Media workflows leverage multiple sites and storage types. The storage types run the gambit: high-performance on-premises PowerScale file storage, private object Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS), public cloud, and even direct attached workstation storage. CloudSoda provides a modern, cloud-native, and on-premises aware data orchestration tool called SoDA. SoDA gives media companies the power to orchestrate sophisticated data moves through a single pane of glass.
SoDA is data movement as a service. A cloud console connects to local agents to perform WAN/LAN optimized data moves. Transfers are configured with a policy-based engine for copies, moves, and syncs of file and object data.
This paper introduces SoDA workflows and how these workflows integrate with PowerScale file storage and ECS object storage. SoDA concepts such as storage targets, accessors, and agents are described in detail.
