EMBARGOED News Release: "Zadara Storage Offers Intel-based Flash Storage-as-a-Service at HDD Price Point"

Zadara Storage Offers Intel-based Flash Storage-as-a-Service at HDD Price Point Collaboration with Industry-Leader Intel Redefines Enterprise Flash Price Point IRVINE, CA – November 15, 2016 –

Zadara™ Storage, the award-winning provider of enterpriseclass Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) today announced that their Zadara Storage Cloud will offer Intel®-based, flash storage solutions providing industry-leading flash performance in a pure-OpExbased model – however at prices that rival traditional hard disk drive configurations.

As the market continues to abandon traditional CapEx-based storage and move at an increasing rate toward OpEx-based Storage-as-a-Service, Zadara Storage has teamed with Intel to provide new industry-leading flash-enabled solutions to address the insatiable demand for high-performance storage.

The new solutions combine Intel PCSD servers, Intel Xeon® E5 v4 processors and Intel SSDs based on the new Intel® 3D NAND technology with the Zadara Storage Cloud software architecture. The resulting solutions enable both service providers and enterprise customers to enjoy unprecedented flexibility, scalability and performance. In a move that will accelerate market momentum away from HDD-based offerings, Zadara is now offering new flash-based solutions at price-parity with existing HDD products. “Zadara Storage has become a growing force in the cloud storage market with a distinctive approach to enterprise storage,” said Nick Sundby, director, storage practice lead at IDC. “IDC believes that many organizations are increasingly looking for a new approach to storage that is service-based and tightly aligned with their changing business needs, but without compromising on security, availability, or performance. Zadara’s announcement today aligns well with this goal."

“Zadara Storage was an early storage-as-a-service pioneer and has created disruptive on-premises and service provider offerings with OpEx based pricing,” said Henry Baltazar, research director of storage at 451 Research. “The expansion into flash-enabled storage-as-a-service will provide customers with a high performance alternative to conventional storage systems with the elasticity expected from cloud services."

“Intel 3D NAND SSDs are shifting the way customers and end-users think about storage by delivering incredible price/performance that transform the economics and will accelerate the transition toward cost-effective, dense storage options – all while moving the industry away from legacy technologies,” said Bill Leszinske, vice president and director of strategic planning, marketing and business development, Intel Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group. “Applications, like the Zadara Storage Cloud, showcase Intel’s latest technologies and accelerate flash adoption across the industry, leading to incredible experiences, breakthroughs and business value."

“Our goal at Zadara Storage is to create solutions that align with our customers’ needs,” said Nelson Nahum, CEO and co-founder, Zadara Storage. “This often causes us to disrupt the market by introducing technologies and business models that are non-traditional. In this case, we believe the market has passed an inflection point, and flash flash should be priced on par with disk-based solutions – providing flash performance to the mass market.” Click to Tweet: .@ZadaraStorage introduces Intel-based, flashStorage-as-a-Service at HDD Price ZadaraCloud #IntelStorageBuilders

Zadara Storage Named as a Red Herring Top 100 North America Winner Recognized for technological innovation, intellectual property, and disruptive business model with its Flexible Enterprise Storage as a Service (STaaS) offering NEWPORT BEACH, CA – June 9, 2016 –

Zadara™ Storage the provider of enterprise-class storageas-a-service (STaaS) was named by Red Herring as one of its Top 100 North America award winners, an annual listing that recognizes the leading private companies from the region and celebrates these startups’ innovations and technologies across their respective industries.

Red Herring Top 100 America enlists outstanding entrepreneurs and promising companies. It selects the award winners from approximately 1,200 privately financed companies each year in the US and Canada. Since 1996, Red Herring has kept tabs on these up-and-comers. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Salesforce.com, and Palo Alto Networks would change the way we live and work.

“Selecting the North American Top 100 list was once again a very difficult process,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “The caliber of companies and the accomplishments demonstrated by the candidates was very impressive. But after much thought, rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to finalize on the North America winners. We believe Zadara Storage embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture.

As a repeat winner, Zadara Storage should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong.” Red Herring’s editorial staff evaluated companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technological innovation and intellectual property, DNA of the founders, business model, customer footprint and addressable market. A review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowed Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in North America, complement this assessment of potential. 

“We are honored to be selected by Red Herring for this prestigious award for the second year in a row,” said Nelson Nahum, CEO of Zadara Storage. “We are pleased to be listed alongside previous winners such as Google, Skype, YouTube and eBay. Zadara’s success can be attributed to providing a unique and differentiated Zadara Storage Cloud solution to a rapidly growing market that is transitioning from rigid CapEx storage to flexible and agile OpEx Storage-as-a-Service.”
