StorageOS

Headquartered in London, England, StorageOS is a software-defined cloud native storage platform delivering persistent storage for Kubernetes. StorageOS is built from the ground-up with no legacy restrictions to give enterprises working with cloud native workloads a scalable storage platform with no compromise on performance, availability or security. Their Salient Features: Deterministic performance - Predictable low latency for databases and other stateful applications; Data locality - Application workloads are automatically placed on nodes that have a local copy of the application data. This improves application performance by reducing latency; In-memory caching - Speed up access to volumes even if volumes are located on a remote node; Quality of service - Prioritize data traffic and address the “noisy neighbours” problem; StorageOS Delta Sync - Reduces the time to recovery allowing rapid cluster convergence by only replicating the missed data to the node; Synchronous replication for high availability - Quickly recover applications and databases. Volumes are accessible across the entire cluster providing high availability, durability, and consistency of application data; Disaggregated consensus - Each volume independently manages placement and recovery – reducing blast radius and increasing reliability in today’s complex, noisy environments; Cloud native control plane - Performs volume provisioning and cluster operations in milliseconds, enabling complex workloads in large clusters; Encryption - Ensure your data is safe at rest, and on the wire, with our powerful industry standard AES encryption. Keys are unique per volume and stored as Kubernetes secrets; Secure by default - StorageOS enables security at every layer of the stack with automated certificate management, secure endpoints and encryption of data between nodes; Access controls - Support multi-tenancy – full integration with Kubernetes namespaces and Role Based Access Control. Dynamic provisioning - Dynamically provision self-service storage using Kubernetes CSI, StorageClasses and Persistent Volumes Claims. Declarative configuration makes life simple for engineers; Volume management - Flexible volume configuration. All features can be applied granularly per volume; Thin provisioning - Only use the disk space you need in a storage pool; Data compression - Transparent inline data compression to reduce the amount of storage used in a backing store as well as reducing the network bandwidth requirements for replication; Block checksums - Each block is protected by a checksum which automatically detects any corruption of data in the underlying storage media; Storage pooling - Pool storage from multiple nodes into a cluster-wide storage pool with a global volume namespace.
