Microsoft Azure SoftNAS Pricing

No Storage Tax

Pay for the performance you need.

Whether you need to increase storage capacity or increase data performance, Buurst’s SoftNAS has the flexibility to give you the cost control to maximize performance for your existing Azure cloud environment.

SoftNAS Competitive Pricing Advantage

The storage industry has brought their legacy pricing models to the cloud, making you pay twice for your storage. Once to the cloud vendor, and once to the storage vendor. On top of this, if you want to increase performance, you have to increase capacity with it. With SoftNAS, you’ll never have to pay for your own data.
