StorPool is a leading software provider that develops the most reliable and speedy storage platform on the market. Public and private cloud builders - Managed Services Providers, Hosting Services Providers, Cloud Services Providers, enterprises, and SaaS vendors - use StorPool Storage as the foundation for their clouds. StorPool converts sets of standard servers into primary storage systems for large-scale cloud infrastructure. The software comes as an utterly hands-off solution - we architect, deploy, tune, monitor, and maintain your StorPool Storage system so that your users experience a speedy and reliable service.
StorPool Storage systems are ideal for storing and managing the data of primary workloads that demand extreme reliability and low latency - databases, web servers, virtual desktops, real-time analytics, and mission-critical software. StorPool simplifies our customers&rsquo; cloud infrastructure, removes all the pains they experienced with legacy storage products, and supercharges their revenue and profits.
Our customers&rsquo; specific benefits from StorPool Storage vary depending on their use cases, technology stacks, and scale. However, the core capabilities of StorPool are that it is reliable, agile, managed with ease, utterly hands-off, and speedy.
Under the hood, StorPool builds out shared-storage pools out of DC-grade storage drives directly attached to standard servers to create the ultimate storage solution. These pools provide standard block device interfaces to the virtualised, containerised, or bare-metal workloads running in a cloud. StorPool has native plug-ins for Cloud Management Platforms like OpenStack, OpenNebula, CloudStack, Kubernetes, and OnApp. It also supports VMware, Oracle VM, Hyper-V, XenServer, and almost all other technology stacks.
We designed StorPool Storage for large-scale deployments, but it has efficient resource consumption and can start small. Each cluster scales seamlessly online - adding drives or servers expands both its capacity and performance. Adjusting StorPool volume size and performance also happens online without disrupting user workloads. The updates for StorPool are also carried out online, without any interruptions to your services. StorPool doesn&rsquo;t need specialised hardware components to deliver all of the above.
 Since its establishment, StorPool has changed how companies operate and store their data. As a company providing storage services for enterprises and cloud providers globally, we have the mission to make data storage more reliable, cost-efficient, and secure for companies. As an innovative product on the market, we changed the way companies store data and empowered them to transform traditional hardware into high-performance and highly available software-defined storage systems.

UI Test Cases With CloudStack

CloudStack&rsquo;s VM placement policies don&rsquo;t fit the current need of the industry. We have to create external tools to load balance VMs on hosts. We have an idea (which is under heavy development) to implement an AI algorithm to manage VM placement on a host. The algorithm is triggered based on a criteria (like when there is no place for a VM with 64G Ram and 32 core), which results in changing the placement of the VMs on a system. I am looking forward to sharing this idea with the community and getting their feedback.
My name is Sina, I'm a software engineer with a passion for distributed applications, computer networks, and the cloud. To turn my passion into a career, I joined Computer Network Lab at my university as a research assistant and developed various network and cloud tools. After that, I joined the LeaseWeb company to expand my knowledge of complex production cloud environments. Currently, I am the Software Engineer in the CloudStack team of LeaseWeb. I&rsquo;m responsible for all the infrastructure and management tasks for our public and private cloud, which runs in 8 regions in 7 different countries on 3 different continents.
