Apache CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2024 | Speed, Reliability & Scalability with StorPool & CloudStack
At the CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2024 in Madrid, we sit down with Boyan Ivanov, CEO & Co-founder of StorPool Storage, to explore how software-defined storage is transforming cloud infrastructure and why open-source collaboration is key to innovation.
StorPool redefines traditional storage by creating high-performance, scalable, and agile storage solutions from standard components. Their customers range from large-scale public and private cloud providers to MSPs and enterprises.
With the rise of cloud-native technologies, IT teams no longer see storage as just an appliance but as part of a software-driven, API-powered ecosystem. The shift to software-defined data centers improves speed, efficiency, and profitability, aligning IT infrastructure with business demands.
Why Do CloudStack Users Choose StorPool?
– Reliability & simplicity—powerful, yet easy to use
– Balanced approach—best-in-class cloud management
– Deployed by leading CloudStack users like Yotta and Quadris
– Enterprise-grade support for mission-critical workloads
Boyan Ivanov highlights the importance of a strong ecosystem, where vendors don’t just provide best-in-class technology but also contribute back to open-source projects. CloudStack’s vibrant community ensures customers have reliable long-term support for cloud management, storage, networking, and security.
Many enterprises are moving away from vendor lock-in and adopting open-source solutions to improve margins while still demanding enterprise-grade support. This shift is driving open-source adoption without sacrificing reliability.
While CloudStack is already technically strong, Boyan sees increasing visibility as the next big step. More case studies and enterprise success stories will further drive adoption.
StorPool has been a long-time supporter of CloudStack, and Boyan praises the event as an ideal size for deep, meaningful discussions. The collaborative energy, engaging conversations, and strategic roadmaps make it a must-attend for cloud professionals.
Watch now to learn how StorPool is shaping the future of cloud storage for CloudStack users!
