StorPool Storage is designed for workloads that demand extreme reliability and low latency. It enables deploying high-performance, linearly-scalable primary storage systems on commodity hardware to serve large-scale clouds’ data storage and data management needs. With StorPool, businesses streamline their IT operations by connecting a single storage system to all their cloud platforms while benefiting from our utterly hands-off approach to storage infrastructure. The StorPool team architects, deploys, tunes, monitors, and maintains each storage system so that end-users experience fast and reliable services while our customers’ tech teams dedicate their time to the projects that aim to grow their business.

StorPool Storage v20 offers important new capabilities:

NVMe/TCP Support

StorPool Storage now supports NVMe/TCP (NVMe over Fabrics, TCP transport) – the next-generation block storage protocol that leverages TCP/IP, the most common set of communication protocols extensively used in datacenters with standard Ethernet networking and controllers.

With NVMe/TCP, customers get high-performance, low-latency access to standalone NVMe SSD-based StorPool storage systems, using the standard NVMe/TCP initiators available in VMware vSphere, Linux-based hypervisors, container nodes, and bare-metal hosts.

The StorPool NVMe/TCP implementation is software-only and does not require specialized hardware to deliver the high throughput and fast response times required by modern workloads. NVMe/TCP targets are highly available – in the event of a node failure, StorPool fails over the targets on the failed storage node to a running node in the cluster.

StorPool on AWS

Using StorPool on AWS achieves extremely low latency and high IOPS, delivered to single-instance workloads such as large transactional databases, monolithic SaaS applications, and heavily loaded e-commerce websites. StorPool Storage can now be deployed on sets of three or more i3en.metal instances in AWS. The solution delivers blazing-fast 1.3M+ balanced random read/write IOPS to EC2 r5n and other compatible compute instances (m5n, c6i, r6i, etc.). StorPool frees customers from per-instance storage limitations and can deliver this level of performance to any compatible instance type with sufficient network bandwidth. It achieves these numbers while utilizing less than a fifth of client CPU resources for storage operations, leaving more than 80% for the user application(s) and database(s).

StorPool customers using AWS get the same white-glove service provided to on-premises customers, so they have peace of mind that their application’s foundation is running optimally in the cloud. StorPool’s expert team designs, deploys, tunes, monitors, and maintains each StorPool storage system on AWS. The complete StorPool Storage solution enables anyone to easily and economically deploy heavy enterprise applications to AWS, which was previously not achievable at the cost/performance ratio offered by StorPool.
