storage as a service (Staas)

Storing your data doesn't have to be expensive.

Working with our vendor partners, we offer secure data storage to meet your needs. Our STaaS provides a scalable, on-demand, enterprise storage solution across fully redundant switches.

NWRDC's STaaS features:

Full disk encryption included at no charge
All Flash performance
Local clones and snapshots
Offsite LUN level replication

With our STaaS consumption model, you will eliminate idle data storage capacity and pay only for the storage allocated to you for as long as you need it. Unused storage can be returned to NWRDC to reduce your overall costs.

Transitioning to STaaS is simple, with the option to either subscribe to new storage from NWRDC or or migrate your existing SAN storage using external virtualization. Our staff will work with you every step of the way.
