access, balance multiple providers, and orchestrate workflow is a powerful solution for compute-intensive workloads.”

Avere is radically changing the economics of data storage. Avere–s hybrid cloud solutions give companies — for the first time — the ability to end the rising cost and complexity of data storage and compute via the freedom to store and access files anywhere in the cloud or on premises, without sacrificing the performance, availability, or security of enterprise data. Based in Pittsburgh, Avere is led by veterans and thought leaders in the data storage industry and is backed by investors Lightspeed Venture Partners, Menlo Ventures, Norwest Venture Partners, Tenaya Capital, and Western Digital Capital.
