Happy upcoming World Gamer’s Day - we will be celebrating it precisely on August 29th!
Developing today's blockbuster titles and maintaining smooth multiplayer servers takes serious storage muscle. A single server crash or corrupted asset build can delay releases & enrage players (especially those who pre-order games…)

Open-E JovianDSS helps game studios and hosting providers ensure zero downtime, rapid NVMe performance, and bulletproof data safety. Check out our latest article to see how you can level up your storage infrastructure!

Ransomware has a new favorite target: your backup files.

If an attacker gets admin access, standard backups can be wiped in seconds. A Linux Hardened Repository makes backup files immutable, meaning no one (not even an admin) can delete or alter them until the retention period expires.

Read our article to see how it works:

6 years of IT market madness. How did you survive it?
From supply chain bottlenecks to skyrocketing component prices, data storage administrators have faced one disruptive scenario after another. Through it all, Open-E’s hardware-agnostic software has been the ultimate safety net.

Here is a quick look at how we’ve kept data flowing and budgets intact:
🔹 2020
While proprietary hardware lead times stretched into months, Open-E JovianDSS users kept moving. Running on standard commodity x86 servers, our software allowed admins to build and expand systems using what they already owned or components that were already available on the market, and also choose the most cost-effective options.
🔹 2023–2026
As the Artificial Intelligence boom sent memory prices through the roof, our hardware agnosticism, paired with efficient caching and logging mechanisms. came to the rescue. Admins fully maximized their existing storage, avoiding forced, overpriced upgrades.
🔹 2026
With critical shipping choked and proprietary elements stuck at sea, hardware production was limited. Open-E users bypassed the panic by optimizing their current setups and making smart, flexible investments based on real-time hardware availability plus the hardware they already owned.

We’ve had your back through the worst of the IT market volatility, and we aren't stopping now. Our mission remains simple: to secure, optimize, and brighten tomorrow for the IT admins all across the globe!

Dear Open-E Certified Engineers.

Let’s be honest: when your data storage runs perfectly, it is kind of taken for granted. Your hard work is often “invisible.” But the second a drive fails or latency spikes, suddenly your phone blows up, and everyone remembers you - and if you manage to properly solve the issue, then you get a word of gratitude.

Yet we know that keeping data available and downtime at zero takes constant technical vigilance. Your work includes managing systems, building stable environments that keep businesses running, and protecting them from different angles.

Your daily work stops major disasters before they even start, while others only rush to fix things after they break. I want to truly thank you for doing things right. We are proud to be a part of a community that includes such talented people.

Thank you for using Open-E Data Storage Software solutions. We appreciate your hard work not only today, but on every single day, as with a great amount of data comes great responsibility.

Happy System Administrator Day!

Krzysztof Kristof Franek - CEO of Open-E.
