Many of you have been asking about it, and now it's here! Red Hat's Virtual Storage Appliance for Amazon Web Services is here. This gives your legacy apps a gateway to the AWS cloud. The long and short of it:

Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance for AWS features both synchronous and asynchronous file replication, assuring data availability across AWS Availability Zones. Synchronous replication provides users with redundancy and protection within a single datacenter or multiple datacenters and availability zones in a region, while asynchronous geo-replication offers data availability across all AWS Regions. Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance is POSIX compliant meaning that no application modifications are required for data access in the cloud.
