DCIG Selects StorPool with Oracle Virtualization as a TOP 5 VMware Alternative
The shockwave from Broadcom's changes to VMware licensing continues to reverberate through organizations. Organizations can now find VMware alternatives available at more attractive price points that meet the specific features they need.
Distinguishing Features of StorPool with Oracle Virtualization:
Sub-100 microsecond storage latency: StorPool engineered its platform to minimize latency by directly accessing NVMe drives and network cards while bypassing the Linux kernel.
High-performance integration: StorPool’s integration with Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager (OLVM) improves performance while removing many configuration steps.
Flexible cluster configurations: Permits the deployment of compute-only, storage-only, and standard hyperconverged nodes within the same cluster.
Built-in backup and disaster recovery: Includes VolumeCare for granular snapshots and a purpose-built Disaster Recovery Engine (DRE) for KVM-based private clouds.
Independent upgrade paths: StorPool decouples its SDS from the virtualization layer to facilitate independent upgrades of storage and OLVM.
Fully managed service model: StorPool licenses its SDS as a pay-as-you-grow subscription that includes managed services.
