OpenDrives, Inc., a leading provider of software-defined data storage and services, today announced the launch of Astraeus, a cloud-native data services platform designed to unify, orchestrate, and secure mission-critical applications across dynamic environments—on-premises, cloud, or hybrid.
First previewed at the 2025 NAB Show, Astraeus is now available through an exclusive Early Adopter Program beginning this month. The platform addresses a pressing reality for enterprises across industries: rising public cloud costs, increasing data silos, and fragmented workflows that hinder performance and scalability.
"Traditional infrastructures—whether cloud or on-prem—too often increase costs, complexity, and performance issues while failing to address the realities of modern data sprawl," said Sean Lee, CEO of OpenDrives. "This isn’t about where to move your data. It’s about what you can do with your data. Outcome-based data services are the answer, and Astraeus is built for that future."
Astraeus is designed with a Kubernetes-based, cluster-first architecture that allows IT teams to:
Deploy entire cloud workflows on-premises without re-architecting.
Manage disparate data stores through a unified namespace.
Scale flexibly while retaining performance and control.
By blending cloud-native resilience with on-premises efficiency, Astraeus helps organizations decide not whether to move to the cloud, but where each workflow performs best—without disruption.
Astraeus delivers services across every stage of the data lifecycle:
High-performance storage management
Orchestration and resource allocation
Cluster and application management
Data optimization, tiering, and governance
Protection, compliance, and retention
These capabilities enable data-heavy industries—including media & entertainment, AEC, healthcare, financial services, and retail—to streamline workflows, reduce costs, and unlock smarter decision-making.
With Astraeus, OpenDrives now offers a comprehensive product lineup:
Atlas – High-performance NAS platform built for low-latency, high-bandwidth workflows.
Astraeus – Cloud-native data services platform breaking down silos and unifying sprawl.
Atlas Cloud Plus – Fully managed service extending Atlas performance into the public cloud.
All three share OpenDrives’ core values: high performance, ease of use, flexibility, extensibility, and cost predictability.
