Morro Data Launches CloudNAS With Backblaze and CloudNAS Business

Partnership with Backblaze's B2for CloudNAS, starting at $10/month users, starting at $89/month for CloudNAS Business

Morro Data, Inc. announced two storage service offerings that eliminate the need for local NAS by delivering the benefits of cloud storage with the performance and reliability of local NAS at a price point that makes sense.


Named CloudNAS and CloudNAS Business, these solutions deliver the best of both worlds, saving users hours of productivity every week, while simultaneously reducing operating costs by as much as 80%.

These services span the needs of individual prosumers, Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) power users, and SMBs. Regardless of the type of user, the company eliminates maintenance of local storage while delivering infinite capacity and plug-n-play setup, as well as enterprise storage features with the on-demand file performance of an on-premise NAS system. The company also allows to bring cost-effective cloud storage solution, as the solutions work with common cloud storage options.

The obvious advantages of cloud-based storage and object storage have been out of reach for many, as the cost of these services combined with severe performance limitations have made them unsuitable for anything other than backup,” said Paul Tien, founder and CEO, Morro, as well as former founder of Infrant and its ReadyNAS solutions. “CloudNAS addresses each of these two key issues – cost and performance – making cloud storage attractive as a primary storage option. Solving this problem was not an easy one, but after years of development I’m proud to say our team has cracked the code on combining NAS and enterprise cloud storage.

This announcement marks the availability of two essential company’s services.

They include:

  • CloudNAS with Backblaze – Created in partnership with cloud-based storage provider Backblaze, Inc.‘s B2 service, CloudNAS with Backblaze gives prosumers and SMBs an plug-n-play solution that allows them to treat their cloud storage as their primary storage solution. Starting at $10 per month users get the business-class storage features and cost-effectiveness of B2, delivered with local NAS performance and efficiency. Similar to desktop NAS revolutionizing SMB and prosumer storage ten years ago, CloudNAS is the new beset way to keep data safe in the cloud.

    We are very excited to work with Morro Data as they leverage our own ground-breaking cloud storage service to serve a new class of users,” said Gleb Budman, CEO, Backblaze, Inc. “Their CloudNAS solution is easy to set up and manage and when combined with our cost-effective B2 Cloud Storage service, you’ve got a real winner.

  • CloudNAS Business – This service is designed to augment businesses with major cloud storage accounts with Amazon S3 and B2, although the company is adding more large-scale cloud service providers in the coming months. Starting at $89 per month, the firm will deliver enterprise storage services (encryption, compression, instant data recovery, retention policies, etc.) and a global file system for businesses with multiple sites around the world, but delivering local performance and file availability. CloudNAS Business delivers cloud storage advantages with centralized file management, a single namespace, and centralized device management spanning multiple locations, all available with the industry’s easiest setup and management.

How Morro Data Works
At the heart of every Morro Data service is the Morro Data CacheDrive cloud storage gateway, which was developed in conjunction with a proprietary and global file system designed to handle synching of files among multiple CacheDrives. Starting at $499, the gateway is used to speed up local file transfers and to act as a buffer to sync with the cloud. This delivers much higher file transfer performance, reduces the need for Internet bandwidth, and saves disk space on the users’ PCs. Each CacheDrive starts with a large 1TB cache and ranges up to 8TB, which keeps most frequently used files in the cache for fast access and for group sharing, but still enables users to see all files in the cloud.

About Morro Data
Morro Data is storage for SMBs with simple, fast, affordable, enterprise cloud storage and accelerated file distribution. The  service features CacheDrive, a cloud storage gateway, and Morro Storage, built on Amazon S3. Files are stored in the cloud, cached in the gateway and synced globally. The company was founded by Paul Tien (founder of ReadyNAS, acquired by Netgear and his core team.
