Announcing 3TB Repository Storage Drives at AWS

Zadara™ Storage offers 3TB Repository Storage drives for only $0.18/hour, approaching $0.10/GB/month for complete VPSA, supporting iSCSI/NFS protocol, sharing, HA and limitless volumes at AWS US-East and US-West.

Zadara Storage Virtual Private Storage Arrays™ (VPSA™) offer the most advanced cloud block storage and cloud NAS in the public cloud today. The latest addition of 3TB SATA Repository Storage drives provide an efficient, feature-rich solution that allows customers to scale to hundreds of TBs per single VPSA.

Nearing $0.10/GB/month, VPSA offer a cost competitive scaling solution with unrivaled Enterprise-class storage features such as very large volumes (100s of TBs), encryption, HA, DR mirroring and asynchronous replication, clustering, sharing and full tuning options and control. As VPSA support both iSCSI and NFS protocols, customers can deploy existing workloads without needing to re-architect their applications.  

Comparing VPSA to Amazon EBS and Amazon S3
VPSA offer several advantages over existing Amazon Web Services solutions such as EBS or S3 storage, particularly as the needs of repository data require a scalable, high-capacity solution, that provides low latency and high availability.
Some of VPSA advantages vs. AWS EBS services for repository storage include:

 

  • Volume size –  Today, EBS is limited to 2TB. With VPSA, volumes can be well over 100 TB’s and can be grown on the fly.
  • Encryption, including both data-at-rest, and data-in-flight with user controlled encryption key
  • Support both iSCSI and NFS
  • Shared storage clustering for true High Availability
  • Dedicated disk drives, CPU cores, memory and bandwidth
  • SSD caching built in
  • Instant snapshots, without performance impact
  • Asynchronous replication and remote mirroring

 

 

 

When comparing VPSA and AWS S3 services, VPSA advantages include:

 

  • 10x lower latency, much higher bandwidth
  • Ability to mount as NFS or iSCSI
  • Ability to share volumes between EC2 servers, eliminating the need for an additional file system in the middle
  • Encryption, including both data-at-rest, and data-in-flight with user controlled encryption key
  • SSD caching built in
  • Instant snapshots, without performance impact
  • Asynchronous replication and remote mirroring
  • Ideal for web applications that need to retrieve files at high performance.
  • Ideal for applications that needs big repositories of storage but do not support S3 APIs
