StorONE With Enterprise Storage at Less Than $0.01/GB

With a focus on achieving maximum results with minimum resources, and centered on software algorithms rather than hardware engineering, storage software company StorONE Ltd. emerges from stealth mode.

With a storage solution that costs less than $0.01/GB, the company is set to disrupt the storage industry by bringing enterprise storage to the market with what other vendors only promise.

Unlike other start-up storage companies that release products in as little as two years after launching, the firm is a technology company first and foremost and was built with the customer at the forefront by thinking about results. The product was built over a six-year period with massive research and is covered by more than 50 awarded and pending patents with a goal of changing the storage landscape by innovating from the ground up vs the industry standard of building on legacy software. The result is a company that has solved the most problematic storage challenges while other vendors address issues by simply adding more hardware, complexity, and cost.

Company’s highly-seasoned executive team has impacted the storage and networking markets with products that are highly regarded and being used in production by some of the largest companies in the world.

Company is led by serial entrepreneurs and pioneers in technology:

Gal Naor, co-founder and CEO, was the founder and CEO of Storwize, the real-time compression market leader that was acquired by IBM in 2010 and is now IBM’s key embedded storage technology.
Raz Gordon, co-founder and CTO, is a technology innovator and developer of the core algorithms at Galileo, the first to introduce single-chip, full wire speed Ethernet switching devices.

“Storage is a commodity,” said Naor. “A block is a block. A file is a file. An object is an object. There are no significant differences in the SSDs or HDDs in all storage systems. Some are faster. Some are bigger. All are commodity. The final bottleneck has now become the storage software stack. It requires way too many hardware resources to deliver what applications and users require for performance, capacity and features. That incredible inefficiency makes the storage commodity overpriced per IO/s, throughput and capacity. This is the problem that StorONE eradicates.“

The company is funded by institutional technology firms such as Seagate and venture capital firms GIZA and JGV, as well as private investors, and technology industry luminaries, such as John Thompson, chairman, Microsoft, and Edward Zander, former president, Sun Microsystems and CEO, Motorola.

Companies looking to resolve those issues can sign up for the firm’s Early Adopter Program.
