Zadara Storage, the provider of enterprise-class storage-as-a-service (STaaS), and Futong today announced the availability of Zadara's award-winning VPSA Storage Array at
the Beijing Sinnet Technology Co., Ltd data center, supporting the AWS
Beijing region. Zadara has previously announced regional support
following AWS expansion into Dublin, Sydney, Tokyo, Frankfurt and South
Korea.
The
rapidly growing China market is creating a need for massive amounts of
high-performance, enterprise-class storage. IT professionals are quickly
realizing that traditional Capital Expense-based (CapEx) storage does
not meet their scalability and cost targets. Zadara Storage, with its
Operating Expense-based (OpEx) solution provides a cost-effective,
infinitely scalable, block (SAN), file (NAS) and Object
Storage-as-a-Service solution. The Zadara Storage Cloud enables
companies doing business in China the ability to leverage the
flexibility and economic benefits of public and private cloud
architectures as they grow their infrastructures.
Local
China-based businesses, and global companies with a presence in China
who are leveraging the AWS region in Beijing, can now benefit from
Zadara Storage solutions being offered by Futong at the Sinnet data
center.
"The
demand for enterprise-grade, hybrid-cloud storage in China has been
significant and continues to grow rapidly," says Jin Wei, CTO of Futong.
"The Zadara VPSA is a perfect fit for companies who are looking to take
advantage of the flexibility and economic benefits of
storage-as-a-service. Zadara has a proven solution providing pure OpEx,
fully elastic, enterprise-grade storage-as-a-service. We are excited to
be able to offer the Zadara VPSA to AWS users throughout the region. Our
joint customers now have greater choices and more flexibility to build
flexible, highly-available corporate storage solutions."
"We
are thrilled to be expanding our relationship with Futong in the
rapidly growing Beijing, China market. By working closely with Futong,
we have been extremely successful in delivering our award-winning VPSA
solution to companies in the China market," said Dani Naor, vice
president, international sales, at Zadara Storage. "Now, with this new
announcement, we are able to provide our award-winning solutions to a
far larger segment of the local region enabling greater scalability and
cost-savings."
