StorPool Block Data Storage Platform
Ultra-Fast & Effortless - The Future of Data Storage Is Here
Our next-generation software-defined storage solution is redefining the approach to data storage. The software converts industry-standard servers with direct-attached storage devices (NVMe, SSD, HDD) into pools of shared block storage. The Platform uses a parallel multi-controller, shared-nothing architecture with all functions performed by all servers on an equal peer basis.
StorPool Storage provides ultra-fast block storage and proven “five-9s” availability with the scalability and flexibility that can only come with a software-defined model. StorPool’s unique architecture eliminates the trade-offs in capacity and performance efficiency of previous generations of software-defined storage, providing an ultra-fast yet ultra-flexible storage platform that can support all of your application performance and data protection requirements with a single solution.
Ultra-Fast Block Storage
Accelerate your applications up to 10 times faster than with traditional storage. With latencies under 0.1 ms and millions of IOPS available (over 113M), your critical transactional databases will never be left waiting on data. And with up to 950 GB/s throughput, you can also support big data, video, AI, and other demanding workloads all from the same StorPool cluster.
Fully Managed
StorPool takes the uncertainty out of storage management with Fully Managed service – Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) under bring your own server terms. StorPool experts work with your team to design a system specific to your needs. StorPool deploys the system, monitors the behavior, fine-tunes the performance, and provides continuous maintenance including patches, updates, even helping with hardware refreshes or management platform integrations. Freeing your team to focus on your business.
Agile Platform
With the performance to support critical transactional applications and the cost profile catering to less demanding applications, the StorPool Storage platform can meet all of your current data storage requirements. Scaling your storage with additional storage drives or servers allows you to meet changing needs. And StorPool’s long list of integration partners means you’re covered even if you change your management stack or server supplier.
Unlock Operational Efficiencies
StorPool storage was designed from the ground-up to provide always-on data storage for cloud environments. This means an API-first management approach for automation, self-service and dynamic provisioning. It means no downtime for patches, upgrades, or even for server refreshes. Swap in a new generation of servers with the data service continuing to provide extreme performance and reliability – avoiding all the pain of a storage refresh cycle.
Unmatched Reliability
Designed for the always-on distributed computing world, the parallel multi-controller, shared-nothing system with no Single Points of Failure (SPoF) provides a measured 99.999% uptime to customers. From instant crash-consistent snapshots to three synchronous copies to a unique erasure coding implementation, StorPool has the architecture, the support system, and the features to provide you with unmatched reliability.
Unseen Total Cost of Ownership
When storage performance doesn’t slow you down, applications run faster on fewer server cores. This saves money in software licenses, power and cooling, and hardware acquisition. Combine these savings with StorPool’s all-inclusive, no-surprise, pay-per-use pricing and StorPool customers find a TCO like they hadn’t seen before.
How It Works
StorPool pools the capacity and performance of industry-standard Linux servers to create a cluster of shared block storage in a distributed, shared-nothing architecture. Data is stored on server-attached hard disks, SSDs, or NVMe flash devices. StorPool clusters connect via standard ethernet, removing any requirements for SAN switches or HBAs.
StorPool software consists of a server and a client running on each node. Each host can be a storage server, a storage client, or both. Connections from hosts and virtual machines is via the high-performance StorPool Block protocol, NVMe/TCP, iSCSI, or NFS.
