Make the Most of Your Available Storage Space with StoneFly SCVM
Virtual Storage Appliance
StoneFly SCVM enables data center owners to take advantage of the available storage space on their servers. Instead of buying new physical storage infrastructure, network switches and building a storage system, data center owners can use available storage space by using StoneFly’s virtual storage appliance.
With StoneFly SCVM, users can provision virtual NAS volumes or virtual SAN appliances on the available storage space thus efficiently using available resources instead of purchasing and setting up new ones.
Besides reducing the cost of data storage, our software defined storage also makes data management easier by delivering a single centralized management interface to manage all provisioned NAS, SAN and object storage resources.
Easy-to-Scale Software Defined Storage
Effortlessly manage and control provisioned virtual NAS and virtual SAN appliances with our software defined storage solution that makes scalability a simple process.
System administrators can add more storage capacity or repurpose unused dedicated storage space with a few clicks. Provisioned storage volumes can be scaled up or scaled down effortlessly and quickly when needed.
