Zadara Cloud Block Storage Available for MongoDB Users

Zadara
Storage
Inc.
announced their storage industry expansion: Zadara’s cloud block
storage and solutions suite is available to MongoDB
users
in public clouds.

It allows MongoDB users to take advantage of the cloud
while gaining reliability, control, and security for off-premise
instances. Administrators, developers, and IT professionals can
maintain command of their data, using controls.

With the
availability of the Zadara solution suite and cloud block storage,
MongoDB users can soon have unlimited, zero-impact snapshots –
creating recovery points without performance degradation; consistency
groups for snapshots across volumes – creating synchronized snapshots
of multiple volumes with a single command; and increased performance
and speed by individually optimizing the performance of each volume
(e.g., setting up a sequential-write optimized volume for crash
recovery logs).

"Databases
are dependent on storage for performance, and MongoDB is no
different,"
says Nelson Nahum, CEO and co-founder of Zadara Storage. "What
Zadara provides MongoDB users is the ability to achieve higher levels
of performance, reliability and security than previously available in
a public cloud environment."

"Zadara
Storage and its Virtual Private Storage Arrays address three common
impediments to the adoption of public cloud for deployment of
critical applications: security, performance, and support for block
storage, etc.,"
asserts Lori MacVittie, principal analyst at Rishidot, Cloud Analyst
Group. "In
particular, the support for block storage enables… database systems
to be deployed in the cloud, clearing a significant hurdle for
organizations attempting to migrate applications dependent on those
databases."

The software-only
solution for cloud block storage paves the way for the next
generation of SaaS. The cloud is MongoDB ready for applications
with Zadara’s Cloud Block Storage.

Until
December 31st Zadara is offering free trials and a discounted SSD
bundle for MongoDB customers
on the cloud of their choice.
