Amazon S3

Leverages S3 buckets for unlimited bulk data storage with cost-effective storage classes.

VPC Native

Fully integrated with VPC networking, PrivateLink, and Elastic Load Balancing.

Amazon EKS

Mount as persistent volumes for EKS workloads with standard NFS protocol support.

Amazon SageMaker

Ideal for ML training data lakes with high-throughput access to large datasets.

CloudWatch

Full integration with CloudWatch Logs, Metrics, and alarming capabilities.

NFS Client Performance - 5.26 GB/s Read

Validated NFS Throughput

Active-Active HA Performance

Single Node Read: ~2.9-3.1 GB/s
Single Node Write: ~2.3-2.4 GB/s
Combined HA Read:
5.26 GB/s
Combined HA Write:
4.57 GB/s

Configuration: c5n.9xlarge (36 vCPUs, 96GB) + 20 S3 buckets, Active-Active HA

Active-Active HA Advantage

With Active-Active HA deployment, both nodes serve NFS traffic simultaneously, effectively doubling throughput compared to single-node. The graph above shows individual share performance and concurrent combined performance, demonstrating how MayaNAS scales with Active-Active architecture.

Architecture on AWS

Hybrid EBS + S3 Design

MayaNAS uses a hybrid architecture that combines the best of both worlds:

  • EBS gp3/io2 Volumes: Metadata and active working set for low-latency access
  • Amazon S3: Bulk data storage with unlimited capacity
  • ZFS File System: Enterprise-grade features with data integrity
  • NFS Protocol: Standard NFSv3/v4 for broad client compatibility

High Availability (Optional)

  • 2-Node Active-Active Cluster: Both nodes serve traffic simultaneously
  • Doubled Throughput: Load balanced across both nodes
  • Health Check Monitoring: Automatic failover detection
  • Elastic Load Balancing: Distributes NFS traffic across nodes
Active-Active HA Deployment
MayaNAS Architecture on AWS

Hybrid architecture with EBS gp3 volumes for metadata and S3 for unlimited capacity. Both nodes actively serve NFS traffic for maximum throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get pricing information?

Contact our sales team for custom pricing based on your configuration and deployment requirements. MayaNAS is available on AWS Marketplace with billing through your AWS account.

Can I change instance types after deployment?

Yes, you can resize instances or redeploy with different configurations. Data is stored in S3 buckets and persists across redeployments.

What regions is MayaNAS available in?

MayaNAS can be deployed in any AWS region that supports EC2 and S3.

Do I need to manage backups separately?

Data in S3 is automatically replicated within the region. For additional protection, use ZFS snapshots and cross-region replication features.

What are the infrastructure requirements?

MayaNAS runs on standard AWS services: EC2 instances (C5/M5/R5 families), gp3/io2 EBS volumes, and S3. Standard AWS infrastructure costs apply.

Is there a trial or proof-of-concept option?

Yes, contact our sales team to discuss trial options and proof-of-concept deployments tailored to your specific use case.

How does Active-Active HA improve performance?

With Active-Active HA, both nodes serve NFS traffic simultaneously, effectively doubling throughput compared to single-node deployments. The validated 5.26 GB/s read and 4.57 GB/s write performance represents combined throughput across both nodes.
