Does anybody have experience with a NAS filer on Amazon Web Services that is easy to use?
I looked at SaaS products like Zadara and found that they have security problems because of separating the data from the compute workloads into a 3rd party data center on 3rd party hardware and software (the data is stored outside of AWS’ data center across a network connection, which also introduces additional latencies and points of failure, by the way).
And now with AWS built-in encryption for EBS volumes that allow complete control via personal AWS accounts and a VPC, the AWS and SoftNAS combination provides the level of control and security required.
Zadara doesn’t provide a cloud NAS like SoftNAS. It’s 3rd party network storage, not a NAS within AWS (which was the original question that was posted). It’s also a bit like comparing apples and oranges – they’re both fruit but also very different in flavor.
