Hybrid Cloud Storage is an enterprise-level storage array that integrates with the Alibaba Cloud storage gateway. You can use and manage cloud storage resources (blocks, files, and objects) just as you would with local storage. Cloud Cache, Cloud Sync, Cloud Tiering, and Cloud Backup all make local storage migrate to the cloud seamlessly. HCSA services provide a cost-effective, efficient and easy-to-manage hybrid cloud storage solution.

Diverse Application Scenarios
How it works
An Extension to Local Storage
Seamlessly migrate to the cloud
You do not need to update existing architecture or modify code. Use HCSA as traditional storage arrays, with simple configurations. The low-cost storage space allows for unlimited scalability of cloud resources.
-
Low Costs
Using existing devices and cloud end Object Storage Service (OSS) price advantages to build a storage space that can be easily expandable.
-
Excellent Experience
The same read/write experience as that of local disks, without being adversely affected by the network connectivity. Data is automatically distributed between the cloud and the local devices.
-
Low Requirements
Compatible with local storage service protocols, Hybrid Cloud Storage Array (HCSA) can be used immediately after simple configurations without changing any application code.
Backup Data to the Cloud
High-performance off-site disaster recovery solutions
HCSA builds an off-site disaster recovery solution based on a worldwide network of IDCs of Alibaba Cloud.
-
Low Costs
No need to invest in an off-site physical backup data centers.
-
Cost-effective
Full OSS data lifecycle management is available. You can switch between OSS-Standard, OSS-IA, and OSS-Archive freely.
-
Easy to Expand
Using ECS and cloud-based NAS, HCSA allows you to have a disaster recovery system on the cloud quickly.
