Cloud-based infrastructure is rapidly becoming the backbone of modern enterprise IT, driven by its scalable, pay-as-you-go model. This whitepaper delves into how enterprise-grade storage solutions can be integrated into cloud environments to significantly reduce OPEX and CAPEX. It also outlines the architectural complexities of integrating storage systems with popular cloud platforms like OpenStack and explores viable strategies for both block and object storage deployment. Through technical analysis and real-world use cases, the paper demonstrates how cloud integration opens up new revenue opportunities for storage vendors.
