StoneFly Enhances Storage Efficiency for Hosting Service Providers

 











StoneFly transformed storage operations for a New Jersey–based hosting company that struggled with rising costs, storage silos, and complex management due to the use of dedicated servers for each client. To overcome these challenges, StoneFly implemented its SCVM (Storage Concentrator Virtual Machine), a software-defined storage virtualization solution that allows organizations to create virtual NAS and SAN storage using existing hardware resources. With SCVM, the hosting company was able to consolidate workloads, eliminate the need for multiple dedicated servers, and efficiently utilize unused storage capacity.

This upgrade delivered major improvements across the data center. Infrastructure usage became far more efficient, unused space was repurposed, and the overall data center footprint dropped by 60%, resulting in substantial cost savings. According to Deborah, the data center administrator, StoneFly’s solution provided greater provisioning flexibility, streamlined operations, and simplified storage management through a unified interface. By centralizing NAS and SAN storage on a single server, the company achieved better performance, easier scalability, and improved control over its environment.
