Accelerate Your Cloud-Native Applications
With StorPool Storage, powering your Kubernetes clusters just got easier
High-Performance, Ultra-Reliable, Scalable Storage for Kubernetes
As adoption of Kubernetes grows, more and more developers have started putting stateful applications like databases or key-value pairs into containers. This created a need for containerized applications to have direct access to persistent, stateful, high-performance block storage like StorPool Storage.
Kubernetes administrators who need persistent storage find it simpler to manage their entire environment with a single set of workflows and automations. They can’t afford to insert manual steps into their carefully-designed automated workflows. StorPool’s integration with Kubernetes allows workflows to manage StorPool block storage directly – creating and destroying instances, attaching and detaching volumes, generating snapshots, and more.
StorPool is efficiently integrated with Kubernetes and is provided as a fully-managed solution, deployed on commodity servers, monitored and maintained by the experts at StorPool.
Software-Defined Storage Built for Modern IT
 | Enterprise-Class Performance – No need to sacrifice performance or availability to gain the advantages of cloud development and management |
| Flexible Deployment – Support both KubeVirt-based virtual machines and bare-metal containers on the same storage system. Support persistent, non-persistent, and ephemeral storage, depending on your application needs |
| End-to-End Automation – Full support for Kubernetes interfaces such as the Container Storage Interface (CSI) ensures seamless management of normal Kubernetes automation workflows |
| Simplified Snapshots – Instantly create volumes based on snapshots and use StorPool VolumeCare to speed up scaling and enable business continuity in a cost-efficient manner |
| Effortless Storage Management – Set up automated workflows for everyday application tasks while StorPool’s Fully-Managed Service engineers take care of monitoring, management, and maintenance of storage, freeing your staff to focus on applications and end-users |
| Immediate Pod Restart – Restart Pods on a different host immediately. StorPool eliminates blocking and slow volume attach/detach, speeding up restarts |
“StorPool’s compatibility offers a big advantage over other storage solutions since Kubernetes has very specific requirements regarding system resource allocation so the usual best practice for Kubernetes is to run on its own separate dedicated nodes, apart from any other software, including distributed storage systems.”

StorPool Seamlessly Integrates with Kubernetes
StorPool provides persistent volumes for Kubernetes through its Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver. CSI is a Kubernetes extension for storage management, allowing Kubernetes to dynamically attach or detach nodes to StorPool volumes.
StorPool supports multiple types of Kubernetes deployments.

StorPool Storage Integration with KubeVirt
KubeVirt is a software tool that runs on top of Kubernetes. It allows for management of virtual machines (VMs) within a Kubernetes cluster.
This allows organizations to run VM-based workloads on the same pods they’re using to run Kubernetes-native containerized workloads.
StorPool’s integration with KubeVirt allows for automation, simplifying the process of creating and attaching storage volumes to these VMs.
KubeVirt comes in especially handy for organizations in the process of migrating their workloads from traditional VMs to cloud-native Kubernetes containers.
High-Performance Bare-Metal Kubernetes Powered by StorPool
Bare-metal cloud infrastructure represents a shift in the global IT industry as organizations look to build clouds that are simple and high-performance. Application offerings, including those for customer use and those for internal business processes are being recreated as high-performance cloud-native applications, enabling both their customers and internal users to achieve greater productivity.
Bare-metal Kubernetes clusters deployed with StorPool Storage are the most cost-effective way to maximize performance, ease-of-management, and productivity. With StorPool’s measured five 9s reliability, automation through our native CSI plugin, and our built-in backup and disaster recovery features, StorPool Storage is the optimal choice for your Kubernetes deployments.
“Kubernetes was engineered to address the complexities of large-scale, containerized environments. StorPool was engineered to address the complexities of data storage for large-scale, virtualized and containerized environments. With our support for CSI and our API-first management philosophy, IT operations teams adopting Kubernetes find StorPool a natural fit.”
