StorONE, a storage solutions provider, has announced a new version of its storage platform to enable existing third-party All-Flash Arrays to serve as the high-performance flash tier of StorONE Real-Time Tiering (RTT).
StorONE targets high-performance flash tiering
StorONE Version 4.0 is a new architecture that builds upon previous versions, enabling organizations to leverage spare flash resources and retired systems as part of StorONE RTT.
According to StorONE, Flash now costs approximately 15x as much as HDD, with new flash hardware requiring a 9-15 month acquisition lead time.
This newest version of StorONE enables all existing All-Flash Array systems to serve as the high-performance flash tier by allocating a portion of their flash capacity to StorONE RTT volumes.
Meanwhile, StorONE-managed HDD capacity serves as the lower-cost capacity tier, and both operate together within StorONE’s ONE Volume Architecture.
“I’ve had the privilege of helping drive one major shift in enterprise storage before. At Storwize, we challenged the belief that primary storage couldn’t deliver meaningful capacity reduction, and the industry eventually embraced that change,” said Gal Naor, founder and CEO of StorONE.
“Today, we’re at a similar inflection point, challenging another long-held assumption, that the answer to growing storage demand is buying more flash. It isn’t. As flash becomes more constrained and more expensive, organizations need to get dramatically more value from the flash they already own.”
StorONE RTT powers record Q1, expansion across channel
Recently, StorONE announced Q1 results, with bookings and revenue surpassing the company’s entire 2025 results.
The quarterly results are driven by increased enterprise demand for StorONE’s RTT technology.
Further, StorONE reported significant expansion across both channel partnerships and technology alliances during Q1.
“Enterprise customers are no longer spending months evaluating storage efficiency strategies,” said Naor. “The combination of rising flash costs and severe hardware shortages has turned storage efficiency into an immediate operational priority. The biggest change we are seeing is the acceleration in customer decision-making.”
StorONE’s reduction of average enterprise sales cycles from 4.5 months to 2.5 months in Q1 was a significant indicator that enterprises desire immediate ways to lower storage costs and deploy infrastructure without waiting for constrained hardware supply chains.
Joint solution with Myota
Additionally, StorONE recently announced a joint solution with Myota, a cybersecurity and cyberstorage company, to deliver a new architecture for enterprise S3 storage.
By combining StorONE’s flash-efficient storage solution and Myota’s cyberstorage technology, the two organizations have developed a Scale-out enterprise S3 storage system that reduces the flash footprint while protecting data with advanced cryptographic security.
The scale-out enterprise S3 storage platform delivers:
- A small flash footprint in enterprise S3 storage
- High-level data security
- Cloud-compatible S3 flexibility
- Zero-trust data protection architecture
- No vendor lock-in
- Zero cloud egress fees.
“Myota was built to fundamentally change how data is protected,” said Jim Walker, CEO of Myota. “By integrating our Cyberstorage architecture with StorONE’s storage platform, organizations can deploy an S3-compatible storage system where security is built directly into the data itself.”
