StorONE Partnering With Mellanox

StorONE, Inc. partnered with Mellanox Technologies Ltd to leverage each other’s technological approaches in order to create powerful, scalable and flexible storage solutions.

These solutions achieve the enterprise functionality high capacity results at low TCO.

StorONE’s next-generation software-defined storage, TRU (Total Resource Utilization) storage, achieves maximum performance with minimal hardware because of a transformational breakthrough in storage software efficiency.

Mellanox smart interconnect solutions provide efficiency and value for these storage solutions. With TRU storage software and Mellanox interconnect solutions, customers can run at wire speeds of 10, 25, 40, 50, and 100Gb/s speeds, while reducing the hardware needed to achieve it to less than $0.01/GB. Using TRU storage software technology with a single 40Gb Mellanox port and 6 SSDs, users can achieve 500,000 IO/s.

“Modern software-defined storage solutions require high-performance, programmable and intelligent networks,” said Motti Beck, senior director enterprise market development, Mellanox. “Combining StorONE’s TRU torage software with Mellanox Ethernet fabric storage solutions improves the simplicity, cost and efficiency of enterprise storage systems, supports enterprises’ mission critical storage features at wirespeed and ensures the best end-user experience available.“

TRU storage is a class of SDS that redefines expectations in performance, results, functionality, convenience and cost. With this storage software, a customer’s hardware investment will match the rated IO/s, throughput and capacity of the drive regardless of whether it is SSD, NVMe or HDD. 

TRU storage software includes enterprise storage features such as unlimited, near zero overhead, instantaneous snapshots; flexible, low-overhead data protection; elaborate data retention; support for any workload mix (block, file and object) on shared drives; and support for any drive types in the same server. There is no need to integrate multiple storage solutions when users can get these features in a single software-defined storage solution that runs at wire speed.

“Adding more storage hardware to simply satisfy performance and capacity requirements adds needless cost, complexity and overhead,” said Gal Naor, StorONE co-founder and CEO. “TRU storage completely changes this dynamic, with a solution that allows users to run more applications with faster response times, less complexity and better data protection. Working with a company like Mellanox ensures that we are best positioned to change the enterprise storage game.“
