Lifeboat to Distribute Zadara Storage

Lifeboat Distribution, Inc., a subsidiary of Wayside Technology Group, Inc., announced a distribution agreement with Zadara Storage, Inc.

The partnership authorizes Lifeboat to distribute Zadara’s storage-as-a-service offerings. Zadara provides enterprise NAS and SAN service with NFS, CIFS/AD and iSCSI interfaces, dual HA controllers, dedicated drives and enterprise storage features – including snapshots, replication, thin provisioning, encryption. Data is stored on dedicated hardware for increased privacy and QoS, and protected with in-flight and at-rest encryption, including user-managed keys.

With Zadara, users get more than enterprise storage. It comes with 24/7/365 live support, proactive system management, and periodic non-disruptive hardware upgrades included. That’s why the company can offer a 100% uptime guarantee.

“Enterprise storage can be complex and expensive,” said Dale Foster, executive VP, Lifeboat. “Zadara offers a simplified storage and management experience for enterprises of all types and sizes.“

“We chose to partner with Lifeboat because of their data center expertise, unique focus on emerging technologies and exceptional customer service,” noted Roland Serna, VP of channels and alliances, Zadara. “These qualities will help us accelerate the execution of our channel strategy, making Lifeboat a perfect distribution partner for Zadara.“
