REDWOOD CITY, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/12/14 -- Coraid®, a leading provider of scale-out Ethernet storage solutions, today announced that Zettagrid, one of Australia's largest Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers, has chosen Coraid as its cloud storage solution. When evaluating solutions, Zettagrid tested a number of storage vendors and ultimately chose Coraid for its scale-out and flexible platform. The EtherDrive platform delivers performance, resiliency and availability per workload across multiple applications with streamlined management, making it ideal for Zettagrid's dynamic service environment.

Zettagrid is experiencing rapid growth of its IaaS offering. While the growth is welcome, it also creates challenges in the form of storage performance and capacity. By nature, the growth of cloud services is unpredictable, making it difficult to anticipate future storage requirements. Zettagrid needed a solution that avoided long, expensive procurement cycles, forklift upgrades, custom engineering and add-on costs normally associated with legacy storage systems.

"It was clear we needed a different approach," said Nicki Pereira, CTO of Zettagrid. "Legacy storage limited our ability to be agile and react to our customers' dynamic workloads. Coraid technology handles all of the back-end work for us, making it extremely simple to use and eliminating the need for a massive SAN team just sitting at our datacenters to do a lot of manual work. Coraid delivers the simplicity and scalability we need as a cloud service provider."

Coraid delivers the scalable storage that Zettagrid needs while providing visibility into the company's massive storage environment. Now with over a petabyte of Coraid storage in place, Zettagrid has realized significant cost savings because of its ability to grow compute and capacity with its needs. The flexibility of the Coraid solution enabled Zettagrid to launch a completely new cloud service called ioSTOR. Zettagrid now provides the unique benefits of Coraid storage directly to its customers, allowing them to control their own environments.
