Buurst Enhanced SoftNAS Sets New Benchmark in HA Cloud Storage with Real-World Customer Results

Buurst Inc. announced advancements in its product, SoftNAS, delivering enterprise-grade cloud NAS with HA, performance-based pricing, and cross-cloud flexibility.

The enhancements have already demonstrated measurable impact during customer deployments across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), AWS, and Microsoft Azure.

Organizations using SoftNAS are reporting up to 40% reduction in storage costs compared to capacity-based pricing models, while maintaining 99.999% uptime for mission-critical workloads. SoftNAS ensures uninterrupted operations through automatic failover across availability zones and built-in replication, making it a resilient, cost-effective alternative to native cloud storage solutions.

SoftNAS delivers block- and file-level storage through NFS, CIFS/SMB, and iSCSI protocols, with integrated replication, compression, and deduplication. What sets SoftNAS apart is its performance-based pricing model — customers pay for the throughput and IOs they need, not the raw capacity they may never use.

Designed by Experts, Validated by Customers
Developed by a team of seasoned engineers with decades of experience in enterprise storage and cloud infrastructure, SoftNAS is engineered for demanding workloads — from media archives and backup repositories to retail analytics and edge databases.

“This is not just another cloud-native storage solution,” said Andy Bowden, head, product and marketing, Buurst. “We built SoftNAS to solve the real challenges our customers face every day — like achieving HA across availability zones on Oracle, avoiding vendor lock-in, and simplifying multi-cloud DR strategies.”
