StorPool Launches First Disaster Recovery Engine for KVM-based Clouds

In a significant advancement for cloud services, StorPool Storage has unveiled the industry’s first Disaster Recovery Engine (DRE) tailored specifically for KVM-based cloud infrastructures. This innovative solution allows IT service providers and businesses to recover virtual machines (VMs) in mere minutes, ensuring business continuity following a disaster event.

The new StorPool DRE integrates seamlessly into the cloud environments built on the widely-used Linux KVM hypervisor, offering a user-friendly approach to configuring and executing disaster recovery services. With the ability to accommodate environments ranging from tens to thousands of VMs, the DRE simplifies complex recovery scenarios including one-to-many and many-to-many recovery operations. Businesses now benefit from enhanced recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO), allowing them to maintain uninterrupted operations during unexpected events.

Prior to this development, similar functionalities were predominantly available in other ecosystems like VMware, often accompanied by high implementation costs and complexities that deterred businesses from adopting KVM hypervisors. StorPool’s integration with popular KVM Cloud Management Platforms such as CloudStack, OpenNebula, OpenStack, and Proxmox marks a transformative step in simplifying disaster recovery processes for enterprises.

Prominent industry leaders like Imtiaz Khan, Chief Technology Officer at RapidCompute, have recognized the pivotal role StorPool’s DRE plays in advancing their service offerings. “With StorPool's DR capabilities, we can ensure the rapid recovery of customer workloads, thus providing peace of mind during outages,” said Khan. This sentiment is echoed by Robert Jenkin, CEO of CloudSigma, who noted StorPool's long-standing expertise in delivering dependable storage solutions.

Boyan Ivanov, the CEO of StorPool, emphasized the commitment to innovation in their service offerings, underscoring the advantages of their fully managed storage service, which includes dedicated teams to design, deploy, and maintain the systems. “Our focus on adding cutting-edge capabilities ensures our clients can meet their stringent business continuity requirements,” Ivanov remarked.

The StorPool DRE is currently in public beta phase, with plans for general availability expected in the second quarter of 2025. This product introduction symbolizes a leap forward towards greater operational resilience for businesses that rely on cloud infrastructure.

By transforming standard hardware into high-performance, highly available storage systems, StorPool positions itself at the forefront of the cloud storage industry.
