What is StoneFly Secure Virtualization Platform (SVP)?
The StoneFly Secure Virtualization Platform (SVP) is a turnkey appliance, with integrated dual hardware controllers and advanced security and data services, built and tested for enterprise hypervisors, such as VMware, Hyper-V, and Proxmox.
The dual hardware controllers consolidate enterprise environments to deploy virtualization, SAN, NAS, and S3 target storage, and air-gapped and immutable storage, as isolated environments, in one appliance.
With the SVP appliance, enterprise environments can replace multiple dedicated appliances with a single unified appliance that provides more features at less cost.
How Does the Secure Virtualization Platform Work
The SVP appliance uses StoneFly patented storage virtualization engine (SCVM™), and the built-in dual hardware controllers to set up two independent and isolated environments, for the virtualization host and the target storage, that provide the same experience as dedicated appliances.
- Isolated Dual Appliances: Each appliance operates separately, equipped with dedicated hardware controllers, ensuring isolated security zones and no performance bottlenecks or latency.
- Versatile Configuration: The hardware controllers provide flexible configuration options, enabling solution architects to set up:
- Virtualization Host (Source): The primary controller (SC-1) is used to host the hypervisor (VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox), and production virtual machines (VMs) with support for iSCSI/Fibre Channel, CIFS/SMB and NFS, and S3 REST API.
- Secure High Performance Storage (Target): The secondary controller (SC-2) supports flexible configurations including synchronous replication with automated failover/failback, asynchronous replication, immutable and air-gapped storage, S3 object lockdown, immutable FileLock, continuous data protection (CDP), and shared NAS repository.
Integrated Security Features and Data Services
The SVP comes with the following advanced security features and data services that protect enterprise virtual environments from ransomware attacks and deliver high performance, scalability, and affordability:
Air-Gapped and Immutable Storage
Automated policy-based isolation for critical data plus file and S3 object immutability for a set retention period.
End-to-End Encryption
Leverage AES 256-bit encryption at rest, and SSL/TLS tunneling for data at transit.
Volume Deletion Protection
Protect critical volumes from accidental/malicious deletion. When enabled, delete requests are only processed after it has been verified via the trusted user security test (TRUST) process). Learn more
Variable Block Deduplication
Optimize storage consumption with 4k, 8k, 32k, 64k deduplication.
Immutable S3 Object Lock
Secure, ransomware-proof, and immutable S3 object hot/cold storage in on-premises or cloud accessible via REST API.
Synchronous Replication
Replicate critical VMs to secondary controller and automate failover and failback to ensure high availability and business continuity.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Secure system OS login and administrative tasks, such as deleting volumes, and editing retention period for an immutable repository, using MFA.
FlashCache
High performance NVMe SSDs frontend cache deliver faster IOPs for frequently used data.
Immutable FileLock
Store documents, images, videos, files, in secure and immutable file-level NAS accessible via NFS and CIFS/SMB.
Asynchronous Replication
Schedule hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly replication to air-gapped and immutable target storage for ransomware protection.
Anti-Ransomware Scanner
Machine learning-based daily, weekly, monthly detection and quarantine of malicious files. Virus database is regularly updated from the Cisco database.
Integrated Public/Private Cloud
Seamlessly integrated Azure, AWS, and other S3 compatible cloud with the appliance for cold-tier storage and archiving.
Immutable Delta-Based Snapshots
Change-based images, that cannot be changed, overwritten or deleted, and are used for full restore and granular recovery.
Programmable Recycle Bin
Up to 30 day retention for deleted files to prevent accidental deletion and data loss.
Automated Failover/Failback
Quickly failover to a highly available secondary copy, on the same appliance, to ensure business continuity.
Single Pane of Management
Manage the dual controllers, advanced data services, system resources, integrated cloud repositories, and more from a single pane of glass.
