The Challenge
Improve content delivery
to our customers so they
can create and publish
news to multiple
destinations globally
Accelerate development
of new features to help
customers better engage
with their readers
Move from an on premises
solution to a Cloud SaaS
model to better meet the
needs of our customers
Optimize the way we
consume data and pay
for exactly what we need

14. © 2017, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved.
Move Legacy Apps to the cloud
with zero effort, providing
storage over traditional
protocols (NFS, iSCSI MPIO).
Why
EidosMedia
Chose NetApp
for AWS
NetApp ONTAP Cloud HA for highly available and redundant
production workloads distributing nodes over multiple AZ.
Multi-site and Disaster
Recovery enablement.
NetApp ONTAP Cloud for AWS
for increased Dev Ops agility,
with no downtime waiting on
lab resources —to accelerate
new app development and time-
to-market.
Synchronize data between on
premises NetApp clusters
with ONTAP on AWS.
Able to recover from a failure
within seconds without the
need to prewarm EBS
volumes to get baseline
performance.
Take advantage of cost-
effective data management
features such as FlexClone,
Thin Snapshots, etc.
Leverage on space efficienty
features such as compression
and deduplication.
Leveraging AWS cloud for it’s
“instant” provisioning
capabilities.

19. Results – ROI, reduction in cap/opex, etc.
Results
Move workloads
to/from the cloud with
the NetApp Data Fabric
Leverage the elasticity
and speed of the cloud
with ONTAP Cloud
Improved efficiencies for
developers – no more waiting
around days or weeks

Where we go from here
Integrate ONTAP/Trident in «Kubernetes
persistent volume framework» and use
AWS Cloud and on-premises NetApp
storages to create a distributed, and
federated k8s infrastructure
Distribute and
scale data
approaching
multi-cloud
deployments
