Storage platform receives HPE validation for integration

StorONE's platform meets HPE's standards, enabling organisations to efficiently leverage HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers.

StorONE has achieved a significant milestone. The StorONE platform is now validated through the HPE Partner Ready for Technology Partner Program. This validation ensures seamless performance on HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers, offering enterprises a path to integrate StorONE's technology with trusted HPE hardware.

As data volumes grow and workloads evolve, organisations require storage platforms that aim to provide not only high performance but also adaptability. StorONE's unified architecture is designed to support these requirements by converging block, file, and object services into one platform. Central to its functionality is AI Smart Auto-Tiering, which optimises data placement while maintaining integrated data protection for resilience. When combined with HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers, this presents a scalable solution that ensures demanding workloads are efficiently managed and primes businesses for both immediate and long-term growth.

The integration with HPE GreenLake further enhances storage operations by providing unified visibility and streamlined management across both on-premises and hybrid cloud environments.

Benefits of StorONE with HPE ProLiant

Resilient Data Protection: Features like direct-to-disk writes, flexible per volume erasure coding, and an ability to handle over a hundred thousand immutable snapshots per volume.

Infrastructure Flexibility: Supports various CPU types, drive types, and network cards, thereby increasing returns on investment and prolonging the lifecycle of hardware.

Unified Platform: Eliminates data silos by managing block, file, and object workloads through a single platform, reducing operational efforts.

Cost Efficiency: Utilises AI-enabled Smart Auto-Tiering, which can lower storage expenditure by up to sixty percent and enhance utilisation rates to ninety-five percent.

StorONE has crafted an enterprise storage solution that aligns with today's economic and security demands. By employing intelligent auto-tiering, it reduces the dependency on flash, offering enterprise-level performance even as flash prices climb. This solution, built on a redesigned storage stack, addresses the modern industry's data protection and performance challenges.

Supporting a software-defined platform, StorONE differentiates software from hardware, functioning across all major storage protocols. Its adaptability ensures compatibility with any server, disk media, as well as on-prem, hybrid, and cloud environments. This flexibility, combined with partnerships with prominent IT hardware vendors, safeguards long-term investments and ensures freedom from vendor dependency.
