StorONE Files Fifty Patents

StorONE, Inc. was granted two patents in 1Q19, honoring the company’s approach to performance, enterprise storage that offers complete data protection with no performance degradation and lower costs than the cloud.

Patent No. 10198321 entitled System and method for CDP recognized firm’s approach to integrated data retention without compromising on performance, and Patent No. 10169021 entitled System and method for deploying a data-path-related plug-in for a logical storage entity of a storage system addresses creating, verifying and executing tasks that ensure availability of data in distributed storage systems. Both inventions allow enterprises to use their high-performance tier for complete data protection.

Among the patent portfolio created since the company’s founding, the number of the firm’s granted patents is now 33, with tens of patent applications pending.

The company has been able to gain approvals of its technology patents in a short period of time, due to the fact that it is based upon greenfield innovation and new thinking that lacks the constraints placed upon it by legacy applications. The firm has invested in R&D efforts to achieve performance with minimal hardware by achieving a transformational breakthrough in storage software efficiency.

Inna Novikova, patent attorney, partner, Reinhold Cohn, IP firm in Israel, commented: “StorONE’s patent portfolio is a valuable asset created to successfully support the company’s business goals. A high number of patents secured over such a relatively small period of time is indicative of disruptive innovations implemented in SDS by StorONE“.

Company’s patented technology can support multiple enterprise functions: it can reach performance from AFA, SSD and NVMe solutions, create performance multi-application secondary storage systems, supply persistent storage to virtualized environments, and/or use lower-cost commodity components to provide high capacity low footprint solutions. As a storage provider to enable performance, capacity and virtual appliance in a single product, the firm offers flexibility, with all options available, to eliminate the need for future planning – companies can grow their IT resources as they need.

“When creating StorONE, we had the choice to do what other vendors do and leverage existing approaches to simply bring a product to market, or to become a core technology company backed by disruptive new and innovative technologies that revolutionize the industry,” commented Gal Naor, co-founder and CEO, StorONE. “Our ever-expanding patent portfolio is proof that better technology enables better results. We have been able to take all the improvements in drive technology and innovation – high performance, density and price reduction – to new levels to deliver complete data protection and secondary storage in a single powerful solution with immediate ROI.“
