XenData, the global provider of high capacity data storage solutions, launches its CX-10 Appliance, which can manage a single hybrid file system across two storage tiers: 10 TB of on-premises RAID and unlimited Microsoft Azure blob storage. The appliance allows existing file-based applications to use cloud storage without the need for modification. The CX-10 has highly configurable RAID retention policies that determine which files are written to the cloud, local RAID, or both allowing users to set policy rules for different file types and folders.
