Zadara Cloud usafe for Proof of Concept
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I used Zadara Cloud to test FalconStor virtual tape library product in it (called FalconStor StorSafe). I was able to deploy it on Zadara cloud and run backups/restores, using both block storage as well as their object storage.
Pros
- Host VMs using windows and linux
- Provide object storage
- Provide block storage
Cons
- VMs misses some functionality like being able to swap the boot disk.
- To allocate storage to the VM, you need to configure iscsi connections from both ends.
- Marketplace still missing major products.
Likelihood to Recommend
I only used it as a proof of concept for some products. For me, it seemed to be focused on the European market, but it´s a pretty new cloud provider in comparison to other major competitors like Amazon and Azure which are much more developed, so they are still missing some functionality and features.
