Virtual Private Storage Array

What do you like best about the product?

What I appreciate most about Zadara zStorage is its remarkable flexibility and ability to adapt to nearly any storage requirement. It accommodates block, file, and object storage across a variety of protocols, allowing it to integrate smoothly into different environments without necessitating significant changes. Another major advantage is the OpEx, pay-as-you-go model, which eliminates the burden of large upfront investments and enables you to scale capacity only when it’s truly needed. I also value how straightforward it is to manage; the fully managed 24/7 service means I don’t have to deal with the typical hassles of storage maintenance. Whether deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge, it consistently provides reliable performance, making it an excellent choice for organizations seeking enterprise-grade storage without unnecessary complexity.

What do you dislike about the product?

There are not many significant drawbacks, but a few aspects are worth mentioning. Because zStorage is not as widely adopted as the leading cloud storage platforms, certain integrations and tools may feel somewhat limited. Additionally, you might need to invest some time in learning about the various tiers and options to ensure you choose the best setup for your needs. Overall, these downsides are relatively minor, but they are still important to consider.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

zStorage helps solve the problem of managing complex, fragmented storage environments. Instead of juggling separate systems for block, file, and object storage, zStorage brings everything together in one platform, which makes it much easier to manage and scale. This benefits me by reducing the amount of time and effort spent maintaining different systems.

Another problem it solves is unpredictable storage growth and costs. With its pay-as-you-go model, I don’t have to overbuy hardware “just in case.” I can scale capacity up or down whenever I need to, and that flexibility keeps costs under control while still giving me enterprise-class performance.

It also removes a lot of the operational burden. Because it’s fully managed 24/7, I don’t have to worry about handling upgrades, monitoring, or troubleshooting storage infrastructure. That lets me focus on applications and business needs instead of backend maintenance.

Overall, zStorage benefits me by simplifying storage management, keeping costs more predictable, and giving me reliable performance without the complexity of traditional storage systems.

What do you like best about the product?

Zadara's zStorage platform makes it simple for us to scale our object storage target with minimal daily effort. The storage array is dedicated to our use, and the read and write speeds are outstanding considering the cost.

What do you dislike about the product?

Although the management GUI for the Object Storage (NGOS) platform has seen steady improvements, it remains quite limited. Performing tasks such as manual deletions or configuring advanced permissions (IAM) is still very restricted, and the majority of operations must be carried out through the command line.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

zStorage enables us to deliver a dedicated storage platform that can scale alongside our requirements, all while remaining on a dedicated array. Since our customers prefer not to have their data stored in a public cloud, zStorage gives us the ability to meet their preferences and offer a solution that is both flexible and cost-effective with its consumption-based pricing.
