Benefits of cloud storage you can’t ignore
DataMiner STaaS can cut costs by up to 43% over five years compared to traditional on-premises solutions.
Why? Because running your own Cassandra or OpenSearch clusters burns through €2,500+ per month in infrastructure costs alone. But with STaaS, you pay only for data you actually use, and scale effortlessly with zero waste or overprovisioning.
Simulation with 2 storage servers in high-availability mode (triple redundancy)
Direct savings: guaranteed - Potential savings: higher if on-prem issues arise.
With self-managed storage, engineers lose most of their hours patching, scaling, and troubleshooting databases.
With STaaS, all that time is freed up for what truly matters: building dashboards, apps, and automation that drive business value.
Self-managed storage drains time on maintenance. STaaS lets engineers focus on creating real value.
