StorPool Storage – Agile Storage Platform for Managed Services Providers

The ideal foundation for cloud infrastructure serving the primary workloads of SMBs and Enterprises.

StorPool’s Enhanced Offerings for Managed Services Providers

Hyperscalers
Lock You In

Hyperscale cloud services providers are an option. But, they are notorious for their hidden charges and skyrocketing fees. Moving into “the cloud” is easy. Optimising your bills or moving out at scale – close to impossible.

Traditional Tech
is Low-Margin

Building a cloud on your own with familiar enterprise tech is an option. However, it is increasingly low-margin. Also, hiring and keeping the people needed to build a cloud is harder than ever and won’t get any easier.

Packaged Solutions
are Expensive

You could go with the cloud-in-a-box model. That demands high upfront investments, and supporting ageing appliance-based clouds is expensive. Doing forklift upgrades every few years also costs a lot.

The world is finishing the move to a cloud-like approach to IT.
To survive and win new business, today, IT services providers must deliver cloud technology and services.
