The Internet Went Down. The Trading Desk Didn't Notice.
For a trading firm, a few seconds offline during market hours isn't an inconvenience. It's a missed trade. This firm had two internet lines and one rule above everything else: the trading desk must never go dark. Their old router couldn't keep that promise. One IOPSTOR firewall could.

Port 8080, open to Meta and no one else
A client's new WhatsApp integration needs port 8080 open to the internet. When they opened that port last year for something else, malware attacks took their production server down. Because they already run an IOPSTOR HCI server, the fix needs no new hardware. The firewall runs as one more virtual machine on that server, and it lets port 8080 in from Meta's servers only.

Two offices, one network
A client with a main office and a branch wanted staff at either site to work as if they were sitting in the other. We put an IOPSTOR firewall at each office and joined them with one encrypted tunnel, running over the internet lines they already had.

A post-production company grows from 8 people to 100 on IOPStor storage
Eight people passing files from hand to hand became a hundred across video editing, 3D and After Effects, working from IOPStor storage that gives each department its own pool and its own bandwidth.
07HealthcareNAS
After its 100 TB RAID failed, a hospital chose IOPStor for storage it can rely on
The hospital's 100 TB RAID failed, and the company that supplied it would not repair it. IOPStor replaced it with a 100 TB NAS and a single compute node, protected by snapshots and a disaster-recovery system that keeps a copy offsite in the cloud.

Six branches and a hundred users on one IOPStor hyper-converged system
A manufacturer whose branches each held their own copy of the data now runs six sites on a single IOPStor hyper-converged system, with every employee working inside it through VMware Horizon.

Three hundred people sign in at nine, and nothing slows down
Three hundred people signing in within minutes of each other brought a spinning-disk file server to its knees. Software-defined storage on enterprise SSD absorbed the peak, and has done for three years.
18LogisticsVirtualization
Nine days a year down, then seven years without one
A logistics firm's 200 staff lost nine days a year to malware. IOPStor moved their remote desktops onto snapshotted virtual machines, with nothing to relearn.
