Zadara, the cloud services provider and leader in enterprise storage-as-a-service, on Friday announced that KDDI, one of Japan's largest telecommunications providers, has added Zadara’s cloud storage to its product portfolio.
KDDI will leverage Zadara’s storage-as-a-service (STaaS) platform to provide its enterprise customers with a 100% OpEx storage solution as a fully managed service – with no significant up-front expenses.
The partnership with Zadara will enable KDDI to provide its network customers with a storage solution that is easily scalable and provides high availability with no planned downtime. A main benefit of the Zadara STaaS model is that it removes the guesswork about how much storage is needed. At any time, customers can simply dial-up or dial-down the amount of storage they need on demand, without any penalties or hidden fees. Zadara’s technology platform offers enterprise-class speed, security and scalability. The solution supports any data type, any protocol and any location.
KDDI’s new STaaS offering will be available for its customers starting as early as November 2020. Zadara’s cloud storage offering is expected to be rolled out to enterprise customers in Japan by 2021.

Nelson Nahum, CEO, Zadara
We are pleased that KDDI has selected Zadara's Cloud Services to provide essential storage infrastructure solutions – and we look forward to expanding our relationship with them in the future.
