¶ WELCOME TO THE STEELDOME WIKI
Welcome to the official SteelDome Wiki, the central documentation hub for StratiSYSTEM, StratiSTOR, StratiSERV, and HyperSERV.
This wiki is where operators, architects, and administrators come to deploy, manage, scale, and optimize SteelDome environments. Whether you are standing up a new cluster, evaluating a VMware alternative, expanding software-defined storage, or planning a hyperconverged rollout, this is the starting point.
SteelDome delivers a software-defined infrastructure platform built to simplify modern data environments. At its core is StratiSYSTEM, the operating system foundation that powers SteelDome’s storage, virtualization, and hyperconverged technologies across hardware-agnostic x86 environments.
¶ WHAT STEELDOME PROVIDES
SteelDome is designed to help organizations move beyond rigid infrastructure models, expensive licensing dependency, and hardware lock-in.
Instead of treating storage, virtualization, and orchestration as disconnected silos, SteelDome brings them together under one unified software architecture. The result is a platform built for operational clarity, scalable performance, and long-term flexibility across core, edge, and hybrid deployments.
¶ THE STRATISYSTEM FOUNDATION
StratiSYSTEM is the software foundation behind the SteelDome platform.
It provides the common operating layer that enables SteelDome technologies to run independently or together as a unified system. This architecture allows organizations to start with the capability they need today, then expand into broader infrastructure services without redesigning the underlying platform.
One operating system. Infinite possibilities.
¶ PLATFORM COMPONENTS
StratiSTOR is SteelDome’s software-defined storage platform, built to deliver scalable block, file, and object services for modern workloads. It is designed for environments that need performance, resiliency, and seamless expansion without being tied to proprietary storage appliances.
StratiSERV is SteelDome’s virtualization platform, providing centralized VM and cluster management, high availability, workload mobility, and direct alignment with SteelDome storage services. It is built as a modern software-defined alternative for organizations that want virtualization without legacy cost and platform constraints.
HyperSERV unifies StratiSTOR and StratiSERV into a single hyperconverged platform. It combines compute, storage, and orchestration into one operational model, making it well suited for consolidated infrastructure, edge deployments, private cloud, AI-ready environments, and mixed enterprise workloads.
¶ WHY ORGANIZATIONS GLOBALLY USE STEELDOME
Organizations adopt SteelDome when they need to modernize infrastructure without accepting unnecessary complexity.
Common drivers include reducing dependence on legacy hypervisor licensing, replacing aging SAN or NAS platforms, deploying hyperconverged infrastructure with operational simplicity, supporting mixed workloads on a unified platform, and building a more adaptable foundation for AI, data-intensive applications, and distributed environments.
SteelDome is built for teams that want infrastructure to be consistent by design, scalable without disruption, and flexible enough to evolve with business needs instead of forcing costly architectural resets.
¶ COMMON USE CASES
| VIRTUALIZATION MODERNIZATION AND PRIVATE CLOUD | Replace legacy hypervisor platforms and migrate VMware environments to StratiSERV to reduce licensing costs while delivering centralized, enterprise-grade private cloud infrastructure. |
| HYPERCONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE | Deploy HyperSERV to unify compute, storage, and networking in a single software-defined platform for simplified operations and scalable infrastructure growth. |
| EDGE AND ROBO DEPLOYMENTS | Run compact, easily managed infrastructure in edge locations and remote office or branch office environments without sacrificing performance or operational consistency. |
| MIXED WORKLOAD CONSOLIDATION | Consolidate virtual desktops, databases, and general-purpose applications onto a single optimized platform to improve efficiency and reduce infrastructure sprawl. |
| AI INFRASTRUCTURE | Support AI and machine learning workloads with GPU-accelerated compute and scalable storage for model training, inference, and large data set management. |
| HPC AND SUPERCOMPUTING | Enable high-performance computing and supercomputing environments with scalable compute, high-throughput storage, and software-defined infrastructure built for demanding parallel workloads. |
| DISASTER RECOVERY AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY | Build resilient multi-site environments with snapshot, replication, and failover capabilities to support business continuity and recovery objectives. |
| VDI MODERNIZATION | Build multi-site StratiSTOR and StratiSERV environments for active-active or active-passive resilience with snapshot and replication capabilities. |
| SECURE MULTI-TENANT HOSTING | Provide isolated, access-controlled environments for managed service providers, hosted platforms, or internal multi-department deployments. |
| STORAGE MODERNIZATION | Replace aging SAN and NAS platforms with software-defined storage that supports block, file, and object services while enabling non-disruptive capacity expansion. |
¶ BUILT FOR THE DATA REVOLUTION
A fundamental transformation is underway. The traditional divide between storage and compute is fading, replaced by software-defined infrastructure built for speed, scale, and adaptability. SteelDome is built for this moment.
From single-node deployments to multi-site rack-scale environments and edge infrastructure, SteelDome delivers the flexibility to grow without forklift upgrades, costly migrations, or operational disruption. No silos. No barriers. No lock-in. Just one unified platform designed to scale with the demands of modern data and compute.
This is not simply the next step forward. It is a new foundation for infrastructure, and SteelDome is built to lead it.
