SCALE UP WITHOUT ADDING COMPLEXITY
Enjoy cloud-attached storage that scales as your applications require, without the need to add costly compute nodes.
FLEXIBLE PERFORMANCE TIERING
Storage performance tiers allow you to optimize your storage design, matching access frequency and throughput capabilities to your specific workloads, while reducing costs to store less frequently accessed data.
DECREASE RISK WITH DURABLE AND PERSISTENT STORAGE
Faction storage is persistent, unlike many of your other options. Most public clouds leverage hyper-converged infrastructure, so if a software-defined data center is shut down, all data is lost as the node is deleted. You can avoid that scenario with Faction cloud storage.
INCREASE SPEED TO MARKET WITH RAPID CLOUD MIGRATION
When you use CCVs with VMware Cloud on AWS, you can leverage existing skills and tools on familiar VMware technology and replicate directly from your on-premise storage arrays to Faction storage.

AWS
AWS has been offering infrastructure as a service since 2008 and currently holds the largest market share of the hyperscale cloud providers. AWS offers an impressive collection of services across analytics, compute, storage, database, adn developer tools. Access these AWS-native services with ultra-low latency connections while maintaining control over your data with Faction Cloud Control Volumes.
VMware Cloud on AWS
Faction Cloud Control Volumes were the FIRST cloud-attached storage solution that integrates natively with VMware Cloud on AWS. The service is directly connected to VMware Cloud on AWS via proprietary, patented network connectivity with less than 3-millisecond latency. Build VMware-based environments that can integrate with native AWS IaaS and PaaS tools; from database services to security to content distribution, you have over 100 services that can help rapidly build and scale composite applications. Customers can also leverage this service for cloud-based, cost-effective disaster-recovery-as-a-service for VMware-based workloads.
Azure
Faction has partnered with Dell Technologies to combine the benefits of compute and processing services in the cloud with the unmatched scalability, performance and efficiency of Faction CCVs on Dell storage hardware, while maintaining control and security of their data. This service delivers a higher bandwidth (up to 200 Gbps), lower latency connection (as low as 1.2 ms) to the Microsoft Azure cloud using Azure ExpressRoute Local. There are also no outbound data traffic costs for data written to Dell Isilon from within Azure.
Google Cloud Platform
ARCHIVE
Best for workloads and data that requires infrequent access. These include use cases like long-term records retention, write-once-read-never, video retention, and web content management.
STANDARD
Powerful solution suitable for application testing and development, off-premises data replication and data resilience, home directories, shared directories for use cases like test/dev diagnostics.
PREMIER
Best for applications that require high amount of read access, including media processing, home directories, application testing and development, container storage, and rendering.
ELITE
All-flash storage tier suitable for high performance workloads like critical stream analytics, real-time inference with machine learning, and time sensitive data warehouse workloads.
TURBO
Best performance for workloads including Big Data analytics and IO-intensive apps like SAP, Oracle and SQL Enterprise.
