We’re excited to join the Apache CloudStack™ community at the CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2025 in Milan, November 19–21. Visit Booth #8 for live demos and architecture reviews, and catch our two technical sessions plus a practical workshop. You can review the official agenda and register, and see the listing on the Apache CloudStack events page.
Why meet StorPool at CCC?
If you operate Apache CloudStack on KVM and want faster, simpler infrastructure, stop by Booth #8 to see StorPool Storage for Apache CloudStack in action—high-performance primary block storage with non-disruptive operations and linear scale. We’ll walk through reference designs for performance-sensitive workloads and resilient DR, and how our native CloudStack integration streamlines day-2 ops.
Speaking Session: KVM Storage Performance: A Comparative Analysis of I/O Modes
Presenter: Venko Moyankov, Solutions Architect
Choosing the right KVM I/O path matters. Venko presents a benchmarking study using FIO, pgbench, and rsync, comparing iothread, AIO, and io_uring across latency, maximum IOPS, throughput, and CPU overhead. Expect practical guidance on selecting I/O modes by workload profile, avoiding bottlenecks, and tuning for consistent performance.
Speaking Session: 2,800 VMs in 5 Servers: Hyperconverged Cloud with CloudStack and StorPool
Presenter: Boyan Krosnov, CTO, co-founder
See how to run a professional-grade CloudStack environment—including the control plane, distributed primary storage, and resilient secondary storage—on just 3–5 servers and two Ethernet switches. You’ll learn how specific StorPool capabilities enable a minimal-footprint design that’s easier to deploy, scale, and operate without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Workshop: Measuring Storage Performance: What to Measure and How
Presenter: Venko Moyankov • Duration: 1 hour • Bring: Laptop
This fast-paced workshop shows what to measure (IOPS, throughput, latency), how to design meaningful tests, and how to interpret results correctly. You’ll run hands-on exercises with FIO in a provided environment and leave able to design benchmarks, execute runs, analyze results, and make data-driven decisions. Prerequisites: basic storage concepts and mid-level Linux administration.
