StorPool is a fully managed primary storage platform for businesses that host many mission-critical workloads in their own datacenters. They provide the easiest way to convert standard servers stacked with NVMe SSDs into high-performance, linearly scalable primary storage systems. Companies building their own public or private clouds use StorPool as a superior alternative to mid-range and high-end SANs and All-Flash Arrays (AFA).
StorPool delivers above and beyond what is possible with other primary storage products in terms of reliability, agility, speed, and cost-effectiveness. It’s an excellent replacement for legacy storage architectures like mid- or high-end primary storage arrays and products that just use a software-defined approach to copy the base array, expansion shelf architecture.
StorPool Storage volume management is integrated with Apache CloudStack to allow seamless use of the capabilities of the StorPool Storage system through the CloudStack GUI, CLI, and API interfaces. With the integration, the features available in StorPool get inherited by each cloud deployed with StorPool Storage – enabling cloned provisioning, instant snapshots, thin provisioning, and backup, disaster recovery, and Quality of Service (QoS) policies per virtual disk or virtual machine (VM).
Thanks to the way StorPool works, VM provisioning is nearly instantaneous and data placement policies and other settings can be changed in flight to address changes in user requirements. The end result of the deep integration between the two systems is that there is no need to manage the storage system directly because all the interactions between CloudStack and StorPool are automated.
Offers high performance and is scalable, allowing businesses to optimize their storage resources.
As a smaller vendor, it might not have the same market presence or brand recognition as some of its larger competitors.
