Zadara Storage Named one of the “Best Entrepreneurial Companies In America” by Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2016 Entrepreneur 360™ List Honored for Its Industry Impact, Innovation, Growth and Leadership IRVINE, CA – November 22, 2016 – Zadara Storage was recently recognized as one of the “Best Entrepreneurial Companies in America” by Entrepreneur magazine’s Entrepreneur 360™ List, the most comprehensive analysis of private companies in America.

Based on this study forged by Entrepreneur, Zadara Storage is recognized as a well-rounded company that has mastered a balance of impact, innovation, growth and leadership. “We are honored to rank nationally among the fastest growing and most innovative firms in so many industries,” said Kevin Liebl, vice president of marketing for Zadara Storage. “By pioneering an elastic, scalable, cost-effective Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) solution for data center-grade applications, we are helping to transform the enterprise IT industry so that companies everywhere can better align their infrastructure for a changing world.”

Zadara Storage provides enterprise-grade Storage-as-a-Service, available either on-premise, in the cloud, or in hybrid configurations – with capabilities not found in other cloud-deployed solutions. Its family of high-performance, SLA-guaranteed solutions support any data type (block, file, object) in any location (cloud, on-premise or hybrid) with any protocol (FC, iSCSI, iSER, NFS, CIFS, S3, Swift).

The solutions are provided on a pure OpEx-basis without leases, upfront costs or lengthy commitments. Users receive isolated resources with the economic and elastic benefits of multi-tenancy, but the security and guaranteed performance of a single-tenant experience. iSER, Elastic Flash Cache and Docker services drive even higher overall performance. “Our annual evaluation offers a 360-degree analysis of the current private-business landscape,” explains Lisa Murray, chief insights officer of Entrepreneur Media, Inc. “Top performers are determined by how well-rounded they are in four key operative areas. Entrepreneurship is a complex endeavor— this listing recognizes those who have mastered the challenge and are thriving this year.”

Honorees were identified based on the results from a comprehensive study of independently-owned companies, using a proprietary algorithm and other advanced analytics. The algorithm was built on a balanced scorecard designed to measure four metrics reflecting major pillars of entrepreneurship— innovation, growth, leadership and impact.
