Enterprises adopting the cloud inherit a storage dilemma. Managed file services are fast but priced so that large datasets become cost-prohibitive. Object storage is affordable and effectively limitless — but it isn't a filesystem, so applications must be rewritten and data staged in and out.
At the same time, file (NAS) and block (SAN) live in separate products, and proprietary appliances lock data into a vendor's format. The result is duplicated infrastructure, runaway capacity bills, and data you don't fully control.
Benefits
- File and block from one multiprotocol substrate
- Unlimited capacity at object-storage economics
- Active-active HA with enterprise ZFS data services
- Runs in your own cloud — full data sovereignty
MayaNAS resolves the dilemma with a single software-defined substrate. It presents standard file and block protocols — NFS, SMB with Active Directory, NVMe-oF, iSCSI, and parallel Lustre and pNFS — over one namespace, while placing bulk capacity directly on cloud object storage. Hot data and metadata stay on NVMe; everything scales on object storage at a fraction of managed-file cost.
It runs active-active for high availability, includes the full set of OpenZFS data services, and deploys entirely inside your own cloud account on any of the three major clouds — so your data, buckets, and keys never leave your control.
