IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Zadara™ Storage, Inc. today announced that it has expanded its Virtual Private Storage Array (VPSA™) solution, a Cloud Block and File Storage service for demanding applications, to the Rackspace open cloud. The VPSA service is available for first generation Cloud Servers and Cloud Servers powered by OpenStack^® through the enhanced Cloud Tools Marketplace from Rackspace (NYSE: RAX), the open cloud company.  This marketplace will serve as a gateway to an open ecosystem of cloud solutions, which will give customers access to a broad range of tools available for the Rackspace^® open cloud. 

Zadara's VPSAs are designed from the ground up for the cloud.
