Opening Up the Future of Cloud Storage: Virtuozzo’s Hybrid, High-Performance Solutions
As the digital landscape accelerates, cloud service providers (CSPs) face mounting pressure to deliver solutions that are secure, scalable, affordable, and compliant with data-sovereignty legislation. In a recent webinar, our partner Virtuozzo showed how their innovative platform addresses these challenges—providing a genuine alternative to established cloud providers.
A Technical Dive into Virtuozzo’s Vision and Capabilities
Virtuozzo’s Director of Sales for EMEA, Daniel Botha, began the session by presenting the most critical challenges CSPs are facing—sovereignty, cost, and performance. Most traditional cloud providers must compromise, delivering one or two pillars while others fall through the cracks. Virtuozzo takes a different approach: its vision is to provide all three, without compromise.
With over 24 years in virtualisation, a decade in storage technology, and nearly 700 global partners, Virtuozzo’s experience fuels its innovative solutions. The platform supports S3 object storage, block storage, and NFS file systems—deployable on commodity hardware for maximum flexibility.
Key Highlights from the Webinar
- Robust, scalable storage solutions: Virtuozzo hosts more than one exabyte of storage across 2,000+ customer clusters, scales up to 100 petabytes, and delivers more than 100 GB/s bandwidth. Capacity or performance can be scaled non-disruptively by adding drives or nodes.
- Improved performance & cost savings: Compared with rivals such as Ceph, Virtuozzo’s S3 object storage showed up to six times higher throughput, with steady rates of more than 10 GB/s per node—enabling faster backups, archiving, and data processing at a cost-effective price point through optimised capacity usage.
- Advanced data protection & security: Object versioning, legal hold, and lock features ensure data integrity and compliance without restricting third-party backup tools. Multi-site geo-replication and native encryption safeguard against data loss and cyber-attacks, with encrypted data stored securely within geographic/sovereign boundaries.
- Flexible deployment & multi-tenancy: Deploy compute-only, storage-only, or integrated clusters to match your requirements. Secure multi-tenancy supports resource allocation, quota management, and controlled data sharing across users or organisations.
- Data sovereignty & compliance: Headquartered in Switzerland with a presence in Singapore, Virtuozzo maintains rigorous compliance with GDPR and local data-privacy laws. Sovereignty focuses on keeping customer data under their control—on-premises or on local clouds—reducing dependence on hyperscalers and avoiding legal exposure.
Why CSPs and Enterprises Should Look at Virtuozzo
Virtuozzo’s storage solutions enable CSPs and enterprises to build private, public, or hybrid clouds that are compliant, cost-effective, and high-performance. With strong performance at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions, it’s a compelling option for operators looking to level up infrastructure without sacrificing sovereignty or scalability.
