Case Study: Viatel launches enterprise storage-as-a-service with Zadara Storage

Viatel Partners with Zadara to Offer Enterprise Data Storage Services

Viatel, the largest Irish-owned provider of voice, connectivity and data center solutions, wanted to expand beyond colocation into high-growth storage-as-a-service offerings to serve existing customers and reach new market segments. After a build vs. buy evaluation, Viatel selected Zadara Storage to provide a turnkey, software-defined storage-as-a-service solution that met its requirements for enterprise-grade features and rapid time-to-market.

Using Zadara Storage’s on-demand block, file and object storage with advanced data protection, Viatel now offers enterprise-grade storage services with mirroring across its Dublin 1, Dublin 2 and Cork facilities and plans for UK replication. Zadara Storage enabled Viatel to start small with almost zero startup cost, scale elastically, differentiate competitively, and leverage Viatel’s 100% Ireland coverage and 1Gbps network to expand its market and value-added service portfolio.
