StorONE has announced a significant development in its ongoing partnership with Storage Guardian, a managed service provider specializing in backup, disaster recovery, and cyber resilience. By consolidating Storage Guardian’s infrastructure onto StorONE’s unified software-defined storage platform, the service provider reduced its physical storage footprint from nine cabinets to just two, according to StorONE.
Storage Guardian offers managed data protection services using technologies such as Veeam, immutable storage, and automation workflows. StorONE claims its platform’s architecture, rebuilt from the storage stack up, enables support for any storage use case with minimal hardware. According to both companies, this consolidation has delivered improved infrastructure flexibility and performance, as well as a significant reduction in data center power usage and space requirements.
StorONE’s platform is a software-only solution designed to maximize efficiency. Its core features include support for multiple storage protocols, disk types within the same volume, and deployment across on-premises or cloud environments. According to StorONE, the approach eliminates the need for future migrations and can integrate with data protection tools for faster backup and recovery times.
Data center and managed infrastructure operators are the main application area. The reduction from nine to two cabinets, as reported by Storage Guardian, resulted in lower operational costs and simplified facilities management.
“Before StorONE, we needed nine cabinets to run our infrastructure. Today, we do more with just two,” said Omry Farajun, Founder of Storage Guardian. “We have reduced our energy consumption, freed up valuable data center space, and gained flexibility – all while delivering better service to our customers.”
“StorONE gave us a reliable, high-density platform that simply works,” Farajun added. “We have been with them for years because they keep helping us grow without adding cost or complexity.”
“This is what efficient infrastructure looks like: fewer racks, lower costs, and better services,” said Gal Naor, CEO and Co-Founder of StorONE. “Storage Guardian is proof that MSPs can simplify operations, keep data secure, meet sustainability goals, be mindful of ESG standards, and expand capabilities — all at the same time. This deployment proves that vision in action. By consolidating from nine cabinets to just two, Storage Guardian has drastically reduced its data center footprint and power consumption, while gaining the flexibility and performance to grow without compromise. This is the future of infrastructure: leaner, smarter, and built to deliver more with less. In one word, efficient.”
