StorONE, renowned for its efficient storage platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Viking Enterprise Solutions, a division of Sanmina Corporation and leader in high-density storage hardware. This collaboration aims to revolutionise the realm of storage solutions by integrating Viking’s advanced enterprise-grade hardware with StorONE’s seamless software-defined platform.
The new offering from this alliance merges cutting-edge technology to support modern storage demands, namely primary storage, backup, archive, virtualisation, and cloud integration — all accessible from a singular platform.
"StorONE and Viking Enterprise Solutions are redefining enterprise storage by combining cutting-edge hardware with StorONE’s unmatched software efficiency," remarked Gal Naor, CEO and Co-Founder of StorONE. He highlighted how their solution is designed to deliver exceptional performance, eliminate complexity, and offer scalability for evolving IT demands.
Recent benchmarks have reinforced the prowess of the StorONE and Viking solution. Tests conducted on the Viking VSS2249RQ system demonstrated an impressive achievement of over one million 4K random read IOPS at sub-millisecond latency, and a sequential throughput surpassing 33 GB/s. Additionally, the platform comes equipped with HIPAA-compliant, AI-enabled auto-tiering and inbuilt ransomware protection while supporting major protocols such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NVMe-oF, and more.
Mark DeVincent, SVP & GM at Viking Enterprise Solutions, commented on the productive collaboration, stating, "Our joint platform gives organisations a flexible, cost-effective, and future-ready foundation for their data needs."
This cooperative venture aims to assist organisations striving for simplified operations, enhanced performance, and eradication of storage silos. It provides robust support for diverse enterprise workloads, empowering IT teams to expand without disruption using diverse drive types and freeing them from any constraints of vendor lock-in.
