Storage as a Service
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 solutionFree up valuable financial resources for other activities
Avoid the high capital cost of purchasing high-performance data storage infrastructureAvoid the additional technical overhead of managing additional data storage hardware

Benefits of Storage as a Service
Flexible Subscription Based Model & Reduced Cost
TierPoint Managed STaaS features a flexible, subscription-based billing model where you only pay for the data storage capacity you use. By consuming scalable data storage as a service, you’ll side-step the uncertainty of predicting your long-term storage needs, avoid the high capital costs of purchasing data storage hardware, and outsource the cost and complexity of managing your critical data infrastructure.
Shared & Dedicated Hardware
Choose between Shared and Dedicated STaaS solutions based on your unique needs and circumstances.
Dedicated STaaS offers high performance, more customization options, and complete data isolation, ideal for enterprises with high performance requirements or those who need full control over the storage environment. Our Shared STaaS offering delivers high availability and scalable capacity on shared infrastructure at a lower cost, ideal for SMBs with less stringent performance and/or compliance needs.
Security Designed for Cyber Resilience
TierPoint safeguards your data and operations with Pure’s SafeMode™ snapshots, a robust ransomware mitigation capability that enables rapid recovery from attempted ransomware attacks. SafeMode™ creates immutable snapshots of your data that can’t be deleted, encrypted, or modified by ransomware, so you can avoid financial losses, prevent data loss, and quickly restore operations following an attempted ransomware attack.
TierPoint Ransomware Recovery is an optional add-on that provides a dedicated storage environment and comprehensive services to help you rapidly and securely recover from cyber attacks.
Scalability with On-Demand Bursting
TierPoint Managed STaaS customers can start with as little as 35 TiB of storage and scale up from there, enhancing storage reserves as needed. Pay-as-you-go flexibility combined with on-demand bursting for temporary demand spikes means that you only pay for the storage you use, when you use it.
High Availability with 99.99% Uptime
TierPoint Managed STaaS delivers unmatched reliability, ensuring that your data will be available whenever and wherever you need it. Our 99.99% uptime SLA demonstrates our commitment to empowering your business with consistent availability and performance.
