Sanbolic and Zadara Storage Join Together

Sanbolic, Inc. and Zadara Storage, Inc. have entered into a strategic agreement under which they will join together to deliver enterprise storage with HA application clustering, via public cloud providers Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Rackspace Hosting.

The new Sanbolic and Zadara offering will enable customers to leverage Zadara’s Virtual Private Storage Array (VPSA) service and Sanbolic’s Melio data management software together with the products/services provided by the world’s foremost public cloud providers, in order to extend the availability, scalability, performance, protection and management efficiency of business critical applications and data, while dramatically increasing flexibility and reducing the TCO.

"Zadara’s innovative VPSA service provides customers with the same capabilities, performance and availability of on-premise, enterprise SAN/NAS arrays, without the necessity of expensive upfront capital or long-term commitment," said Nelson Nahum, CEO and co-founder, Zadara Storage. "By combining Zadara storage with Sanbolic data management software, together with the products and services provided by the biggest names in public cloud, customers can now confidently move their business critical applications such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint, Windows file-/web-serving, analytics and VDI into the public cloud and enjoy unmatched scalability, availability, performance and ease-of-management, as well as unmatched data protection, privacy and security – at an absolutely unbeatable entry price."

"The advantages of being able to span business critical applications from on-premise data centers to a public cloud are impossible to ignore, starting with huge efficiency increases and significant cost decreases – to dramatic enhancements in scalability, availability, performance, and disaster recoverability/data protection," said Momchil ‘Memo’ Michailov, CEO and co-founder, Sanbolic. "Now, business organizations can easily and confidently ‘plug into’ these benefits when they leverage the combined Sanbolic and Zadara offering, and in doing so completely level the playing field and then, re-dedicate the valuable expertise of their IT professionals to activities that directly contribute to the bottom-line, speed time-to-market and increase competitive advantage."

In related news, Sanbolic recently announced Melio AppCluster support for public clouds. AppCluster, a Microsoft SQL Server specific module within its Melio software, extends the agility, HA, and scalability of SQL Server workloads across physical, virtualized, and now – both private and public cloud environments. With the addition of public cloud support, customers are now able to minimize the cost and complexity of managing SQL Server clusters, while extending the economics of public cloud to one of the most widely deployed database server and information platforms in the world.
