Benefit from efficient and secure data storage with flexible subscription-based billing, robust ransomware protection, and seamless scalability when you future-proof your data storage infrastructure with TierPoint Managed Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS). You get cost-effective, high-availability, and high-performing hybrid cloud storage without the cost, risk, or complexity of managing it yourself.

Why Use Storage as a Service?

Purchasing high-performance storage capacity for your data center is a significant capital expense. There’s also no way to predict how much data storage you’ll need in the future, making it difficult to right-size your purchase. Purchasing more than you need ties up precious financial resources that could be used to grow your business. You’ll also take on the technical overhead (complexity, cost, risk, etc.) of managing your new hardware. With TierPoint Managed STaaS, you gain flexible, on-demand access to unlimited hybrid cloud data storage capacity on high-performance all-flash storage arrays from Pure Storage, hosted in a state-of-the-art TierPoint data center. You’ll enjoy exceptional performance, seamless scalability, and 24x7 monitoring and alert responses from TierPoint - all backed by a 99.99% availability SLA. With our affordable pay-as-you-go pricing model, data storage becomes an OPEX instead of a CAPEX and you can:

• Future-proof your data storage needs with a flexible and scalable solution
• Free up valuable financial resources for other activities
• Avoid the high capital cost of purchasing high-performance data storage infrastructure
• Avoid the additional technical overhead of managing additional data storage hardware
