On-Premise as a Service (OPaaS) Storage for Enterprises By Zadara Storage Introducing On-Premise as a Service (OPaaS) Zadara Storage On-Premise as a Service reduces the costs and complexity associated with data center storage by delivering fully managed SAN and NAS with consumption pricing. OPaaS is local storage that does away with purchases and leases, and helps enterprises to become more efficient and agile while simplifying data portability. OPaaS is powered by Zadara’s Virtual Private Storage Array™ (VPSA™), which had been available exclusively in public clouds worldwide for three years, 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, includes remote storage management, and features usage-based subscription pricing. Since OPaaS combines the benefits of dedicated

H O W O P A A S D E L IV E R S D E D IC A T E D A N D S E C U R E E N T E R P R IS E S T O R A G E A S A S E R V IC E 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). Users—whether organizations, divisions, or departments— pay only for the 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. Data-in-flight and data-at-rest encryption (with keys you control) ensures information remains private, continuously protected, and strongly secured. OPaaS is a scalable hardware storage solution for enterprises, SMBs and startups. It can be deployed with as few as two storage nodes and can seamlessly scale to hundreds of nodes and petabytes. As your organization's storage needs grow Zadara will automatically ship you additional storage at no cost until you actually use it.
