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."
