On-Premises as-a-Service (OPaaS) Storage for Service ProvidersIntroducing On-Premises as-a-Service (OPaaS)

Zadara® Storage On-Premises as-a-Service reduces the costs and complexity associated with data center storage by delivering fully managed SAN, NAS and Object Storage with consumption pricing. OPaaS is local storage that does away with purchases and leases, and helps service providers take advantage of a true and simplified utility cost model with pay-as-you-grow pricing.

OPaaS is powered by Zadara’s award winning and patented Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) technology, which is also available in public clouds worldwide (including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform), and is renowned for its reliability, flexibility and multi-tenant performance. OPaaS installs physical storage onsite in customer data centers—just like traditional storage—but delivers enterprise Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) that eliminates up-front costs. With built-in customer metering and billing features, OPaaS is designed for Service Providers that want to deliver a true enterprise-grade solution on demand. With comprehensive support for SAN (FCP-SCSI and iSCSI) and NAS (CIFS/NFS) protocols, as well as S3/Swift compatible Object Storage, databases and applications gain access to ideal type of storage, resulting in optimum reliability, availability, security, and performance.

Zadara Storage uses unique and patented technologies to deliver enterprise storage-as-a-service. OPaaS solutions look, perform, and behave like traditional enterprise storage with multiprotocol support, dual high-availability controllers, a choice of drive types (including SSDs, high performance HDDs, and high-capacity drives), flash cache, and advanced features:

Zadara Storage On-Premises as-a-Service for Service ProvidersEnterprise Services. Pure OpEx. Simplified Management.

• A cost model that reflects your business With zero CapEx and pay-per-use pricing, OPaaS eliminates up-front capital expense and reduces total cost of ownership. Service providers can finally align the cost of their services to incoming payments.

• Deliver Enterprise-grade services Built for cloud environments, OPaaS delivers true multi-tenancy with quality of service (QoS). With rich data management features and performance isolation, Service Providers can deliver both existing and new enterprise-grade services.

• Ensure customer data privacy With dedicated, isolated resources per user, customers gain control of where their data resides, even in off-premises deployments. Data-at-rest and in-flight encryption (with user controlled-keys) ensure data remains secure and private.

• Scale intelligently with data-driven growth OPaaS’ elastic, scale-out architecture means that service providers can right-size initial deployment and seamlessly scale based on customer demand. Embedded, detailed metering and billing tools report on customers’ usage activity.

• Simplified management with Enterprise storage-as-a-service OPaaS is a complete managed service with monitoring, pro-active support and hardware and software maintenance, including a clearly defined availability SLA.

OPaaS transforms storage-related costs from a variable mix of equipment and management expenses to a predictable, on-demand, pay-per-use, elastic service that greatly simplifies planning, streamlines budgeting, and improves return on investment (ROI).

This means service providers—and their clients—pay only for the SAN, NAS and Object storage they consume using subscription-based pricing. Rates adapt to options selected and controlled by users—including storage engine configurations, drive types and quantities, and usable capacity and performance provisioned as dedicated, private resources to each user. Customers enjoy complete data isolation including data-in-flight and data-at-rest encryption (with keys each customer controls) ensuring information remains private, continuously protected, and strongly secured.

OPaaS can be deployed with as few as two storage nodes and can seamlessly scale to hundreds of nodes and petabytes. As your organization grows, Zadara will automatically ship additional storage at no cost until you actually use it.
