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.

Most Important Features

  • VM capability
  • Object storage capability
  • A cloud provider option for European market

Return on Investment

  • No real impact, as I only used it for some proof of concept.
  • New cloud provider still missing some features and functionality.
  • An alternative cloud provider hopefully cheaper than its competitors.
