AUCKLAND, New Zealand, May 26, 2022 - Cloudian today announced that its HyperStore object storage platform is now integrated and validated to work with Microsoft SQL Server 2022, a relational database management
system that supports a wide variety of transaction processing, business intelligence and analytics applications. As a
result, Microsoft SQL Server 2022 customers will be able to take advantage of the public cloud-like scalability and
flexibility Cloudian brings to users’ own data centres. Cloudian was invited to participate in Microsoft’s Early Adopter
Program and after conducting validation testing to ensure seamless integration with SQL Server, the company is part of
the newly announced Microsoft SQL Server public preview.
As enterprises increasingly seek to run SQL data analytics applications on-premises to gain greater insights from their
local data, they need a modern storage foundation that can support these applications. Featuring fully native S3
compatibility, limitless scalability and industry-leading security – including data immutability for protection against
ransomware – Cloudian’s HyperStore solution provides this foundation. It also offers advanced metadata tagging, enabling
faster data searches and facilitating artificial intelligence, machine learning and analytics applications. Cloudian
delivers all these benefits and more at up to 70 per cent lower TCO, compared to public cloud and traditional storage
offerings.
The combination of HyperStore and Microsoft SQL Server enables the creation and deployment of analytical queries for
complex applications in cybersecurity, predictive maintenance, risk management and many other areas. It addresses three
main use cases:Staging files for loading.Storing database backups.Enabling federated queries using data stored with HyperStore.
In addition, the products support data professionals and their testing of diverse models in parallel on multi-structured
data sets, including machine learning.
“Today’s announcement again highlights Cloudian’s leadership in hybrid cloud data management,” said Jon Toor, chief
marketing officer, Cloudian. “We were honoured that Microsoft invited us to participate in its Early Adopter Program and
now look forward to helping more customers leverage the combined solution to extract greater value and insights from
their on-prem data.”
“Our customers have vast data stores on-premises, and they want a storage infrastructure that enables them to run their
SQL analytics applications with the same ease and flexibility they would in Microsoft Azure,” said Asad Khan, director
product manager, Azure Database Services, Microsoft. “Cloudian’s HyperStore object storage was architected from the
start to provide a seamless, cloud-like experience in organisations’ own data centres, providing a robust storage
solution for our SQL Server 2022 users.”
