Storage Guardian Cuts Data Center Footprint 80% and Power 78% with StorONE

As a fast-growing DRaaS and hosted backup provider, Storage Guardian was juggling nine cabinets, rising energy bills, and constant hardware churn. By consolidating onto the StorONE Storage Platform—a unified mix of high-density HDD and high-performance flash—they shrank from nine racks to two (-80%) and reduced power draw from ~45 kW to ~10 kW (-78%), while improving backup and recovery performance. 

What’s inside the case study

  • How one platform replaced multiple point systems and eliminated forklift upgrades and vendor lock-in. 

  • The exact footprint and energy savings—80% less floor space, 78% lower energy—plus the impact on cooling. 

  • Consistent performance across backup, disaster recovery, and cyber-resilience workloads, with simpler day-to-day operations. 

  • Straightforward scaling using off-the-shelf hardware and multi-protocol support to serve more use cases from the same investment. 

 

Storage Guardian now delivers better service with fewer racks, less power, and more flexibility—proof that efficient infrastructure can also be high-performance.
