About StoneFly
StoneFly is the original innovator of iSCSI storage technology, with over two decades of experience delivering simple, affordable storage optimisation and disaster recovery solutions. Their product range spans NAS, SAN, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), and purpose-built DR appliances.
StoneFly solutions are designed to scale from SMB deployments up to large enterprise environments, so the same platform grows with your organisation. The air-gapped and immutable storage options shut down ransomware encryption attempts at the storage layer, while cloud tiering keeps storage costs sensible across the data lifecycle.
High-performance primary storage, backup targets, full DR infrastructure — StoneFly delivers enterprise-grade capability without the enterprise-grade price tag. All solutions come with end-to-end support and are designed for straightforward deployment and day-two management.
