AI sovereignty for GPU-based workloads has supported cost savings and secure local processing
Reviewed on Jul 18, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Zadara is to build and validate the GPU as a Service and the AI sovereignty that they're working on.
I have developed a tool that works based on GPU as a Service, and it also complies with the AI sovereignty concepts. The LLM is being run on GPU as a Service, and the interface is local with documents that are processed and chunked stored locally on the GPU server. This ensures that data does not leave the organization, which complies with AI sovereignty requirements.
This is the main use case that I am currently focused on without any other distractions.
What is most valuable?
The best features Zadara offers include 99% compute availability, and the redundancy mechanism that supports this is significant. Features like GPU as a Service can help bring down the operational cost of a physical GPU, and they are currently working on AI sovereignty and the AI factor.
Zadara has positively impacted my organization as it has added power and momentum to our vision, particularly when working with AI.
What needs improvement?
Zadara can be improved by making their interfaces more attractive. They currently look like simple PHP interfaces, but they need to customize and work on their interfaces and user interfaces significantly.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Zadara for the past year or a couple of years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Zadara is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Zadara's scalability is perfectly configured. There is no need to worry about scalability because the virtual machine automatically detects the load and then takes the load balance.
How are customer service and support?
The support that Zadara provides feels like calling a friend for help.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously worked with Google Cloud Platform and AWS platform solutions. I switched because Google Compute was not available when needed, so the virtual machine had to be reset every time. With AWS , the pricing was increasing significantly, so I needed an alternative solution. That is why I took a different approach.
How was the initial setup?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was straightforward. The process involves filling out fields or columns related to pricing and the application that will be used, and then they send a price quote. The process is simple and straightforward, but the pricing needs to be a little more public.
What was our ROI?
I can see the return on investment because we are saving around 15 to 18% of the operational cost when compared to AWS.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have evaluated Zadara against every other public and private cloud option.
What other advice do I have?
Regarding Zadara's AI capabilities, I think it depends on the MSPs that they are performing collaborations with, and based on that, the MSPs are responsible for configuring the data governance or any kind of certifications that are placed on Zadara. Zadara normally has certain default governance things, and everything else depends on the local or region-specific governance rules.
Regarding Zadara's AI capabilities, I feel they are quick. I was trying two models on the same GPU that they were providing, and they were allocating the resources with me. This experience was good, and I would rate it around 9 to 9.5.
The first choice would be Zadara depending on the solution. However, I cannot really say Zadara would be the primary choice because it truly depends on the application or the objective that is being pursued.
I would rate this review an 8 overall.

Flexible, Hassle-Free Storage with Seamless Integration
Reviewed on Nov 21, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Zadara zStorage is its remarkable flexibility and ability to adapt to nearly any storage requirement. It accommodates block, file, and object storage across a variety of protocols, allowing it to integrate smoothly into different environments without necessitating significant changes. Another major advantage is the OpEx, pay-as-you-go model, which eliminates the burden of large upfront investments and enables you to scale capacity only when it’s truly needed. I also value how straightforward it is to manage; the fully managed 24/7 service means I don’t have to deal with the typical hassles of storage maintenance. Whether deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge, it consistently provides reliable performance, making it an excellent choice for organizations seeking enterprise-grade storage without unnecessary complexity.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not many significant drawbacks, but a few aspects are worth mentioning. Because zStorage is not as widely adopted as the leading cloud storage platforms, certain integrations and tools may feel somewhat limited. Additionally, you might need to invest some time in learning about the various tiers and options to ensure you choose the best setup for your needs. Overall, these downsides are relatively minor, but they are still important to consider.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
zStorage helps solve the problem of managing complex, fragmented storage environments. Instead of juggling separate systems for block, file, and object storage, zStorage brings everything together in one platform, which makes it much easier to manage and scale. This benefits me by reducing the amount of time and effort spent maintaining different systems.
Another problem it solves is unpredictable storage growth and costs. With its pay-as-you-go model, I don’t have to overbuy hardware “just in case.” I can scale capacity up or down whenever I need to, and that flexibility keeps costs under control while still giving me enterprise-class performance.
It also removes a lot of the operational burden. Because it’s fully managed 24/7, I don’t have to worry about handling upgrades, monitoring, or troubleshooting storage infrastructure. That lets me focus on applications and business needs instead of backend maintenance.
Overall, zStorage benefits me by simplifying storage management, keeping costs more predictable, and giving me reliable performance without the complexity of traditional storage systems.

Outstanding Onboarding and Support with an Intuitive Interface
Reviewed on Nov 11, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I was fairly new to storage when I fist started using Zadara. The onboarding was great. Went through all the areas that I would be using. The Zadara interface is easy to use. The customer support is some of the best I've worked with Easy to open a ticket and Zadara is quick to respond.
What do you dislike about the product?
The was an issue with one of our VPSA where were weren't alerted. The VPSA went down and we did not know for hours. After the issue was fixed we met with our Zadara reps and told that the issue and slow response would not happen again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm not if it is solving any problems but we needed a new storage platform during our data center move. Zadara has been a quality platform and performed well for what we need it for.
