Cloudian Integrates with AWS Mountpoint for Fast File Services

Cloudian’s newly-announced integration with AWS Mountpoint enables new options for managing file-based data on Cloudian’s S3-compatible platform, delivering high-performance file services with a lightweight file client.

AWS Mountpoint enables direct, file-system-like access to S3-compatible storage. While traditional object storage interfaces require specific S3 API calls for data access and manipulation, AWS Mountpoint simplifies this process by allowing standard Linux file operations to interact with object storage, thus bridging the gap between object storage and file-based applications.

Cloudian’s HyperStore platform is known for delivering high-performance, cost-effective storage that is fully compatible with the S3 API, making it the go-to choice for businesses seeking to manage vast amounts of data. The integration with AWS Mountpoint enhances Cloudian’s offering, enabling users to mount data stored in Cloudian data lakes as local file systems.

For Cloudian users, this means enhanced ease of use and operational efficiency. Data stored on Cloudian’s HyperStore can now be accessed using familiar Linux commands, eliminating the need for data copying to local storage for access and processing. This is particularly beneficial for applications requiring high throughput and low latency, such as large-scale machine learning, genomic analysis, and autonomous vehicle simulation, among others.

Moreover, the integration brings several key advantages to Cloudian HyperStore customers:

By combining Cloudian’s scalable object storage with the innovative file access capabilities of AWS Mountpoint, businesses can now leverage a powerful, flexible storage solution that meets the demands of modern, data-intensive applications. This integration not only underscores Cloudian’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction but also reinforces the versatility and efficiency of using AWS services for enterprise storage needs.

Here is an AWS post that describes how one of their customers uses Mountpoint today.
