StorPool Storage, a leader in software-defined primary data storage solutions and Oracle partner, announced the first all-in-one software-based HCI solution integrated with Oracle Virtualization. StorPool Storage seamlessly integrates with Oracle Virtualization, which provides full-featured KVM management with straightforward, predictable support economics, while StorPool adds sub-100s in-VM latency and a rich data-management platform for always-on operations. The solution provides businesses worldwide with an enterprise-grade, automated, and simple foundation for their business-critical workloads.
The software-based hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution integrates compute, storage, networking, and orchestration to reduce the complexity teams face when moving from other hypervisors and HCI solutions or repatriating from the public cloud. It delivers end-to-end automation, high availability, and the elimination of storage silos, with optional replication for backup and disaster recovery with compelling RPO/RTO targets. StorPool Storage, together with Oracle Virtualization, provides the performance, reliability, and simplicity organizations need for all of their workloads, and when customers need to go beyond HCI, the platform supports disaggregated growth with compute-only or storage-only nodes that these customers’ clouds need.
StorPool Storage’s integration with Oracle Virtualization provides ultra-fast performance and efficiency for Oracle environments. The combined solution enables organizations to:
- Replace VMware Stacks On-the-Fly – Quick deployment of the HCI solution, efficient dual-run period, and an ability to automate migrations with minimal downtime.
- Optimize Costs – lower overall costs, while reducing vendor lock-in and increasing IT efficiency and agility.
- Enterprise-Grade Support and Fair Pricing – 24/7/365 support with response times as low as sub-1-hour, provided by StorPool and Oracle for their respective layers of the HCI solution, complemented by a pay-as-you-grow subscription model for the storage layer.
Since Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, migrating away from the platform has become a strategic priority for many businesses. However, rebuilding on open platforms like KVM can be challenging, as it can involve stitching together storage, compute, networking, orchestration, and backup/disaster recovery. Many organizations hesitate because the migration path looks too complex, too risky, or too costly.
StorPool Storage eliminates the headaches of complex integrations that require extensive manual work and deep expertise, with the potential for downtime. With a modern software-defined storage platform fully integrated with Oracle Virtualization, organizations gain a system that adapts to their needs in real-time – helping ensure high performance, resilience, and scalability.
“Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has fundamentally reshaped the global virtualization landscape, creating a cascade of challenges for organizations,” said Boyan Ivanov, CEO of StorPool Storage. “StorPool has been battle-tested in very demanding production environments for nearly 15 years, powering some of the fastest, most resilient infrastructures worldwide, while Oracle Virtualization is trusted to virtualize the business-critical applications of enterprises around the globe. Together, we have created a powerful, future-ready virtualization platform that keeps your business running at full speed.”
