Frequently Asked Questions

Zadara is enterprise-class storage, which means we offer features and functions you can’t get from other cloud storage providers. We like to say, we pick up where they leave off, with features like NFS and CIFS, high availability, snapshots, and more.

With Zadara you get much more than just industry-leading enterprise-class storage hardware and software. You get a team of experts 24/7/365 looking out for you. We manage your Zadara storage system as if it were our own, keeping things humming along. We alert you to issues that crop up, and advise you when it looks like there might be trouble ahead, so you can take preventive action. And, we provide proactive, periodic upgrades to your hardware and software at no charge.

You can get Zadara everywhere you would host a legacy storage system. Put Zadara into the data center on your premises, and we’ll manage it for you. Get Zadara in the public cloud, including Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. Ask your managed services provider or private cloud provider to get Zadara and we’ll deploy it at their data center, and manage it for you.

With Zadara you pay only for the storage capacity and features you actually use. Charges are based on hourly rates. You can increase and decrease your usage at any time, and your charges will increase or decrease accordingly. The pricing is the same whether you get Zadara on your premises or in the public cloud.

Cloud computing can offer an extra layer of security. In the event of a disaster leading to data loss in one location, cloud backups can facilitate faster data recovery compared to the time required to repair or replace physical hardware. For enterprises prioritizing efficiency and expansion, cloud technology is an intelligent and practical choice. It’s an important part of Zadara’s cloud service to provide Fully-managed backup solutions which will
ensure business continuity.

The four primary categories of cloud computing are private clouds, public clouds, hybrid clouds, and multi-clouds. Additionally, there are three primary models of cloud computing services: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Enterprise Storage-as-a-Service Deployment Options vary from enterprise STaaS on-premises, at your data center, and in the public cloud.

Virtual Private Storage Arrays provide file and block services that
transparently scale-up and scale-out, to optimize for dynamic
requirements. Scale up by adding compute, memory, or capacity
resources to existing VPSAs. Scale out by adding new VPSAs to
your Enterprise Data Cloud. Either way, all Virtual Private Storage
Arrays eliminate single points-of-failure and are provisioned with
dedicated resources to ensure high availability and predictable
performance while maximizing privacy and security.
