StorONE
StorONE is software-defined enterprise storage for block, file, and object workloads.
What StorONE is
StorONE is software-defined enterprise storage for block, file, and object workloads. It separates storage services from hardware and supports iSCSI, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, and NVMe-oF for block storage; NFS and SMB for file storage; and S3-compatible object storage. The software can use standard hardware from multiple vendors or cloud platforms, with flash, HDD, or mixed-media pools. FlashSpan tracks access patterns and moves selected blocks between flash and higher-capacity media within the same volume while keeping data accessible. Data protection includes immutable snapshots, snapshot locking, replication, MFA, multi-admin authorization, audit logging, and encryption capabilities. StorONE says a volume can hold up to 100,000 immutable snapshots; vSnap supports point-in-time rollback, and vSnapLock prevents policy snapshots from being deleted. vReplicate supports flexible replication between storage systems, data centers, and cloud environments. The platform integrates with Veeam, Commvault, and Rubrik. Pricing is on request, and licensing is per drive, with upgrades and updates included.
