High-Speed Storage for Demanding Databases
Achieve faster transactions, greater uptime, and simpler operations with StorPool’s ultra-low latency, fully-managed storage solution.
Slow Databases are Hurting Your Business
It’s Not the Database’s Fault
The most-often heard complaint from users is laggy applications – long delays whenever an action is attempted. These are caused by slow database transaction times. The biggest culprit for slow response time isn’t the database engine, it’s the storage system below it. The data storage used for OLTP databases must be low-latency first because every ms delay costs you revenue and user trust.
For highly transactional workloads where you need to execute millions of I/O operations to get a job done (for example a large database query report), latency is the highest-priority metric one should optimize.

Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) Databases
Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) is done with relational databases managed by a relational database management system (RDBMS) like Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and many others. RDBMS software uses Structured Query Language (SQL) to query and maintain the database.
StorPool also works well with Time Series databases (TSDBs) like InfluxDB, KDb+, OpenTSDB, and Prometheus.
OLTP databases and TSDBs are used for many things including:
- Banking
- Ticket management systems
- Order entry
- eCommerce
- Tracking interactions with web or mobile applications
- Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
- Supply chain management (SCM)
- Customer relationship management (CRM)
- Human capital management (HCM)
- System health tracking and monitoring
OLTP is focused on query processing, maintaining data integrity in Multi-access environments, and effectiveness as measured in transactions per second (TPS) or transactions per minute (TPM).
“The StorPool product is perfect from cost, flexibility (grow-as-you-go), and performance point of view. Second – and for us equally important – is the way the StorPool team helps us to build the most advanced hosting platform and their fast and committed support in case of an issue.“

What Will StorPool Do for You?
This next-generation software-defined storage (SDS) solution is the ideal platform to act as the foundation for your high-transaction database projects when you have tens or hundreds of database instances. StorPool provides all the performance you need – both in terms of low latency and high number of IOPS.
It enables you to save time and money by deploying denser infrastructure – meaning you need to manage fewer servers and fewer storage controllers, consume fewer rack units in your datacenter, and have a lower power and cooling overhead for your database infrastructure.
If you’d like to understand how our SDS solution works, watch the video below.
“We are very happy with StorPool. Performance is impressive and expansion is as simple as adding an additional node. Furthermore, all this is offered with a professional support team who also advises you on all aspects – from hardware selection to private cloud soſtware solutions – allowing enterprises to use inexpensive commodity hardware for building expandable converged systems. In our opinion this provides the best building block for computing systems.“
