Top 15 StorPool Alternative and Similar Softwares | Dec 2024

StorPool enables so called “converged deployments”, i.e. using the same servers for both storage and compute, therefore making it possible to have a single standard “building block” for the datacenter and slashing costs. An extension to this concept is having a tight integration of the software layers running on this converged infrastructure – hypervisor, cloud management, etc – known as “hyper-convergence” or “hyper-converged” infrastructure.

To start using StorPool you will just need 3 servers with the basic installation of one of the StorPool supported operating systems. Immediately after installing StorPool you are now ready to start using the system, create volumes, file systems and virtual machines on top.
