Enterprise NAS with fully automated Active-Active HA CloudFormation deployment for NFS, SMB, iSCSI,NVMe/TCP protocols. Our unique cloud-native architecture uses ZFS special vdev on EBS storage for metadata and small files while storing large data blocks on scalable S3 storage for potential cost reduction.
Delivers four enterprise needs: cost reduction through S3-backed storage, production clusters in 2 minutes via CloudFormation, multi-cloud portability, and vendor independence with open-source ZFS.
<br>Ideal for high-throughput workloads with large file streaming: AI/ML model training and inference, media production and rendering, video streaming, genomics data processing, and scientific computing where sequential large-block I/O dominates.
<br>Not suitable for: Database OLTP, random small-file access, sub-millisecond latency requirements. For those workloads, consider MayaScale all-NVMe block storage solutions.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you choose to run MayaNAS. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute and memory you select. Options span general-purpose (m-series), compute-optimized (c-series), and memory-optimized (r-series) families across several generations, from xlarge up to 24xlarge sizes. You pick the instance that fits your throughput and capacity needs. The software deploys into your own account and VPC, and hourly charges bill through your existing cloud agreement. Larger instances cost more per hour than smaller ones.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The instance size sets your compute and memory. MayaNAS runs on that instance to serve files directly on object storage. Your object storage buckets provide the capacity tier and are billed separately by AWS.
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A stopped instance stops accruing MayaNAS hourly fees. MayaNAS uses active-active server pairs with automatic failover, so both instances typically run and each bills per hour while active. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees.
Two things bill separately. MayaNAS charges the hourly rate for your chosen instance type, driven by its size and family. Your data sits directly on object storage, so capacity grows at bucket prices billed by AWS. Compute-heavy or high-throughput runs raise instance cost; large stored datasets raise storage cost.

Vendor refund policy
No refunds for software fees already charged. You may cancel your subscription at any time by terminating your CloudFormation stack or EC2 instances. Only MayaNAS software billing stops immediately upon termination but any AWS charges may continue until you delete those resources separately through AWS console.

MayaNAS Enterprise HA CloudFormation
This CloudFormation template deploys MayaNAS Enterprise, a cloud-native NAS solution with advanced high-availability capabilities and S3 storage integration. The template supports three deployment architectures: single node for development/testing, active-passive HA for production workloads with automatic failover, and active-active HA for maximum performance and load distribution.
The template automatically provisions comprehensive AWS infrastructure including EC2 instances with customizable instance types (network optimized c5n.4xlarge as default), encrypted EBS metadata volumes with configurable size and type (GP3, IO1, IO2), multiple S3 buckets with AES-256 encryption for scalable object storage, and VPC networking with security groups configured for SSH (22), and web UI (2020) access.
Advanced automation features include Lambda-powered Virtual IP calculation for seamless HA failover, automatic VPC/subnet detection for simplified deployment, unique deployment ID generation to prevent resource conflicts, and intelligent network collision detection to ensure VIP availability. The template creates separate IAM roles with least-privilege permissions - limited S3 access for single nodes and comprehensive EC2/EBS/S3 permissions for HA deployments including VIP management and metadata disk failover capabilities.
The deployment process automatically configures MayaNAS software through cloud-init scripts that detect deployment type, establish cluster configuration, configure S3 backend connectivity with multiple bucket support, set up encrypted metadata storage on EBS volumes, and implement Heartbeat with cloud-aware split-brain protection. Resource management includes configurable bucket count (1-12), metadata disk redundancy options, and preservation policies for both S3 buckets and EBS volumes.
Upon successful deployment, the template outputs comprehensive connection information including SSH commands for both instances, Virtual IP addresses for client access, S3 bucket names and metadata volume IDs, and complete resource inventory for monitoring and management. The solution integrates seamlessly with existing AWS infrastructure while providing enterprise-grade NAS capabilities including ZFS file system, snapshots, replication, and multi-protocol support.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
