Intelligent Data Management

Cut the Costs, Cut the Effort
With Intelligent Data Management

Transparently archive, replicate, and migrate
the right data across NAS and Cloud.

THE SIMPLE, SMART WAY TO MANAGE DATA

Moonwalk analyzes, moves and manages data across your storage to give instant savings of 70%+ without any disruption. Plan storage capacity, identify and transparently archive cold data, create a low-cost DR copy, migrate data and shrink backups with Moonwalk. The modern architecture uses no storage agents, no static stubs, and no changes to the hot data or metadata paths. Moonwalk creates no storage lock-in, has no scaling limits, requires no dedicated hardware, and is priced at a fraction of the alternative

INTELLIGENTLY AND EFFORTLESSLY MANAGE DATA LIFECYCLE WITH MOONWALK

Analyze and understand your NAS data, simply and efficiently archive, replicate and manage data across clouds without any changes to file-based users and applications.
In 15 minutes, simply setup the Moonwalk virtual machine, point at your storage, and get insights into your data. See how data is growing and being used across your NFS, SMB/CIFS NAS storage. No agents needed, no disruption.

ONE VIEW ACROSS STORAGE

You no longer need to drive blind with your data. You have a single view of data across your storage, and one place for your data management policies across storage silos, on premise and cloud.

ARCHIVE, REPLICATE, MIGRATE DATA EFFORTLESSLY

Unlike traditional solutions that can slowdown performance of storage as they analyze and move data, Moonwalk is built on a distributed architecture and adaptively throttles back to run non-intrusively in the background with no performance impact. Moonwalk moves data without fronting the data or metadata paths, so users don’t even know it is there.

TRANSPARENT FILE ACCESS WITH NO USER CHANGES

All the data is seamlessly accessible as files from your existing storage as files with no changes to users or apps, even when they are stored as objects on the targets. Moonwalk fully preserves all the file attributes and maintains a hierarchical file view even when the data is stored as objects. And, data is directly accessible from your targets – with no lock-in.

NO SCALING LIMITS

Moonwalk scales out on-demand to handle petabytes and more of data– there are no central bottlenecks, databases or servers to limit scalability.

WHY Moonwalk?

Unlike legacy data management solutions that are costly, complex, require dedicated infrastructure, and often interfere with the hot data and metadata paths, Moonwalk is simple, efficient, lightweight and runs outside the hot data path in the background.

MOVES DATA WITHOUT STUBS OR FRONTING DATA

Moonwalk transparently moves data across your file and object storage without getting in front of your data or metadata paths. It does not use static stubs that can be corrupted or orphaned. Data moved by Moonwalk is fully accessible from the sources as files exactly as before, and as files or objects on the target.

VIRTUAL TRANSPARENT FILE SYSTEM

Moonwalk mimics a full hierarchical filesystem on cloud/object and maintains a dynamic link on the primary NAS so that users still see and access the moved files as if they are on the original NAS. All NTFS permissions and attributes are fully preserved, and no agents or changes to the source NAS are needed. Moved data is accessible as files from the source, and as files/objects on the target – so there is zero lock-in.

ANALYTICS DRIVEN INTELLIGENCE

Moonwalk uses the analytics it provides into data usage and growth to optimize and drive how it moves, archives, replicates and manages data to suit your particular data needs.

SCALE-OUT SOFTWARE WITH NO CENTRAL BOTTLENECKS

Start with one Moonwalk virtual machine, and simply add more to scale, balance load and create fault-tolerance. There are no central databases or bottlenecks to limit scalability. Resiliency and high-availability are built-in without requiring any dedicated infrastructure.

ADAPTS TO YOUR ENVIRONMENT

Moonwalk analyzes and manages data in the background, unobtrusive to storage and network performance, and outside the hot data and metadata paths. It adaptively throttles back as needed when your storage or network are in active use, so you never have to monitor or schedule when Komprise runs.

UNDER THE HOOD

Moonwalk has been architected from the ground-up to address today’s massive scale of data with unprecedented simplicity, efficiency and scalability

Moonwalk is a patented* software technology for the implementation and execution of data management policies that reflect the specific requirements of any organization.
Moonwalk allows file data to be managed by any attribute, making complex rules easier to express in simple business policies, allowing for easier archiving, faster retrieval, and most importantly, the ability to dramatically reduce the total cost of storage ownership.
Moonwalk is a sociable, non-disruptive technology with no introduced points of failure or scalability limitations. Moonwalk’s architecture minimizes network congestion and computing and storage resource consumption
