VOLUME SHARING, FLEXIBILITY, PERFORMANCE & COST:
OUR JOURNEY TO ZADARA STORAGE

SIGNATURE TECH STUDIOS
Robert ‘Bubba’ Hines

VP of Solving Big Problems

At Signature Tech Studios we build innovative software solutions that help reprographers focus on the bottom line by making management simple, keeping costs low and working with real people to provide direct, meaningful support.

Hosting our customers’ storage on the public cloud, we found the cloud experience to be the exact opposite – cumbersome, inflexible, and lacking efficient support.

We first arrived at Zadara Storage Virtual Private Storage Arrays (VPSA) service to solve our most important business case need: sharing volumes. NFS is a required element in today’s clouds, and sharing is a critical need. It increases our data’s H/A and reduces the requirement for multiple copies of the same data. We also found the dedicated nature of VPSA provided us a consistent performance with no noisy neighbors. Performance is a key concern for us and our customers’ experience, and VPSA service has proved more performant than other solutions.

Two vital elements beyond storage features, are price and flexibility. Cost is a hard metric, but Zadara provides a faster, more flexible solution, at a lower price point than anyone else. This flexibility is not just about allowing us to tune, attach and detach storage devices according to need, but also in working with its team. Real people answer the phone at Zadara Storage and provide 1:1 support for customers, including engineering support to help solve our pain points. Zadara Storage has built an all-around storage solution for real business challenges and enterprise needs, that leapfrogs ahead of cloud limitations and shortcomings.
