Springpath vs. StorPool

I have experienced excellent services throughout the period I have been using this great platform. We have been able to get [a] universal storage platform for all our data that enhances security for any saved information. Our team implementing projects and tasks from remote areas can easily interlink with our team members from the organization for teamwork.

Incentivized

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.

• Integration of data across the entire company.
• Updating all our team members on any new event taking place.

Incentivized

• Distributed Storage array with very high throughput in terms of reading & write operations.
• Horizontal scaling without much complexity of management.
• Easily integrate with OpenStack cloud.
• Doesn't depend on proprietary hardware, integrates with commodity hardware.

• The product is enriched with great features.
• I have not experienced any poor performance.

Incentivized

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

Springpath is the only platform that is unique in enhancing excellent networking across our organization. I have not worked with similar products though this platform ensures that internet connection between our company and customers is excellently managed. It gives us reliable and secure data center for saving all customers contacts for future use during email marketing campaigns.

Incentivized

We made a very careful selection of our storage vendor and solution. After researching the newest technologies, our team decided to deploy a software-defined storage solution from StorPool.

• It has performed effectively contributing to positive ROI.
• We have been able to achieve all our set plans based on proper networking.

Incentivized

• 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.
