Best Hardware-Agnostic Storage Software – Germany 2026
For over two decades, Open-E Data Storage Software has pioneered the decoupling of enterprise-grade data storage management from restrictive, proprietary hardware silos with a software-defined storage approach. The Best Hardware-Agnostic Storage Software – Germany 2026 award recognizes Open-E’s mastery in transforming standard x86 servers into high-performance, Tier-1 storage arrays through its flagship Open-E JovianDSS. The company’s recent achievements include the seamless integration of NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF) and the perfection of Metro High Availability Clusters, providing organizations with unprecedented uptime and low-latency performance. By prioritizing a ZFS-based architecture, Open-E has established a new industry benchmark for data integrity and ransomware resilience through the use of immutable snapshots. This recognition solidifies Open-E’s role as a cornerstone of European IT infrastructure, proving that the future of data storage lies in the flexibility, scalability, and independence of the software layer.
