Industry First
Invents On-Premise Enterprise Storage-as-a-Service On-Premise-as-a-Service: The Best of Both Worlds Surveys of IT pros indicate they believe the performance and security of their applications are better in their own data centers, but migrate applications to the public cloud so they can pay for only the compute and storage resources they’re using. On-premise-as-a-service (OPaaS) offerings blend the best of both worlds by allowing IT organizations to keep their precious data on-premise, but buy only the capacity they consume.
Zadara is First to Deliver On-Premise-Storage-as-a-Service In 2006, Amazon introduced S3 and the storage-as-a-service category, launching a whole new era of cloud computing. A decade later, the enterprise infrastructure market almost completely bifurcated into traditional on-premise enterprise infrastructure and off-premise public cloud computing. However, in 2011, Zadara Storage came onto the scene and invented a third category: on-premise-as-aservice (OPaaS). In 2017, Zadara has been joined by IT giants HPE, Dell EMC and Microsoft who are now offering some form of on-premise storage-as-a-service.
IT Brand Pulse Industry First Validation In a sea of high-powered IT advertising, IT Brand Pulse delivers test and research data to capture the performance, market position and perceptions of IT professionals about data center infrastructure. When a company is first with a new IT product or feature, we prove it through our Industry First Validation Program. For OPaaS, we searched for competitive offerings, and contacted both vendors and IT pros, to validate that Zadara is first to ship a production-ready version of on-premise-storage-as-service.
