Zadara Expands Enterprise Storage-as-a-Service Coverage in AWS Beijing Region with Futong

BEIJING, CHINA – March 21, 2017 – 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.”
