Enterprises wanting a solution to manage block, file, and object workloads with minimal operational overhead
About Sangfor aStor
Sangfor aStor is a software‑defined storage solution that unifies block, file, and object storage into a single, elastically expandable resource pool using a fully symmetrical distributed architecture, enabling on‑demand allocation of high‑performance and cost‑optimized, large‑capacity tiers to suit diverse service requirements. Available as either integrated hardware‑software or standalone software, it scales from just three commodity x86 nodes and supports cloud‑scale clusters of thousands of nodes with EB‑level capacity expansion. Its multi‑node parallel processing and intelligent caching (using RDMA, SSD hot‑data cache, and layering) deliver extremely high throughput, IOPS, and small‑IO performance, boosting cache hit rates to 90% and small‑IO handling by up to 65%, while distributed metadata management ensures jitter‑free handling of billions of files.

StorPool Storage
StorPool is a fully managed primary storage platform for businesses that host many mission-critical workloads in their own datacenters. We provide the easiest way to convert standard servers stacked with NVMe SSDs into high-performance, linearly scalable primary storage systems. Companies building their own public or private clouds use StorPool as a superior alternative to mid-range and high-end SANs and All-Flash Arrays (AFA). StorPool delivers above and beyond what is possible with other primary storage products in terms of reliability, agility, speed, and cost-effectiveness. It’s an excellent replacement for legacy storage architectures like mid- or high-end primary storage arrays and products that just use a software-defined approach to copy the base array, expansion shelf architecture. Exceptional performance, reliability and increased ROI from your cloud computing offering.
