Avere’s virtual NAS solution is designed for easy installation and management and offers users with multi-protocol file access, such as NFS and SMB, as well as clusters to provide high availability, scalable performance and capacity. Avere adds that enterprises will be able to deploy thousands of Azure HPC instances on-demand within minutes, while crunching data via low latency and no data migration. As such, businesses will be able to easily take advantage of hyper-converged infrastructure without a massive budget.

Avere believes that organizations will be able to gain a significant business advantage when they leverage this flexible, enterprise-grade cloud computing platform into their own IT infrastructure.
