StorONE has launched Version 3.9 of its S1 Platform, featuring enhanced data protection, security, and performance. This update streamlines data services management and debuts TierONE, an AI-powered auto-tiering solution, redefining enterprise storage technology.
The headline feature of Version 3.9 is TierONE, which dynamically optimizes data placement across tiers. Natively built into the platform at no extra cost, it ensures simplicity, avoids compatibility issues, and maintains data integrity without external applications. TierONE provides real time insights and actionable recommendations, cuts storage costs by over 50% for inactive data without compromising performance, manages data movement between tiers in the background and allows users to configure flash usage for active data held in the flash tier.
“StorONE’s auto-tiering solution delivers Tier-1 performance with Tier-2 costs,” said Marc Staimer, CEO of Dragon Consulting. “By dynamically reallocating resources, the platform allows businesses to maximize efficiency and reliability, offering exceptional value in the storage market.
