Cloudreach Expands Portfolio with Zadara Enterprise Storage-as-a-Service Offering


(AWS Summit) - Zadara Storage, the provider of enterprise-class storage-as-a-service (STaaS), and Cloudreach, the global enterprise-focused cloud broker, today announced that Zadara's award-winning Virtual Private Storage Array (VPSA) platform is now available through Cloudreach's Cloud Platform offering.

Responding to market demand for storage solutions that go beyond simple volume services to provide all of the enterprise-class features on which users of traditional storage have come to rely, yet still enable Cloud economics, flexibility, and scalability, Cloudreach has added Zadara Storage to their Cloud Platform portfolio.

"As a cloud broker, it is important for us to bring innovative and cloud-ready solutions to the market," said Cloudreach's co-founder and director Pontus Noren. "Zadara Storage was an easy choice for us because they bring enterprise features such as block (SAN) and file (NAS) support, clusters, SSD, and encryption, as well as advanced high-availability features such as snapshots, clones, and remote replication - all with a pure cloud business model. The Zadara platform complements the existing solutions in our Cloud Platform."



"We are very excited to be working with Cloudreach," said Nelson Nahum, Chief Executive Officer of Zadara Storage. "Not only does Cloudreach expand our presence worldwide, but as an enterprise-level, 'born-in-the-cloud' cloud broker, they uniquely understand the client environment and how best to apply our technology in conjunction with major cloud compute platforms to bring value to the customer."

"The market is clearly shifting from an older model of CapEx-based storage array purchases toward a more flexible, efficient, and economical as-a-service model," said Simon Robinson, research vice president of storage at 451 Research (News - Alert). "This announcement by Zadara Storage and Cloudreach is another validation of the customer demand for enterprise-class storage as a service."
