    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.

    I have not used such a powerful and flexible storage device as this platform. My experience with this platform has enlightened our team members on better data storage practices. It has secured our documents within and given our teams better file storage options. Excellent data backup and restore services have boosted our company growth since we can focus on other tasks knowing that our data is safe.

    • We have not calculated precise ROI. We focused on getting the best solution at a reasonable price, based on market research. Initially, we didn’t need a lot of capacity, so we invested in servers and network, which could handle several times more capacity, but bought smaller drives to keep the investment low. We achieved a starting price of $3.2/GB usable and $1.4/GB logical. Later we expanded the capacity by adding more drives to the system. Currently, the system has a price of approximately $2.3/GB usable and $0.99/GB logical and a price of $0.09/IOPS.
