StorONE today
announced that it is providing its S1 Enterprise Storage Platform at no
cost to any organization impacted by Coronavirus (COVID-19) until June
30, with healthcare and scientific research facilities at the center of
the pandemic response granted free use through October.
The
S1 Enterprise Storage Platform simplifies organizations' storage
infrastructures while providing a solution that meets all the objectives
of software-defined storage. The S1 Platform enables overwhelmed IT
departments to take existing servers and storage to create a near-zero
additional cost system complete with data-protection services to ensure
mission-critical information is always available, immediately
recoverable and remains durable during times of crisis.
StorONE's
suite of data protection services - S1:DirectWrite, S1:vRAID, S1:Snap
and S1:Replicate - makes storage invincible by ensuring organizations
can not only recover their information quickly but also retain data
indefinitely without impacting performance. This combination of services
delivers unprecedented protection from data loss, no matter the threat.
"The
impact of Coronavirus is forcing all organizations to make compromises
but one area where you cannot afford to compromise is your data assets,"
said Gal Naor, StorONE co-founder, and CEO. "What do you do if your
organization needs to accelerate the performance of your storage
infrastructure but now finds itself with limited funds because of
Coronavirus? For organizations looking to control IT infrastructure
spend, StorONE can help avoid maintenance fees looming on the horizon
for six months to a year while substantially improving performance and
storage capacities."
StorONE
makes it easy to get an enterprise-class storage infrastructure up and
running quickly. Because the S1 Enterprise Storage Platform's software
is simple to install, StorONE engineers can guide most customers through
installation remotely via web conferencing services such as Skype,
WebEx, and Zoom, in order to maintain a social distancing-compliant
installation. Many customers are able to complete the installation
themselves simply by following StorONE's Quick Start Guide.
Organizations
taking advantage of either of StorONE's free usage offers are under no
obligation to buy after their respective periods end. Those that find S1
to be a useful addition to their organization's IT infrastructure can
later convert their usage to a subscription model, with pricing
available via a low monthly rate, or through a one-time perpetual
license. Pricing for StorONE software usage after the free-license
period will be published online on April 14. Most users of S1 find that a
five-year perpetual license is less than the cost of one year of their
current solution.
