StorPool One - the Turnkey Cloud Platform that Just Works

Transition to an enterprise-grade, pre-integrated open platform that eliminates complexity and accelerates time-to-value cost-effectively.

Effortless KVM Cloud with Enterprise-Grade Reliability and Support

Every day, organizations are re-evaluating VMware as Broadcom ends perpetual licensing and bundles offerings into VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF). Many report headline-making licensing changes, core-based minima, and partner program shifts. As a result, teams are attempting a move away from proprietary virtualization stacks. 

Transitioning to an in-house KVM cloud is a smart goal. The challenge is the build: stitching together hypervisor, storage, networking, orchestration, and backup/DR is where migrations often stumble. Organizations hesitate as they envision a path that is too complex, risky, costly, or downright impossible.

StorPool One turns the path into a plan. Backed by 15 years of experience running hundreds of KVM clouds in production, our turnkey KVM cloud platform minimizes Day-0 through Day-2 risks. We design, deploy, tune, and help monitor and maintain your KVM environment on cost-efficient servers, with:

Accelerated Data Path: consistent sub-100 µs in-VM latency for fast app response times under load

Production-proven Resilience: 99.999%+ availability and failover/failback automation for DR

Exceptional Flexibility: uniquely eliminating storage silos with hyperconverged, disaggregated, or mixed cloud topologies

We also help your team handle the hard parts of exit and cutover – dual-run, conversion, validation, and DR readiness, so you can de-risk migration, reduce lock-in, and regain spending predictability quickly.

“We have been using StorPool cloud platform for a project to virtualize our bare metal servers. With StorPool managing the stack for us, it has been very stable and exceeded our expectations. From initial planning stage to installation and setup we have been very pleased with the responsiveness and knowledge of those on the StorPool provisioning and support teams. Knowing that the platform is managed allows us to focus on other areas of the business safe in the knowledge that it is being well looked after.”

Choose the Right Deployment Model for your Cloud

Disaggregated Cloud

In a disaggregated deployment, your hypervisor(s), virtual machines, and applications run on separate servers than the ones that run your storage services. This is the model used for large cloud deployments. It’s easy to migrate your data from a large storage system to distributed storage like StorPool.

Hyperconverged Cloud

In a hyperconverged deployment, your hypervisor(s), virtual machines, and applications run on the same servers that run your storage services. Since the StorPool Storage software only uses about 10% of a server’s resources (CPU and RAM), a hyperconverged deployment can be very cost-effective as it requires less server hardware.

Mixed Infrastructure Cloud

Organizations don’t generally start out with mixed infrastructure. They usually start off with hyperconverged infrastructure, and later, when their needs change, they realize they need to scale (out or up) their storage or their compute but not both. The ability to support a mixed infrastructure gives an organization the ability to add only the additional resources they need.

“Migrating to StorPool Integrated KVM Cloud on hyperconverged hardware significantly cut operational commitments allowing staff to focus more on running applications and less on managing and maintaining the hypervisor layer. We also showed a significant storage performance increase over our previous virtualization platform allowing us to do more with the same hardware capacity and the savings we are seeing from our power budget.”
