Helping Customers Take Advantage of Disaster Recovery, Data Protection and Advanced Data Management Features in the Public Cloud
Zadara’s Virtual Private Storage Array™ (VPSA™) Enterprise Suite, our popular bundle of snapshots, clones, remote replication and data encryption features, is now available at no extra charge, so customers can take even more advantage of advanced data protection and management features and enjoy continued safe and sound data storage with Zadara Storage NAS and SAN in the cloud solutions.
VPSA Enterprise Suite
Zadara’s VPSA Enterprise Suite adds support for features formerly only available from costly, dedicated, on-premise hardware including low-impact snapshots with read/write clones, thin provisioning and remote asynchronous replication. With these features, storage administrators enjoy a much higher degree of granular control with a wider range of high-availability, low-latency applications with greater elasticity, including:
- Expansive data protection options including snapshots, clones and remote mirrors for enhanced business continuity, including bi-directional replication.
- Unlimited, low-impact snapshots for quick and easy data protection and recovery, delivering 1-minute Return Point Objective (RPO)
- Customized snapshot creation policies, allowing users to create data protection policies tailored to their specific business requirements.
- Remote mirroring for disaster recovery and multi-geography collaboration.
-
Unlimited, zero-capacity, writable cloning of DR volumes using any point-in-time snapshot, e.g., for test and development.
- Authenticated and encrypted data transfer, with data-at-rest and in-flight encryption. (See our security brief outlining data protection and privacy features here)
Our global footprint, now at ten data center locations and including five AWS regions, allows customers to assemble their ideal storage configuration, including their disaster recovery strategy, like building blocks, and provision and change them online in minutes – managing them from a private management console and to take advantage of flexibility and elasticity with by-the-our billing.
Snapshot Based Mirroring
Data Replication in the Cloud
For smaller enterprises and businesses, the cloud enables to implement a disaster recovery plan that would have not been otherwise possible. The ability to replicate business data to a secondary off-site location—without building and managing an additional IT data center and infrastructure—is a great cost- and management effort saving benefit.
However, replication in the cloud is an entirely different task than on-premise solutions – Zadara’s vp of engineering explains both key challenges and benefits of cloud data management in this article.
