A new Performance Benchmarking Report evaluating four leading Kubernetes-based cloud native storage solutions has placed StorageOS ahead of Cloud Native Storage technologies from Longhorn, Rook/Ceph and OpenEBS.

The study, which was carried out by ArchitectingIT, tested each product against latency, throughput and bandwidth metrics, with StorageOS demonstrating the strongest set of results across each category.

The tests show that StorageOS performed better across all benchmarks compared to the three competitors, with a set of results in local read performance — with and without a mirrored replica.

From the same set of hardware resources, StorageOS delivered greater throughput and bandwidth — and with lower I/O latency than each of the other solutions.

According to the company, StorageOS provides fast, scalable, software-based block storage with rapid failover, replication, in-memory cache, data reduction and a built-in rules-engine.

The news comes off the back of a $10 million Series B funding round designed to build on growth, which has seen more than 4,000 customers globally implement the StorageOS software-defined storage solution.

The company will now invest further in its go-to-market strategy and scale its sales and customer facing technology teams to build its customer base and revenue.
