Alluxio and AI/ML announced the integration of NetApp StorageGRID, software-defined scalable object storage for distributed data with security and disaster recovery, with Alluxio's Data Orchestration Platform that simplifies the delivery of data to a wide variety of data-driven applications. The combined solution helps enterprises accelerate adoption of the cloud and optimize their resource spend for a modern data platform ready for enormous scale. Large enterprises have a myriad of data-driven applications with complex dependencies and data platforms which span multiple regions across a private, public, hybrid or multi-cloud.

The joint solution addresses two key aspects for such a platform: storing data and serving data across geographical regions. A wide range of use cases across industries benefit from the joint solution with the agility needed to cater to evolving requirements, avoiding data silos across business units and optimizing storage cost while maximizing performance.
