Enterprise Storage as a Service (STaaS) solutions are helping solve some of IT’s biggest challenges, in the cloud and on-premises.
Enterprise storage is becoming a more and more complex topic. The exponential growth of data is a challenge for organizations of all sizes. Users demand performance that delivers instant experiences. Data is being stored in multiple locations and formats. And the ensuing costs of storage needs are often outpacing the rest of IT resource costs in enterprise environments.
More than ever, businesses need to do more with less, and they need to do so with the ability to scale up and scale out when and where needed. They need to be able to change direction and even shrink their infrastructure according to their business needs (and not the other way around). And they need to be able to move their data to where they need it – be it behind their own firewall or across providers anywhere in the world.
The traditional way in which storage has been deployed over the last few decades has been to lock customers into expensive systems, long-term cycles and rigid architectures that require over-provisioning and workload prediction in an unpredictable market.
STaaS to the Rescue
Software-Defined Storage (SDS) architectures and as-a-Service models are enabling a great shift to new storage and OpEx spending models.
Solutions like the Zadara Storage Cloud and Virtual Private Storage Array (VPSA) are helping IT take advantage of pay-as-you go, flexible storage to meet changing business and application needs, without compromising on performance or security and at lower costs – both on-premises and in the cloud.
