Boston-based software provider Attunity announced on Monday that it has introduced its software as a service platform designed to deliver solutions for moving big data in, out and across AWSclouds.

Attunity CloudBeam is currently available for testing wtih AWS customers. The service is built to support disaster recovery and big data analytics.

CloudBeam helps prevent the bottleneck that impacts the quick transfer of data between the data center and the cloud or between cloud environments.

AWS enterprise customers can use Attunity CloudBeam for high-speed upload of ad-hoc files and folders to S3, backup of selected content, or loading data to Amazon Elastic Map Reduce. In February, AWS lowered its pricing on AWS S3 cloud storage.

While AWS is a strategic partner for Attunity, it also partners with  OEM vendors such as Oracle, and has system integrator and consulting partners. Attunity says it looks for partnerships with a variety of organizations, so perhaps a host offering cloud services would be interested in investigating this option.

For AWS, this partnership means customers can load files quicker. CloudBeam loads files up to 100 times faster than Amazon S3 Enhanced Uploader and is designed to move large files and large numbers of files.

With Attunity CloudBeam, S3 storage resources can be defined and used by multiple uploading environments without the need to repeatedly configure S3 access information.

The files “beamed” to S3 are secured by encrypted transfers, Attunity says.

In addition, delivery is guaranteed so it supports recovery from any failure to complete the file upload process.
