Cloudian’s HyperStore object storage platform is now integrated to work with Microsoft SQL Server 2022, a relational database management system designed to support a wide variety of transaction processing, business intelligence and analytics applications.
Cloudian participated in Microsoft’s Early Adopter Program and after conducting validation testing to ensure seamless integration with SQL Server, the company is part of the newly announced Microsoft SQL Server public preview. Microsoft SQL Server 2022 customers can take advantage of the public cloud-like scalability and flexibility that Cloudian offers following the new integration.

According to Jon Toor, chief marketing officer at Cloudian, the announcement highlights Cloudian’s leadership in hybrid cloud data management.
"We were honoured that Microsoft invited us to participate in its Early Adopter Program and now look forward to helping more customers leverage the combined solution to extract greater value and insights from their on-prem data."
Cloudian’s HyperStore solution provides a foundation featuring fully native S3 compatibility, limitless scalability and security which includes data immutability for protection against ransomware.

Data professionals can expect support for their testing of diverse models in parallel on multi-structured data sets, including machine learning.
Cloudian’s HyperStore object storage was architected from the start to provide a seamless, cloud-like experience in organisations’ own data centres, according to Asad Khan, director of program management, Azure Database Services at Microsoft, which, he notes, provides a robust storage solution for SQL Server 2022 users.
"Our customers have vast data stores on-premises, and they want a storage infrastructure that enables them to run their SQL analytics applications with the same ease and flexibility they would in Microsoft Azure," Khan said.
