StorONE (www.storone.com), an Israeli storage software company, exhibits at VMworld in Las Vegas this week. Even with a booth, there wasn't lots of info as the product is not GA but a key message around high IOPS performance with standard SSD drives: "500,000 IOPS with 6 SSDs" with just software running on Linux or Hypervisor on commodity servers.The company was founded in 2011 by Gal Naor, founder of Storwize in 2004, then sold to IBM for approximately $140M in 2010. So far, StorONE has raised $20M from Jerusalem Global Ventures and Vaizra Investments and even Seagate has injected money in the seed round that should represents today 5%. The company has less then 50 employees today.
StorONE develops S1, a TRU Software-Defined Storage (TRU for Total Resource utilization) and you can find patents about Algostor. The company positions itself as a large scale storage software vendor able to deploy and run very large storage infrastructure based on commodity servers.
The storage entity built by S1 can then be exposed as a block device, iSCSI for instance, or used by industry standard file sharing protocols such NFS or SMB. The team also mentioned an unique erasure coding implementation. A following video exists on Internet, you get the idea even if nothing is really mentioned: software, SDS, performance, enterprise scale... More information in the future...
