This document outlines the benefits of using StorPool One to build and manage an on-premises KVM cloud environment. The solution allows organizations to easily transition to an in-house cloud without the typical risks, costs, and complexities of stitching together hypervisors, storage, networking, orchestration, and backup. The integrated platform supports a variety of flexible deployments, accommodating heterogeneous servers, various CPUs, and both persistent or ephemeral storage.

Key advantages of the StorPool One solution include:

  • Enterprise-Class Performance: Achieves sub 100 µs in-VM latency, eliminating the need to sacrifice performance or availability for hyperconvergence.
  • Move Beyond Linear Scaling: Allows the addition of compute-only or storage-only nodes alongside standard HCI nodes, making scaling highly cost-effective by ensuring you only pay for resources you actually use.
  • Flexible Deployment: Supports heterogeneous hardware so organizations can add new server models and different brands non-disruptively.
  • Simplified Operations: Utilizes instant thin clone snapshots to speed up VM deployments and StorPool VolumeCare to automate business continuity.
  • Effortless Management: Relies on StorPool’s Fully-Managed Solution engineers to handle design, deployment, 24/7 monitoring, and maintenance.
  • Eliminate Storage Silos: Customizes storage to run disaggregated, HCI, or a mix of the two to meet specific organizational goals.
  • End-to-End Automation: Integrates seamlessly with cloud management platforms through a native plugin to easily manage automation workflows.

With StorPool managing all phases of cloud adoption—from day-one design and deployment to ongoing operations, continuous improvement, and updates—organizations can ensure their cloud stack is always tuned for maximum performance and stability.
