Zadara Enterprise Storage as a Service Available Throughout AsiaPac

Zadara Storage, Inc., provider of enterprise private cloud storage by the hour, continues to expand its presence around the world and announced that its Virtual Private Storage Array (VPSA) storage as a service (STaaS) is available in Singapore thanks to Zadara’s relationship with Vivavo, Inc., an IaaS provider which owns dedicated cloud infrastructures in Singapore, Hong Kong and other major cities in China, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Through the relationship, Vivavo will offer its customers the ability to buy Zadara’s private block and file SAN and NAS services at hourly rates for either primary (for applications) or secondary (for repository) storage, without long-term leases or commitments, and with the flexibility and affordability of the cloud.

Vivavo users can now access enterprise storage features including clustering, NFS and CIFS support, and high QoS levels as demanded by databases and other high IO/s and throughput applications.

For existing Zadara customers in other regions of the world, the addition of Vivavo means that Singapore becomes an available replication location if needed. No matter where they are in the world, customers are a reasonable replication distance from a Zadara data centre – so that at the push of a button one can replicate to many other places on the planet.

Additional Vivavo locations offering Zadara’s Storage as a Service will be announced in the coming weeks.

“We believe Zadara will enhance our service offerings and further differentiate ourselves as the regional DR and storage cloud’s leading provider,” said Francis Au, CEO, Vivavo. “Zadara’s large-volume, sharable, elastic, by-the hour, enterprise storage solution helps us satisfy an even more diverse set of storage needs for our customers and, together, we are helping advance the public cloud market by enabling enterprise-grade tiered storage strategies in the cloud.“

Zadara’s technology works by providing a storage service that customers assemble like building blocks – choosing the drives and controllers they need, and provisioning them online in minutes them from a dedicated administration console. It deliversstorage by placing dedicated, flexibly deployed hardware on premises at Vivavo’s data centres adjacent to Vivavo’s compute resources, so cloud-delivered performance remains excellent, even for massive data volumes.

Vivavo customers receive one unified bill for storage and compute resources, and can leverage Zadara’s capability of providing dedicated disks, virtual controllers, and separated networking to achieve single tenant, predictable performance at a multitenant price. Zadara storage at Vivavo is priced at the present equivalent of about $0.12/GB per month, billed by the hour. 

“Vivavo shares Zadara’s commitment to helping its customer extract the best from both traditional and cloud storage, flexibly and without compromise,” said Nelson Nahum, CEO, Zadara Storage. “As enterprises around the globe embrace ‘as a Service’ approaches, we are committed to extending our ecosystem to become the ubiquitous platform for enterprise cloud storage, with data centres available everywhere in the world. We’re already available throughout the US, Europe and Japan, and now through our relationship with Vivavo, we at Zadara have further expanded our footprint in the AsiaPac region.“
