Case Study: Gilt achieves 85% storage-cost reduction and greater agility with Zadara Storage

Gilt Reduces Storage Costs by 85%, Increases Agility, with Zadara

Gilt, the online shopping destination serving millions of members, faced scalability, manageability and rising total-cost-of-ownership for storage as it moved compute to AWS. To get cloud-like elasticity while retaining enterprise features, Gilt adopted Zadara Storage’s Storage-as-a-Service model using Zadara’s virtual private storage array (VPSA).

Using Zadara Storage’s VPSA, Gilt cut storage costs by 85%, shrank provisioning tasks from days to minutes, and redeployed storage admins to higher-value work, boosting productivity and engagement. Zadara Storage also provided seamless connectivity to AWS (with options for cross-region attachment, replication and Backup to S3), and delivered strong support throughout the deployment.
