VPSA™ Base Edition pricing – nearing $0.10/GB/month
1. Your choice of Zadara Engine
Your engine combined with your Drive selection defines your QoS IOPS and Throughput through memory and processing. You can choose from four engine levels: Baby, Basic, Boost, and Blazing.
2. Quantity and type of drives
To suit high-performance as well as repository storage needs, each location offers a selection of SSD and spindle drive types, including disks up to 3,000GB and a range of RPM speeds. Each drive type is priced differently. As you get ready to create your VPSA you must be aware that the drives will be configured later in the process using RAID 1 (2 drives or more in groups of 2) or RAID 5 (3,4 or 5 drives in a group)
VPSA™ overall pricing begins at $0.79/hour, with a configuration of a Baby engine (1 CPU and 4GB RAM) and a three dedicated SSD. As VPSA™ is an elastic solution, you can tune your performance (and price) up, or down, according to need. There are no commitments, and you can terminate your VPSA™ at any time.
VPSA™ Enterprise Suite Pricing – $0.49/hour
The VPSA™ Enterprise Suite is an added set of Enterprise data management features that customers can deploy on top of VPSA™ Base Edition.
The Suite includes 4 major features for business continuity and disaster recovery:
- Encryption (of data-at-rest and data-in-flight)
- Policy driven, low-impact snapshots (unlimited number of instantly-available zero-capacity ReadWrite snapshots)
- Zero-capacity clones
- Asynchronous remote replication (across regions and cloud providers)
As our VPSA™ is a single solution available at multiple locations, you can seamlessly replicate across multiple cloud providers, regions or colocation facilities.
The VPSA™ Enterprise Suite is priced at $0.49/hour, and is a fixed fee charged in addition to your VPSA™ Base Edition costs, equalling $1.28/hour for entry Enterprise Suite.
