Case Study: SPIRIT/21 achieves scalable, secure, cost-controlled enterprise storage-as-a-service with Zadara Storage

Spirit 21 Enhances Managed Services Portfolio with Enterprise STaaS

SPIRIT/21, a leading German managed IT services provider, needed to enhance its portfolio with scalable, secure, enterprise-grade storage that delivered a single‑tenant experience, consumption‑based pricing, high availability, and flexible on‑premises or cloud deployment. To meet these requirements, SPIRIT/21 selected Zadara Storage’s enterprise Storage‑as‑a‑Service (STaaS).

Zadara Storage deployed its fully managed STaaS (installed at SPIRIT/21 in Feb 2018, first workload May 2018), enabling fast, simple rollout, precise scalability, modular cloud/on‑prem flexibility, and 24/7 support. As a result SPIRIT/21 achieved 100% cost control and consistent data availability, on‑the‑fly adjustments in hours, and supported key use cases (backup‑to‑disk, ESX datastores, S3 archiving, disaster recovery), expanding their managed services with predictable, consumption‑based storage.
