Zadara Storage

Zadara Storage is a cloud-based enterprise data storage provider that delivers storage-as-a-service for block, file, and object workloads in public cloud, private cloud, and colocation environments.

• Storage-as-a-service offerings for block, file, and object workloads (data storage)
• On-demand, consumption-based infrastructure deployed in public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises (on-prem) locations (cloud infrastructure)
• Multi-tenant, virtual private storage arrays with user-controlled provisioning and performance settings (data storage)
• Managed storage services with monitoring, operations, and support included (managed services)
• Support for common enterprise applications, databases, and cloud-native workloads (enterprise IT)

More About Zadara Storage

Zadara Storage provides enterprise storage-as-a-service, offering elastic block, file, and object storage that can be consumed on demand and paid for based on usage. The company positions its services as an alternative to traditional Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) storage arrays, allowing enterprises to deploy storage resources in public cloud regions, private data centers, or colocation facilities while keeping a utility-style billing model. This approach targets organizations that want cloud-like consumption for storage infrastructure while retaining control over data location, performance profiles, and operational policies.

The core platform is based around virtual private storage arrays (data storage), which are logically isolated environments carved out of shared hardware infrastructure. Each virtual array can be configured by the customer with dedicated compute, cache, and storage resources, and can support multiple storage protocols. Zadara Storage commonly supports Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) and Fibre Channel (FC) for block storage, NFS and Server Message Block (SMB) for file storage, and S3-compatible object interfaces (data storage), enabling integration with a broad range of enterprise applications, virtualized environments, and cloud-native services. Customers can scale capacity and performance by adjusting the virtual array configuration rather than procuring new hardware.

In enterprise environments, Zadara Storage is used for primary storage, backup and recovery repositories, Disaster Recovery (DR) targets, and hybrid cloud data tiers. Because the platform is deployed in both public cloud regions and on-prem locations, organizations can place storage near compute resources in different environments and support data mobility across them. This supports scenarios such as lifting and shifting applications to the cloud while keeping storage under consistent operational control, or extending on-prem environments with cloud-adjacent storage for burst workloads.

The service is delivered as a fully managed offering (managed services), where Zadara is responsible for hardware lifecycle, capacity expansion, monitoring, and incident response, while customers manage logical storage constructs such as volumes, shares, snapshots, and replication. Features typically associated with enterprise storage, such as data encryption, snapshots, cloning, replication, and multi-zone deployment options, are exposed through a management console and APIs for integration with automation frameworks and DevOps workflows.

Within an enterprise IT taxonomy, Zadara Storage fits primarily into data storage and cloud infrastructure categories, including block storage, Network Attached Storage (NAS), and object storage-as-a-service. It is relevant to organizations building hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, storage for virtualized and containerized workloads, and as-a-service infrastructure strategies where storage capacity and performance are aligned with operational rather than capital budgets.
