Founded in 2011, Zadara delivers its Object Storage as a scale-out cluster consisting of two Virtual Controller (VC) layers. The first, upper layer consists of performance Proxy VCs possessing compute and memory to process REST API traffic. The second, lower layer consists of Storage Controllers that manage the underlying storage and store and retrieve data. Each of these two VC layers can then independently scale their respective performance and capacity attributes up and down.

Zadara also embeds an internal load-balancer in the Object Storage Proxy VC performance layer. This load-balancer distributes the REST API traffic across the Proxy VCs before they send the requests to the Storage Controllers

• Offers two options for protecting data residing on its VCs.
• Data privacy..
• Partners with multiple backup software providers to offer additional cybersecurity functionality.
