The world’s healthcare and scientific research facilities are at the center of the Coronavirus storm. They need our help. StorONE is offering free storage software for Healthcare and Scientific Research Firms. To these organizations, StorONE is providing our Enterprise Storage Platform at no charge for six months. Also, we will provide our solutions to any organization impacted by Coronavirus for three months, again at no cost.
How Can Free Storage Software Help, Right Now?
Free storage software for healthcare and scientific research firms only makes sense if the software can make a difference. The StorONE Enterprise Storage Platform can breathe new life into existing storage infrastructure or, with a very minimal hardware purchase, substantially improve performance and storage capacities. The S1 platform enables you to take existing servers and storage, and create a storage system for almost no cost that improves performance, eliminates maintenance expenses, and simplifies management.
For example, What do you do if your organization needs to accelerate the performance of your storage infrastructure but now finds itself with limited funds because of COVID-19? With S1 you can leverage an existing mid-range server, add four or five relatively low-cost NVMe drives, and thanks to S1 deliver hundreds of thousands of IOPS to applications that need it. S1 can then tier less active data to existing hard disk drives. Again for the next six months to a year, there is no charge for the software that drives the solution.
Improve Your Storage Infrastructure, Don’t Compromise
The impact of Coronavirus is forcing all organizations to make compromises. We believe that one area where you can’t compromise is your data assets. The S1 Enterprise Storage Platform not only improves performance and simplifies operation; it provides a complete set of enterprise storage services. These services enable you to meet all your storage use cases (Block, File, Object) and also all your data protection needs. Our suite of data protection services; S1:DirectWrite, S1:vRAID, S1:Snap, S1:Replicate, make sure your data is always protected from disaster, immediately recoverable and durable for decades. Think of it as a team of data guardians that help you become the Storage Hero for your organization.
Avoid Your Next Big Maintenance Bill
Organizations are suddenly looking to control IT infrastructure spend, but most have a significant maintenance fee looming on the horizon. With our free storage software for healthcare and scientific research firms or those impacted by the economic slowdown, you can avoid that bill for six months to a year. After that time, you will still enjoy much lower total storage costs as we move you to either a monthly subscription or perpetual license. Our customers tell us that a five-year perpetual license of the StorONE Enterprise Storage Platform is less than the cost of one year of their current solution.

Social Distancing Compliant Installation
Finally, we live in times where sending a team of engineers to get your storage system up and running is impossible and might, frankly, cause health risks. While free storage software for healthcare and scientific research firms is important, it is more important to get the software running and it allows you to not worry about storage as you tackle the challenges ahead. StorONE’s Enterprise Storage Platform is software that is so easy to install; we can guide most customers through the installation remotely via Zoom, Webex, Skype, etc. Many customers complete the installation by simply following our quick start guide. It is hard for them to believe that getting an enterprise-class storage infrastructure up and running is so easy and in so little time.
After COVID-19
At some point, the Coronavirus will pass, economies will recover, and business will return to some sort of normal state. If you take advantage of our free storage software for healthcare and scientific research firms, or those impacted by the pandemic, you are under no obligation to buy.
We expect that during that time, you’ll come to appreciate our platform approach, not because it is free but for what it does for you and your organization. If we’ve earned your business, we can convert you to a subscription model, where you pay a low monthly rate or we can convert you to a perpetual license. To assure our IT Storage Heros, we won’t surprise them with a high price later, StorONE will be publishing the price for our software online for all to see starting on April 14th.
