SIO.CO Provides iSCSI Online Storage

SIO.CO,
an enterprise provider of iSCSI storage software, partnered with Deploid Digital Signage to provide
cloud-based storage solutions for digital signage content and digital menu
board videos, audio, and graphic still images.

As Deploid has witnessed its customer base grow, it has an increased need for
scalable cloud computing. Due to the company’s increasing library of stored
digital content assets for digital signs, they hold an ever-increasing need for
digital storage space, something SIO.CO was able to provide in ample supply at
an affordable cost.

As a storage software solution, SIO.CO
provides features which allow SMBs to build their own private or public cloud
architecture. The software is hardware-agnostic, meaning it can run free of any
ancillary server software as its own standalone OS. It also provides the features of a standard cloud computing platform including provisioning
tools, RAID configuration support, and automation for public and private cloud
integration.

The software also supports virtualization,
allowing online storage operators to work on any number of cloud applications
with the SIO.CO storage software in a virtual environment. Users are able to
install the software as a VSA or on bare metal servers. Even with commodity
hardware, users are able to obtain 3GB/s in sustained IO throughput.

By providing a secure and simple management
interface, users are able to provision storage pools in a way that allows many
disks to be managed as if they were a single pool. And since users are only
required to pay-as-they-go, they are able to save as they will only be
consuming what they actually need.

"The
SIO.CO system allows us to more easily allocate our digital storage needs which
are growing at an ever-expanding rate," says Deploid sales engineer
Stein Chu. "The SIO.CO solution
allowed us to perform what we needed at a fraction of the cost of other name-brand
solutions. We couldn’t be more pleased."
