StoneFly SSO

The StoneFly SSO is a scale-out NAS platform built for massive amounts of unstructured data — think video, images, documents, research data, and surveillance footage. Unlike traditional NAS that hits a ceiling and forces a forklift upgrade, the SSO uses a distributed architecture where you simply add more nodes as data grows. Each new node adds both capacity and throughput linearly, so performance scales with your data.

The numbers are impressive: up to 18GB/s throughput and 6 million IOPS across the cluster, with individual nodes supporting up to 256 drives (2.5 petabytes each) and virtually unlimited cluster size. Automated tiering across NVMe, SAS, and cloud tiers optimises disk utilisation up to 80%, and immutable FileLock prevents ransomware from tampering with or deleting files.

For Australian organisations dealing with large-scale content — media production houses, surveillance operations, research institutions, oil and gas companies — the SSO delivers the kind of raw performance and scale that typically requires Dell PowerScale (Isilon) money. StoneFly gets you there at a significantly lower cost per petabyte.
