Three Takeaways from 451 Research Report on Zadara & Enterprise Storage as a Service

451 Research: Zadara Momentum

Recently, Simon Robinson from 451 Research wrote an update about us. I hope you take the time to read it. It’s a thoughtful and considered view, and as you’ve come to expect from 451, balanced to show both the good and the not-so-good.

In case you are in a hurry, I wanted to paraphrase a few key points from his review:

  1. Zadara’s pure Enterprise Storage as a Service (STaaS) model is “distinctive and unusual.”
    In a world where monolithic storage ruled and dictated how storage is consumed for decades, the concept of having complete agility, elasticity and flexibility in one’s own data center requires to rethink storage (and required us to re-architect it) .
  2. The uptake of our OPaaS (On-Premise as a Service) offering has been strong, less than a year after launch.We knew we were on to something with OPaaS, because this was what our customers asked for: control of their data on-premises with all the agility and flexibility of the cloud. Most importantly: our customers wanted to do away with the headache of storage array management and long-term commitments.
  3. Recent moves by both AWS and NetApp have been validating the need for the services we have been providing (both on-premises and in the cloud), and creating business opportunities through greater awareness.

Let’s wrap up with a direct quote: “[Zadara] remains an intriguing prospect for more forward ­looking IT departments.”
