Introduction
By now, most people, especially those in the position to shop for IT products and services, are aware of the “aaS” or “as a Service” offerings. Currently, you can get a wide range of aaS offerings, including infrastructure, platform, application, storage, disaster recovery, database, monitoring, communications, and in case you can’t narrow it down: XaaS or “Everything as a Service” (also sometimes called “Anything as a Service”). To date there is no Kitchen Sink as a Service, but stay tuned. Since it’s new to the industry, many people wonder how On-Premise Storage-as-a-Service works.
It hasn’t been that long, really, since most companies dealt mostly with data that could be measured in gigabytes. Today, businesses are commonly dealing with terabytes and petabytes – and larger companies are working with much more. Traditional storage architectures often were not designed to deal with these quantities of data, and many businesses are already looking beyond — to the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), in which exabytes of data aren’t uncommon at all. Many companies are looking for an alternative, innovative storage solution that addresses these enormous capacities and meets their cost goals. The answer is object storage.
If you’ve paid any attention to the IT blogs, news magazines, and tech journals, you’ve likely noticed the trend toward everything being ‘software defined’. You’ve probably heard of software-defined data centers, software-defined networking, and more. Software-defined storage marks a revolutionary new way of building and managing storage — one which costs less, yet is more agile, more reliable, and better supports multi-tenancy. So, what are the differences between software-defined storage and traditional SAN and NAS?
Does Zadara have the ability to connect to multiple VPCs at AWS?
Imagine a completely universal storage solution – any location, any data type, and any protocol. That is what Zadara Storage is bringing you this year at Cloud Expo London. What’s unique about Zadara is that it’s the same storage solution whether you are in the cloud, on-premise or a hybrid model – combining the two. Zadara’s VPSA provides the flexibility and scalability of the cloud – even on premise.
Leadership is often the result of great partnerships. Aligning companies to create industry-leading solutions is the basis of many great market success stories. Today, Zadara Storage is proud to join the Intel® Storage Builders program. The Intel Storage Builders Program provides an open, collaborative environment for true storage innovation and advancement. The program brings together forward-looking companies, a broad Intel ecosystem, key foundational technologies, and strategic resources to empower members to move storage forward.
