Hybrid Storage Architecture
How MayaNAS Delivers 75% Cost Savings
MayaNAS uses a hybrid architecture that combines the best of both worlds:
- SSD Tier: Metadata and active working set on NVMe/Premium SSD for low-latency access (2TB typical)
- Object Storage Tier: Bulk data on S3/Blob/GCS for unlimited capacity (98TB+ typical)
- OpenZFS File System: Enterprise-grade features with data integrity
- NFS Protocol: Standard NFSv3/v4 for broad client compatibility
Example: 100TB Deployment
- All-SSD: 100TB × $0.10/GB/mo = $10,000/month
- MayaNAS Hybrid: 2TB SSD + 98TB S3 = $2,300/month
- Savings: 77% cost reduction

Replication
Cross-region replication for disaster recovery and multi-region deployments.
Data Integrity
ZFS checksums detect and correct silent data corruption automatically.
Tiering
Automatic data tiering between SSD and object storage based on access patterns.
Multi-Protocol
NFSv3, NFSv4, SMB/CIFS support for Linux, macOS, and Windows clients.
High Performance
500-800 MB/s throughput with 10-15K IOPS using SSD metadata cache.
Thin Provisioning
Over-provision storage without wasting capacity. Pay only for what you use.
Active-Passive HA
Optional 2-node HA cluster with sub-60 second failover for production workloads.
Validated Performance
High Throughput
MayaNAS delivers excellent throughput for large file workloads using our unique ZFS-on-S3 architecture:
- Sequential Read: 500-800 MB/s typical
- Sequential Write: 400-600 MB/s typical
