We’re making software-defined storage simple. SoftIron’s mission is to create the world’s finest storage solutions for the modern-day enterprise. And by finest, we mean exceptionally high-performing, scalable, flexible, reliable and efficient products that are really easy to use. In addition, we’re committed to making it more accessible than ever with our Zero Risk proposition: no lock-in contracts, pay-as-you-go subscription-style pricing, cancel any time. All of this is supported by our end-to-end, one vendor solution. We’ve custom built the hardware and the software from scratch, meaning you won’t ever need to mediate a problem between suppliers. The result is truly superior, turnkey software-defined storage solutions for the enterprise. HyperDrive is our custom-designed, dedicated Ceph appliance, purpose-built for software-defined storage. It runs at wire-speed at less than 100 watts per 1U appliance and out-performs the competition. With HyperDrive you can easily and confidently: - Deploy your Ceph storage cluster on custom-designed hardware that’s purpose-built and optimized for storage - Seamlessly integrate HyperDrive into your existing Ceph environment - Simplify and centralize the management of your storage hardware and Ceph software - Run your data center at true wire-speed - Futureproof your data center with an infinitely scalable SDS solution, free from vendor lock-in - Manage your budget with a flexible, pay-as-you-go subscription model - Optimize your rack and reduce cooling costs with low power, 1U from factor appliances that use less than 100 watts under full load - Take advantage of our end-to-end, one vendor support for assistance with software and hardware


SoftIron builds data center appliances that leverage open-source software. With Odoo as a foundation, SoftIron runs a family of public and private applications in order to run company's sales, manufacturing and production functions among others. From a publicly accessible product configuration tool that can price and manage up to 10 petabytes of storage, to an internal sales tool that allows complex system configurations to be prepared by a team of dedicated systems engineers. Internal uses of Odoo by SoftIron include managing product configurations, serialization, shop floor tracking and millions of dollars of inventory. The audience will learn that how Odoo can be used is limited only by their imagination and by leveraging both supported Enterprise Odoo, and the API, unique applications can be built and deployed both in private and public environments. Relevant modules in Odoo v12 that are used by SoftIron and demonstrated in this talk include Sales, CRM, Purchase, Inventory, Manufacturing, PLM
