Storpool Distributed Block Storage

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

August 30, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We did 2 hyper-converged setups, connected to a redundant 10Gbit multipath storage network with SSD drives, managed by KVM and OpenNebula. The set-up runs mission-critical workloads and has high-availability and built-in disaster recovery (DR). We now use StorPool as a building block for new clouds .

Pros

We chose StorPool not just because of the better price/performance ratio, but also because StorPool managed to offer us smooth implementation without an impact on our production environment. StorPool’s biggest advantages are the high availability of the system, hardware failure handling, and performance. The OpenNebula integration and ease of operation were also crucial.

Cons

Cons - Support for VMware is with iSCSI at this point. This is fine, but we're waiting for the full VMware integration they are working on.

Likelihood to Recommend

Storpool performs well on block level (and that is what we use it for). It is not yet supporting a kind of distributed filesystem or object storage - a filesystem layer needs to be built on top of it.

Storpool Review

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

August 10, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have 12 active locations around the world and a number of new locations in development, which makes our case more complex. We were looking for flexibility in the deployment model, allowing to tailor the storage solution to the specific requirements of every location. StorPool’s storage solution integrated seamlessly with the networking and computing pieces. For instance, in Zurich, our largest cloud, StorPool was deployed in a semi-converged setup which combines converged all-SSD nodes (running both applications and storage) with separate storage-only HDD nodes. In other locations where the power density is lower, the optimal setup is different and in that case is used a fully converged set.

Pros

One of the attractions of StorPool was that it is a very technology-focused company and has highly talented individuals. We are confident, not only that the product was the right product, because of the design and the architectural aspects, but also that the team behind it was very engaged and had the skills and ability to support a service provider. For a cloud provider, the storage is a system which cannot be taken down, even for maintenance, because it’s impossible to coordinate thousands of customers regarding downtime. With StorPool, however, we don’t have to worry about that.

Cons

Graphical interface is for monitoring and stats, but not for operations.

Likelihood to Recommend

We do recommend StorPool.
