Many visitors were looking for solutions to let them integrate their on-premises operations with the cloud. By adopting a hybrid cloud storage approach, they would be able to capitalize on the scalability and cost of cloud storage when appropriate, while also maintaining the cost predictability and control of on-prem storage.

For these visitors, Cloudian proved to be the perfect fit. We provide 100% native Amazon S3 object storage, with automated tiering between the data center and the cloud. Our HyperStore solution is also available directly from[AWS Marketplace](http://bit.ly/2gglJor), which means users can get all their usage and billing data within a single monthly invoice from AWS.

Steve Varner, Principal Data Engineer at Motorola Solutions, visited our booth and had this to say afterwards:
