Choose your hardware
Use quality Linux servers and the NVMe, SATA/SAS, RAID, cache, and block devices that fit your workload.
Turn your Linux server into a high-performance SAN.
Use the hardware you choose. Scale performance with CPU cores. Deliver block storage over iSCSI or NVMe-oF—without capacity-based licensing.
01No vendor lock-inChoose and evolve your own infrastructure.
02No capacity-based costGrow storage without licensing penalties.
03Bring your own hardwareBuild on proven commodity Linux servers.
04Performance that scalesAdd processing where workloads need it.
A different SAN model
Storage freedom—without the traditional constraints.
Pay for the platform, not capacity
Expand from terabytes to petabytes without capacity-based licensing costs changing the economics.
Scale with CPU cores
Assign processing resources to demanding exports and add cores as performance requirements grow.
Use advanced data paths
Connect broadly with iSCSI or deliver modern NVMe-oF over TCP and low-latency RDMA networks.
Open architecture
One platform. Any block device. Standard connectivity.

Selective performance scaling
Add performance where it matters.
Allocate CPU cores to demanding storage exports and expand performance without replacing the platform or purchasing a larger array.
