StorPool Storage Flexes ARM Support with Latest Ampere Compatibility

StorPool Storage announced that it is among the block storage software platforms to support the ARM-based Ampere processors available in HPE ProLiant RL300 servers, providing fast and reliable cloud solutions at a significant cost savings.

Built around the Ampere Altra family of CPUs, the ProLiant RL300 delivers high performance with a minimum physical footprint and superior power efficiency. Designed to support ultra-scalable, high-volume compute capabilities for cloud-native applications, this architecture brings predictable high performance, linear scaling and extreme energy efficiency for cloud and AI workloads.

“Ampere delivers high-performance, energy-efficient compute solutions for Cloud Native AI workloads,” said Jeff Wittich, CPO, Ampere Computing LLC. “The efficiency, scalability and performance advantages of Ampere processors, paired with StorPool’s block storage platform, will enable enterprises and service providers to optimize their storage infrastructure for modern workloads.”

StorPool’s enhanced data platform, with its latest ARM support enables customers to build sophisticated storage systems using the latest generation of hardware. Cloud services provider CloudSigma AG will deliver the 1st commercial application leveraging StorPool software running on Ampere-based compute fabric on the ProLiant RL300 with the Ampere Compute Zone – an Infrastructure as a Service solution that lowers capital and operating expenditures while delivering performance and enabling end users to do more with less.

“CloudSigma is dedicated to delivering next-generation cloud services for modern cloud-native applications, which is why we developed the Ampere Compute Zone and a disruptive S3 caching solution that removes the hidden costs of AWS data transfers and API calls,” said Robert Jenkin, CEO, CloudSigma. “To this end, we believe that we have created ideal solutions for cloud providers to increase performance, keep costs low and achieve organizational sustainability goals by using a combination of StorPool’s software-defined storage with Ampere processors and HPE ProLiant RL300 servers.”

StorPool Storage is designed for workloads that demand utmost reliability and low latency. It enables deploying high-performance, linearly scalable primary storage systems on industry standard hardware to serve large-scale clouds’ data storage and data management needs. With StorPool, businesses streamline their IT operations by connecting a single storage system to all their cloud platforms while benefiting from its utterly hands-off approach to storage infrastructure. The company’s team designs, deploys, tunes, monitors and maintains each storage system so that end-users experience fast and reliable services while its customers’ tech teams dedicate their time to projects that aim to grow their business.

“By extending the number of Ampere environments we support, StorPool is better able to ensure that our block-storage platform works seamlessly in an ever-increasing number of networking and compute environments,” said Boyan Ivanov, CEO, StorPool Storage. “Cloud providers that are looking at fast and reliable systems that minimize their AWS costs would do well to explore the Ampere Compute Zone solution featuring StorPool software running on Ampere-enabled HPE ProLiant RL300 servers. This kind of partnership solution ensures the system is optimized for cloud workflows while delivering the savings and power efficiencies providers crave.”

Demonstrations of this latest joint solution from StorPool, Ampere and CloudSigma are taking place now through March 20 in the KVM Compute Zone at CloudFest 2025 at Europa-Park resort in Rust, Germany.
