Edinburgh is next. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2026 is coming to the John McIntyre Conference Centre, University of Edinburgh — November 18–20 — and the StorPool team will be there with a booth, a workshop, and two speaking sessions. A small preview of what we're bringing: — A hands-on KVM workshop with Venko Moyankov — A session on building efficient CloudStack infrastructure amid rising costs and hardware shortages with our CEO Boyan Ivanov — A deep dive on HCI vs. disaggregated storage topology with Stoil Stoilov More details to follow — but if you're planning to be at CCC, come find us. 👉 hubs.ly/Q04z0mPy0 #CSCollab2026 #CloudStack #StorPool #KVM #CloudInfrastructure #Edinburgh #OpenSource

At Dutch Proxmox Day 2026, Nikolay Tenev from our team walked through something every infrastructure architect is wrestling with right now: how do you build an efficient cloud when hardware is expensive, scarce, and slow to arrive? The answer isn't "buy more hardware." It's using what you have, more intelligently. Nikolay took the audience from a 20+ component traditional cloud architecture all the way down to 7 — same reliability, same performance, dramatically lower complexity and cost. And the numbers back it up: a 5-server, 2-switch cluster running 1,200 virtual machines on roughly 1.5kW of power. If you're designing or rethinking your HCI setup with Proxmox, this one is worth watching. 👉 hubs.ly/Q04zKbBW0 #ProxmoxDay #ProxmoxVE #StorPool #HCI #CloudInfrastructure #KVM #HardwareEfficiency

Dustin Group — €1.2B IT provider, 10+ data centers across Europe — replaced a fragmented, expensive multi-platform infrastructure with a single software-defined stack: KVM, OpenNebula, and StorPool Storage. One unified platform. Lower TCO. No more vendor lock-in. "We are very pleased with StorPool's ability to meet our special needs — they provide us with first-class support." — Dan Mårtensson, Product Manager of Infrastructure and Cloud Services, Dustin Group 👉 hubs.ly/Q04z0mzr0 #CaseStudy #Dustin #OpenNebula #KVM #StorPool #CloudInfrastructure #MSP

One of the most common questions we hear from teams evaluating a VMware exit: "Will we lose functionality?" The short answer is no — but the mapping isn't always obvious. ESXi, vCenter, vSAN, NSX, SRM — each has a KVM-based equivalent, and most teams end up with a more flexible, more cost-effective stack on the other side. We've mapped it all out in one place: a layer-by-layer guide from VMware to the open-source KVM ecosystem. 👉 hubs.ly/Q04z0mHh0 #VMware #KVM #CloudInfrastructure #StorPool #Virtualization #Migration #OpenSource

CloudSigma operates IaaS infrastructure across 20+ locations worldwide. When their storage backend started limiting their margins and their team's time, they moved to StorPool. 15% increase in gross margin. Stronger performance across all locations. A storage team freed from day-to-day operational firefighting. "To be able to increase our gross margin by adopting a new storage system and at the same time increase performance significantly, that's really a major change." — Robert Jenkins, CEO, CloudSigma 👉 hubs.ly/Q04vR1bv0 #CaseStudy #CloudSigma #StorPool #CloudInfrastructure #IaaS #DataStorage

Today's the day. 🎤 We're at Dutch Proxmox Day 2026 in Ede — and Nikolay Tenev takes the stage with a session on building efficient HCI with Proxmox VE in a world where hardware availability is no longer a given. If you're here, come say hello. 📍 Main congres hall - 24/09/2026, 🕚 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) #ProxmoxDay2026 #ProxmoxVE #StorPool #HCI #CloudInfrastructure #KVM

The VMware exodus isn't just about cost anymore — it's a strategic decision about what kind of infrastructure you want to run for the next decade. StorPool Storage with Oracle Virtualization together give you a complete, enterprise-grade alternative: feature parity with vSphere, sub-100μs in-VM latency, built-in DR at no extra cost, and 40–70% lower TCO than staying on VMware. Our latest blog breaks down the full stack comparison — hypervisor, management, storage, networking, and DR — layer by layer. 👉 hubs.ly/Q04vR6FM0 #VMware #OracleVirtualization #StorPool #HCI #CloudInfrastructure #KVM #DataStorage

The hardest part of leaving VMware isn't the decision — it's executing the migration without putting workloads at risk. StorPool One handles that. A pre-integrated, fully managed KVM cloud platform — compute, storage, networking, backup, and DR in one stack — with StorPool engineers running it 24/7. Phased migration, parallel environments, rollback at every step. Your hardware. Your timeline. None of the risk. 👉 hubs.ly/Q04vR7v50 #StorPoolOne #VMware #KVM #CloudInfrastructure #HCI #DataStorage

Dutch Proxmox Day is less than 2 weeks away. 🗓️ If you're working with Proxmox VE — or evaluating it — this is the event to be at. We'll be there on September 24 in Ede, and Nikolay Tenev from our team will explain how to use Proxmox VE together with StorPool Storage to deploy hyper converged infrastructure environments in which 85%+ of host resources are available for virtual machines. 📍 Main congres hall - 24/09/2026, 🕚 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) Registration is free. 👉 hubs.ly/Q04vR6y90 #ProxmoxDay #ProxmoxVE #StorPool #HCI #CloudInfrastructure #KVM

RapidCompute needed storage that could handle demanding enterprise workloads without adding operational overhead to their team — and it had to integrate seamlessly with CloudStack. StorPool's native CloudStack integration meant no changes to their existing workflows. Same orchestration. Same interfaces. Just faster, more reliable storage underneath. Since deployment: zero storage-related downtime and approximately 30 workdays saved per year. "Our experience with StorPool has been outstanding. We have saved substantial time managing operations and have experienced zero downtime." — Imtiaz A. Khan, CTO, RapidCompute 👉 hubs.ly/Q04vQQ-h0 #CaseStudy #RapidCompute #CloudStack #StorPool #CloudInfrastructure #IaaS

Our CEO Boyan Ivanov sat down ahead of the CloudStack Collaboration Conference to talk about why it's a must-attend event for anyone building on or evaluating CloudStack — and what StorPool is bringing to the table this year. On the agenda: a workshop on deploying StorPool with CloudStack, and a session on getting more out of the hardware you already have — particularly relevant if you're navigating today's hardware shortage or looking to move from another virtualization platform. Worth a watch if you're planning to be at the conference or just want to hear Boyan's take on where the CloudStack ecosystem is heading. 👉 hubs.ly/Q04vR1ny0 #CloudStack #StorPool #CloudInfrastructure #DataStorage #CloudStackCollaboration
