StorPool has the most advanced end-to-end data-integrity mechanism on the market today. We have developed a proprietary 64-bit end-to-end data integrity checksum to protect our customer’s data.

StorPool offers a number of backup mechanisms. All users can create periodic snapshots in their primary storage system. Off-site backups and DR are also available through StorPool’s snapshots.

StorPool’s storage architecture ensures no single point of failure. The storage architecture gurantees its continous work even if a component fails.

StorPool handles transient drive failures by re-testing and putting it back in the cluster, thus saving time and headaches for the operations teams.

Upgrades between major or minor releases are non-service affecting and do not interrupt end-user operations, thus can be performed at any time.

StorPool volumes can be attached and read/written at multiple clients at the same time. This is useful to clustered, shared-storage file systems.

Your storage solution provides a triple data replication, which guarantees your data safety and durability. The system continues smooth work even in case of simultaneous drive failures or silent data corruptions occur.

The network topology and configuration ensure that the system continues to work in most network failure scenarios. This allows for network problems to be fixed without affecting the system.

Most system parameters can be changed on the fly without affecting the running system. Тhis is giving great flexibility while using the storage.

The network protocol for StorPool is designed in-house, with storage operations in mind, allowing it to guarantee extremely low latencies and full utilization of the network.

StorPool transparently utilizes two network ports, handling failures in a seamless way that is not dependent on any extra network configuration or complexity..

The system allows marking a set of nodes that are together in a “fault set”. Any fault stores a maximum of one copy of the data. This allows the “fault set” to stop without affecting the rest of the system.

StorPool has a unique way of writing and storing data on disks, so that we can achieve different data management features (such as snapshots) without affecting the performance of the storage system.

Data tiering allows users to make groups, (pools) of drives on which to place data. It also allows building of hybrid pools – copy of the data is stored on SSDs and redundant copies are stored on HDDs.

It’s possible to further limit the tiers by IOps and bandwidth.

StorPool’s storage architecture ensures no single point of failure. The storage architecture gurantees its continous work even if a component fails.

StorPool supports both converged and hyperconverged storage implementations. In the converged manner you have a single building block for your datacenters by combining compute and storage on the same node.

StorPool allows for some of its components to scale to multiple cores, allowing for a linear performance boost.

StorPool has drivers for direct use of NVMe devices. This architecture allows for very low latency when communicating with the devices, by bypassing the kernel and other layers.

StorPool does not store zeroes, thus saving space for empty or wiped volumes. This feature is part of our space-savings sets, which increases the ROI of your storage system and enables you to store more data on the same hardware.

StorPool has a low-cost space-efficient performant snapshots and volume clones, allowing for flexible use of templates and “golden” images.

StorPool has drivers for direct use of network cards, allowing for very low latency when communicating with the devices, by bypassing the kernel and other layers.

Volumes can be resized, snapshotted, cloned on the fly, without affecting the user operations to the volumes or the system as a whole.

StorPool offers a number of backup mechanisms. All users can create periodic snapshots in their primary storage system. Off-site backups and DR are also available through StorPool’s snapshots.

StorPool has a redundant, shared-nothing iSCSI target that allows it to export volumes to systems that don’t support the native StorPool driver or have specifal requirements, for example Microsoft’s Cluster Shared Volumes.

StorPool volumes can be attached and read/written at multiple clients at the same time. This is useful to clustered, shared-storage file systems.

StorPool’s API and tools provide convenient abstractions (templates) for easier creation of volumes with specific pre-set parameters.

Your storage system comes with a monitoring and analytics tool. Get advantage of advanced real-time statistics to analyze your storage capacity, utilization and performance. Keep better control on your storage system.

The QoS (Quality of Service), ensures that the required level of storage performance and SLAs are met. StorPool ensures best-of-breed technology and support for you.

One StorPool cluster can have multiple pools of independent or overlaping drives with different parameters.

Most system parameters can be changed on the fly without affecting the running system. Тhis is giving great flexibility while using the storage.

StorPool has a unique way of building hybrid storage solutions. It is called StorPool “SSD-Hybrid”, which keeps 1 copy of data on SSD and 2 redundant copies of data on HDDs.

Thin provisioning is a storage capacity saving feature. It allows you to provision more storage visible to users than physically available on the system.

StorPool supports both converged and hyperconverged storage implementations. In the converged manner you have a single building block for your datacenters by combining compute and storage on the same node.

TRIM, in combination with StorPool’s thin provisioning and Snapshots and Clones feature will extend the available space, hence will enable the use of the StorPool cluster by more users. This virtually means no waste of space.
