Storage-as-a-Service Specialist Zadara Acquires Compute Developer NeoKarm ‘Most of our customers are MSPs who use our storage internally to offer to clients who pay for usage. It’s software-defined storage. No Capex. They like not needing Capex and like our flexibility. And they ask us why we don’t also provide Compute as a Service,” says Zadara CEO Nelson Nahum. By Joseph F. Kovar February 17, 2021, 09:19 AM EST Zadara Storage, a developer of software-defined storage technology used to provide Storage as a Service, has added a compute element with the acquisition this week of NeoKarm. NeoKarm’s technology, which was acquired from Stratoscale after that company closed its doors in late 2019, provides an Amazon Web Services-compatible cloud system that, when combined with Zadara’s hardware and software, gives MSPs an on-demand private cloud fully managed by Zadara, said Nelson Nahum, co-founder and CEO of Irvine, Calif.-based Zadara.
