S3 API, supporting multi-cloud backend data storage, both on-premises
and in the Amazon S3 public cloud as well as other services, including:
Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. Available now for Amazon S3,
Scality RING and Docker and coming soon for other cloud platforms.
■■ Native Format – Data written through Zenko is stored in the native format
of the target storage and can be read directly, without the need to go
through Zenko. Therefore, data written in Azure Blob Store or in Amazon S3
can leverage the respective advanced services of these public clouds.

■■ Clueso metadata search – An Apache Spark-based metadata search
tool for expanded insight to best understand data. It also provides the
ability to subset information based on key attributes. Clueso makes it
easy to interpret petabyte-scale data and manipulate it on any cloud
to discern high-value information from distracting data noise. Data Management

Fast Developer Implementation A  pplication developers looking for design efficiency and rapid implementation will appreciate Zenko’s
many time-saving benefits. Today, applications must be rewritten to support multiple clouds, which reduces productivity and limits
applications that can span multiple clouds. With Zenko, applications are built once and deployed across any private or public cloud service.
