Unlocking access to cloud services
Combining cloud storage and on-prem infrastructure into a single, central name space is essential to unlocking access to cloud services no matter where data resides. This allows users to access data and storage across on-prem and cloud seamlessly and without disruption. In fact, ‘universal access’ to data makes data available from one or multiple locations, meaning on-prem and cloud applications can use 
the same data without negatively impacting performance. This allows organizations to extract more value from their data by supporting constant movement of data and applications across clouds and on-prem systems.
Automating data placement
Centralizing data management can also help organizations ensure that the right data is placed where and when it’s needed for the most effective, agile and productive workflows. Modern distributed multi-cloud data management tools orchestrate data movement across multiple clouds and multiple sites to ensure that high-performance hardware, software and services are available for critical applications, while less frequently used data resides on a lower cost tier of storage. Furthermore, organizations that integrate on-prem data and cloud services using lifecycle rules that determine where objects are stored and the length of time they are stored, will find that their workflows are more responsive, competitive and cost effective.
