SOFIA, Bulgaria, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

    StorPool Storage [https://storpool.com/] today announced that Namecheap,

the world's second-largest domain retailer and global hosting provider,

selected its software-defined storage solution as part of a new hyperconverged

infrastructure (HCI) platform that increases the speed and reliability of

Namecheap's services to better retain and attract customers.

    With more than 13 million domains managed and a robust roster of services,

Namecheap is a trusted partner for businesses worldwide. The company's legacy

architecture consisted of a fleet of bare-metal servers with local storage,

which occasionally resulted in "noisy neighbor" issues where some users'

workloads consumed too much server resources. This led to the potential of

service disruptions for other users and additional problems like single points

of failure and downtimes during server upgrades.

    Wanting to build a next-generation hosting service with improved

availability and reliability, Namecheap chose to go with an HCI deployment with

StorPool's software running together with compute workloads on Supermicro

servers with 64-core AMD EPYC™ 7742 processors and NVMe SSDs.

    "Our highest priority is keeping our customers'  data safe and secure,"

said Max Semenyaka, Technical Operations Manager at Namecheap. "That is why we

chose the StorPool solution, based on AMD processors, providing high

performance combined with impressive fault tolerance and data availability

rates."

    The new StorPool-powered solution provides a significant boost in

performance and accomplishes positive results in key metrics Namecheap was

looking for. The solution delivers exceptional IOPS at low latency while

consuming very few CPU cores and memory, enabling effective utilization of the

hardware resources.

    The new cloud infrastructure delivers the reliability and availability

crucial for Namecheap to retain its customers and attract new users. StorPool

allows Namecheap to perform planned hardware maintenance with no downtime,

speeds up new virtual machine deployments, and ensures maximum performance at

scale. Additionally, StorPool's operations team provides timely assistance for

all aspects of the storage layer at Namecheap so that its technical team no

longer has to maintain the storage system.

    "We are pleased that one of the world's largest hosting providers chose us

to help them achieve fast and reliable primary storage deployed concurrently

with shared hosting workloads," said Boyan Ivanov, CEO and co-founder of

StorPool Storage. "Namecheap's decision to move to an advanced HCI architecture

based on AMD EPYC™ processors and StorPool's agile storage platform enabled

them to achieve a plethora of benefits for their customers."
