Zadara Storage Expands North American Channels 

Zadara Storage today announced that it has further expanded North American channel availability of its award-winning Virtual Private Storage Array (VPSA) enterprise Storage as a Service (STaaS) offering by naming two new members of its Zadara Integration Partner Program (ZIPP). Capella Telecommunications Inc., a value-added reseller to Canada’s telecommunications industry, and SoftNet Solutions, a solutions provider specializing in high performance enterprise computing applications, will be able to provide their customers with the option of accessing data center-grade SAN and NAS features to support Tier 1 primary storage for low latency, high IOPS applications – affordably, with a monthly payment option, and without the downsides of traditional enterprise storage.

As the pace of hybrid and private cloud deployments accelerate, the Zadara Integration Partner Program (ZIPP) offers Resellers and System Integrators a strategic revenue-growing option of addressing their customers’ most critical file and block storage needs at the price and speed of Cloud Computing.

“Capella has a history of introducing leading edge solutions to the Canadian marketplace, and so we are pleased to continue that tradition by becoming a partner to Zadara,” said Norm Slater, President at Capella Telecommunications Inc., located in Peterborough, Ontario outside Toronto. “Having Zadara’s VPSA solution as part of our arsenal of offerings now allows us to meet even massive, complex enterprise applications with cloud scale and cloud economics.”

“We at SoftNet have been eagerly watching the cloud market for options for robust primary storage available in a Storage as a Service model, and we’ve found it in Zadara,” said Kush Hathi, President at SoftNet Solutions, based in Sunnyvale CA. “Partnering with Zadara will allow us to help customers address primary storage as well as backup and disaster recovery applications in either hybrid or private cloud deployments.”
