Codero Launched On-Demand NAS and SAN Storage Options

Codero
Hosting, a provider of dedicated, managed, and cloud hosting
services, unveiled its on-demand
NAS and IP-based SAN offerings.

The services and their price points
serve customers’ needs and provide high performance storage options.
Promotional pricing of the new NAS and SAN services starts at
4c/GB. Separately, the company is
also offering free backups on all of its Smart Servers line.

"We continuously listen to our
customers to help gauge where we need to expand our products and
services, and our customers asked for more cost effective, scalable
storage and recovery options," said Chandler Vaughn, SVP of development at Codero. "Any organization that needs a
server needs a storage and backup solution; it’s precarious to have
one without the others. Our new offerings unequivocally meet customer
demands with affordable price points that disrupt the industry –
comparable competitive offerings are 10 times more expensive than our
new offerings."

NAS is specifically designed to be a
filer and is great for backups, file archiving, and storage of
web-head content. SAN was built for block storage so that there are
volumes to partition and mount.

The on-demand storage solutions
include the following features:

• Optimized for storage –
  The dedicated solutions are optimized for storage needs.

• Fully managed – Codero
  handles all management of the ‘no touch’ storage.

• Easy set-up – Map a drive (on
  Windows) or mount a directory over NFS (on Linux) for heterogeneous
  access to files.

• Easy to use – Simultaneously
  share files with multiple servers including virtual servers.

• Local appearance – Block storage
  appears as local drives, allowing applications such as databases to
  take advantage of larger, faster storage; no complicated network
  sharing or application configuration required.

Codero developed the solutions to serve
Windows and Linux customers in need of scale-out storage. Candidates for NAS and SAN storage are organizations that are
comfortable with network-bound performance and do not need HBAs. The
solutions are for those customers needing storage for media,
backups, files or additional storage for virtualization.
