CloudSigma, a global Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider, turned to StorPool to modernize its storage infrastructure and deliver better performance, scalability, and reliability to its customers. With a presence in over 20 locations worldwide, CloudSigma needed a solution that could keep up with the increasing demands of high-performance workloads while maintaining operational simplicity and cost efficiency.
CloudSigma’s Infrastructure
The foundation of CloudSigma’s IaaS platform is HPE servers using Ampere ARM CPUs. They install Linux on the servers and provision virtual machines using KVM to build their cloud. CloudSigma developed their own custom-built cloud management application which allows for monitoring and administration of their cloud, and also acts as a self-service portal for their customers.
Before adopting StorPool, CloudSigma used traditional SAN and NAS systems for shared storage. This posed limitations in scalability and performance. These systems created bottlenecks and made infrastructure expansion complex and costly. As customer needs grew, CloudSigma realized that its storage backend had to evolve to ensure long-term competitiveness.
Enter StorPool
StorPool Storage provides a distributed block storage solution that delivers ultra-fast, linearly scalable software-defined storage built for modern cloud infrastructures. CloudSigma deployed StorPool Storage in multiple cloud locations and integrated it deeply with its own orchestration and billing systems. The results were transformative: StorPool enabled high IOPS, ultra-low latency, and seamless scaling – all while simplifying operations and reducing hardware costs.
One of the key benefits CloudSigma highlighted was StorPool’s support team, which acted as an extension of their own operations staff. This close collaboration ensured a smooth deployment and fast issue resolution.
The move to StorPool helped CloudSigma provide a more reliable and high-performing service to its end users, which in turn improved customer satisfaction and retention. With this foundation, CloudSigma is now better positioned to deliver next-generation cloud services with confidence.
Best of all, because of the lower costs of storage and the fully-managed service StorPool provides, CloudSigma’s margins increased by 15%, providing a clear advantage to the business’ bottom line.
For cloud providers facing storage challenges, the CloudSigma-StorPool partnership serves as a strong example of how the right technology can unlock performance gains, simplify infrastructure, and future-proof business growth.
