Data repatriation – why now?

Data (or cloud) repatriation is the process of moving data, applications, and workloads from public cloud providers back to on‑premises data centers, private clouds, or alternative hosting environments. Organizations pursue repatriation to improve cost efficiency, gain tighter security and sovereignty, and better align infrastructure with long‑term business and regulatory requirements. In practical terms, repatriation means … Read More

Why Financial Institutions are Bringing AI In-House

Artificial intelligence is reshaping financial services—from fraud detection to loan processing to regulatory reporting. But for most financial institutions, public cloud-based services have limitations. Strict data privacy regulations, real-time latency requirements, and the sensitivity of customer financial data make public cloud a poor fit for some workloads. The answer is on-premises AI infrastructure purpose-built for … Read More

Top 10 Reasons NCPs and NeoClouds Choose Cloudian for Storage

NCPs and NeoClouds operate at the intersection of AI infrastructure and enterprise service delivery. NCP/NeoCloud storage is mission-critical: it must perform at GPU speed, scale without disruption, and support the complex multi-tenant, multi-datacenter environments that modern AI clouds demand. Cloudian HyperStore is purpose-built for NCP and NeoCloud storage requirements. Below are the ten capabilities that … Read More

NVIDIA STX: The Modular Blueprint for AI-Native Storage — and Cloudian Is All In

When NVIDIA announced the BlueField-4-powered Inference Context Memory Storage Platform at CES in January, we immediately recognized its significance. As we wrote in our January blog post, the KV cache represents a paradigm shift — a new class of ephemeral AI data that demands purpose-built storage infrastructure optimized for speed and efficiency rather than traditional … Read More

RDMA for S3-compatible Storage: Moving Beyond AI to Become the New Standard for Modern Data Architectures

In the world of data storage, the S3 API has long been the undisputed language of the cloud. It is flexible, scalable, and universal. However, as data-intensive workloads—led by AI and machine learning—began to push the limits of traditional networking, a bottleneck emerged: the TCP/IP stack. To break this bottleneck, Cloudian recently introduced RDMA (Remote … Read More

Cloud Repatriation: Moving Your Data from the Cloud to On Premises

Cloud repatriation is becoming increasingly common in enterprise IT. We all know the expression that "data has gravity." It's become so common in tech circles it's practically a cliché. Yet the fundamental truth remains: once your data settles into a cloud environment, moving it on-prem becomes a formidable challenge. However, a growing number of enterprises ... Read More

Why CTERA and Cloudian Make Sense as a Modern NAS Replacement

Traditional Network Attached Storage has served organizations well for decades, but the limitations are becoming harder to ignore. Storage silos scattered across multiple sites, capacity constraints that require constant hardware refreshes, and the inability to scale efficiently in cloud-first environments are pushing IT teams to reconsider their approach. CTERA and Cloudian together offer a compelling ... Read More

Navigating the Flash Storage Crisis: How Intelligent Data Tiering Delivers Relief

The enterprise storage landscape has fundamentally changed. After years of steadily declining flash prices, IT leaders now face a stark new reality: enterprise NVMe flash costs are surging, and relief isn’t coming anytime soon. But there’s a strategic path forward that doesn’t require choosing between performance and budget—intelligent data tiering. The Flash Market Has Turned … Read More

How Ephemeral AI Storage Saves Cost and Increases AI Performance

Today’s CES announcement of NVIDIA BlueField-4-powered Inference Context Memory Storage Platform validates what forward-thinking AI architects have long understood: AI inference is creating a new class of data that doesn’t need traditional fault-tolerant storage—and treating it like permanent data is costing AI-native organizations billions in unnecessary infrastructure. The reason is the Key-Value (KV) Cache. When … Read More
