Installations with no IT staff, a link too narrow to send the data ashore, and records that outlive the field itself.
Engineered in Sweden
The sovereign standard for European data infrastructure.
AiRE unifies block and file storage on one platform, protects it with immutable snapshots and per-data-set encryption, and keeps the same hardware in service for seven to ten years — not three.
- Unified block and file
- NIS2-ready controls
- 7–10 year hardware lifecycle
- EU data residency

The platform
Unified data sovereignty, resilient and built for Europe.
AiRE is a proprietary software stack on a storage-optimised UNIX operating system, running on the AiRE Unified Data Platform appliance or as a virtual instance.
Traditional arrays fix their parameters at configuration time. Changing them later means wiping the system or buying another one. AiRE instead creates an unlimited number of data sets across pools inside the same unit, each with its own encryption, compression, deduplication, redundancy and block size.
That is why one platform can carry a latency-sensitive virtualisation workload and a long-term archive at the same time, without either compromising the other.
What a data set carries
- Workload profile
- Performance, resilience or optimisation
- Encryption
- Applied per data set, not per appliance
- Data reduction
- In-line deduplication (SHA256) and compression (LZ4 or GZIP9)
- Protection
- RAID-Z or mirror topology
- Integrity
- End-to-end checksums to the root node, with self-repair
- Recovery
- Copy-on-write immutable snapshots and instant clones
Why STORViX
Four things that change the economics.
Each of these is a design decision with a cost consequence, not a feature list.
Infinite scalability
No forklift upgrades. Capacity and performance grow by adding disk expansion units to a running system, with block and file served from one unified interface.
- Upgradable with zero downtime
- True unified block and file storage
- Modular, adaptive architecture
- Single unified user interface
Ransomware-resistant by design
Copy-on-write snapshots are immutable once taken. Encryption is applied per data set rather than per appliance, and anomalies surface as they happen.
- Immutable snapshots with instant recovery
- Individual encryption per data set
- End-to-end data integrity with self-repair
- Two-factor authentication
Materially lower TCO
Up to 20 PiB in a single rack, in-line deduplication and compression, and a hardware lifecycle measured in years rather than refresh cycles.
- 20 PiB in a single datacentre cabinet
- Hardware lifecycle of 7 to 10 years
- In-line deduplication and compression
- Resource optimisation per data set
AI-driven automation
CloudSight analyses telemetry in the cloud; AutoPILOT acts on it. Profiles and policies keep data sets optimised as workloads change, without an administrator in the loop.
- Self-healing algorithms
- Intelligent provisioning
- Predictive capacity analysis
- Centralised fleet management
Deployment
Four ways to run AiRE. One operational model.
The commercial model changes. The platform, the policies and the fleet management do not.
Own your AiRE unit
Buy the appliance outright. The data never leaves premises you control, and the hardware stays in service for seven to ten years.
Storage as a Service
AiRE hardware and software delivered as a service from European data centre partners. Capacity when you need it, without operating the infrastructure.
Cloud
Move and access data across public and private clouds while keeping one operational model and one set of data policies.
Edge
Enterprise-grade storage in constrained locations, managed centrally alongside the rest of the fleet.
Solutions
Built for the workloads that actually cost you money.
Profiles and policies tune the platform per data set, so one system covers workloads that would otherwise need three.
AI and data-intensive workloads
Feed pipelines and GPUs from all-flash tiers without paying all-flash prices for cold data.
Hybrid cloud modernisation
One platform and one policy model spanning on-premises, cloud and edge.
Business-critical applications
Low-latency block storage for virtualisation and databases, with per-workload profiles.
Backup, archive and retention
Immutable snapshots on site, geographically separated copies in Vault.
Compliance-driven storage
Per-data-set encryption, retention and audit-friendly controls for regulated estates.
Industries
Sectors where storage decisions carry consequences.
Seven sectors whose constraints differ enough to be worth answering separately. The platform underneath them is the same.
Media and broadcast
Footage, projects and masters spread across storage islands, each one sized, backed up and migrated on its own schedule.
Telecom and edge-to-cloud
Edge sites and a core that drifted apart — different policies, different failure behaviour, and no single view of any of it.
Defence and security
Sovereignty assessed on the whole stack rather than the data centre postcode, in a market whose owners are mostly outside Europe.
Healthcare
Imaging archives that grow without pause, patient data that cannot leak, and budgets that cannot absorb a three-year refresh.
Government and public sector
Data sovereignty, decade-long procurement horizons and continuity obligations that outlast any single supplier relationship.
Financial institutions
Demonstrable controls, tested recovery, and an audit trail a supervisor will accept.

What changed for customers who moved.
IT and telecom services · Sweden
WE2U
Ageing legacy infrastructure was throttling nightly backups and could not scale with the business.
- Nightly backups 10× faster than the previous legacy solution
- 3× compression factor, cutting capacity utilisation
- Up to 60% lower monthly cost

Eteria
Hot copies of customer VMs had to stay available around the clock through Zerto replication, with a hard sub-millisecond latency ceiling for a key account.
- Sub-millisecond maximum latency achieved
- Compression factor of 2
- At least 50% saved on the investment

“Superior robustness and high flexibility. After having used the STORViX storage solution for 7 years, we can testify to not having had a single software failure that would have compromised our operational systems in any impactful way.”
