MayaNAS on Microsoft Azure.

HA NAS, Lustre and pNFS clusters on Blob Storage, deployed from Azure Marketplace into your own subscription and billed through your Azure agreement.

One engine, three plans — in one Azure Marketplace offer.

Runs in your subscription with your Blob Storage as the capacity tier. Pick a plan — NAS, Lustre or pNFS — when you deploy the MayaNAS Clusters offer.

NFS · SMB · S3

Enterprise NAS on Blob Storage

Choose this for shared file and block storage — home directories, tools and notebooks, media projects, Windows shares, application volumes.

  • NFS v3/v4.1, SMB 3 with Active Directory and S3 on the same files
  • iSCSI and NVMe/TCP block volumes
  • Active-active HA pair with automatic failover

Parallel · GPU training

Lustre on Blob Storage

Choose this for GPU training data and checkpoints that need a shared parallel filesystem.

  • Standard open-source Lustre client — nothing proprietary to install
  • One HA pair runs the whole file system; no separate MDS, no RAID
  • Bulk data on Blob Storage, no capacity cap

Parallel · standards-based

pNFS on Blob Storage

Choose this for parallel access over the NFS client already built into Linux — no proprietary client to install.

  • Standard Linux NFS v4.1/v4.2 client, flexible files layout
  • Metadata server plus MayaNAS data servers; bandwidth grows as you add data servers
  • Bulk data on Blob Storage, no capacity cap

Blob
the same engine, now served from Azure Blob Storage
Built for Azure

Runs the way your subscription already does.

Billed through Azure

Deploy from Azure Marketplace and pay through the Azure agreement you already have — no separate procurement.

Your storage account is the capacity

Data lives in Blob Storage in your own subscription and region. Capacity grows at Blob prices, with nothing to pre-provision.

Standard clients

NFS and SMB clients already on your Linux and Windows machines — nothing proprietary to install, and AKS mounts NFS with standard volumes.

Inside your VNet

Storage nodes deploy into your subscription and virtual network on private addresses, next to the VMs they serve.

Enterprise file storage on Azure, at object-storage cost.

Deploy a two-node HA cluster today — NAS, Lustre or pNFS — or start from a single, self-managed VM. Talk to us about running across clouds.
