ISS designs, deploys, and supports open-source virtualization, distributed storage, and disaster-ready backup for organizations across every industry that runs on IT — with engineers across the United States.
Founded in 1994 and headquartered near Washington, DC, ISS has built a worldwide presence through a network of representatives and partners — delivering senior-engineer expertise on every engagement.
Our reputation is founded on a long-standing commitment to excellence in designing, deploying, and supporting mission-critical business systems — with a deliberate focus on open-source technologies. We specialize in robust solutions that enable high-performance, scalable infrastructure.
We serve organizations across every industry that depends on IT — from Fortune 500 enterprises to government, research, and non-profit institutions.
ISS builds complete IT ecosystems — virtualization, distributed storage, backup, recovery, and disaster readiness — optimized for resilience and operational continuity. Our expertise across a wide variety of platforms lets us engineer environments that are fault-tolerant, flexible, and future-ready.
Each of these can stand alone — or be assembled into a full hosted or on-premise private-cloud stack with unified monitoring and support.
Open-source hypervisor deployments built for scale, security, and HA. Over a decade of hands-on experience and the leading US-based subscription & support practice.
Our scalable storage platform, powered by Ceph and tailored for mission-critical workloads. The foundation of our storage practice since 2013.
Private-cloud and off-site DR designed for continuity through failures, cyber incidents, and outages — anchored by STORCIUM B Node appliances.
We're members of the Linux Foundation and founding members of the Ceph Foundation — which means our customers get architecture, monitoring, and support from engineers who shape the upstream projects themselves.
Latest updates, security patches, and premium features from Proxmox — fronted by a dedicated US support team committed to fast, personalized resolution. Seamless integration into your existing infrastructure.
Customized designs that combine Proxmox and Ceph for optimal scalability and performance. Proactive, always-on monitoring. Expert support from seasoned engineers.
Unlock the full potential of Proxmox and Ceph within your organization. Contact us to learn how our subscription services and US-based support can help.
A mission-critical platform delivering flexibility, scalability, and operational efficiency — with the option to use your own hardware or a fully integrated ISS base.
Nodes, drives, switches, provisioning, planning, implementation, and operations — we cover every part of the system. Remote monitors instrument power, CPU, heat, drives, replication, and volume space around the clock, with predictive failure analytics.
STORCIUM B Node appliances are fast, always-monitored, and versatile — engineered to meet the most demanding data-protection challenges.
High-speed landing space for fast restore and retention. Remote replication to a second appliance or an ISS DR data center. Deduplicated vaults with up to 99% capacity reduction. Dedicated and ad-hoc recovery spaces; instant clones for parallel backup and restore.
Fully compliant with published data-security standards. Removable media is always encrypted with AES-256. End-to-end encryption available with a FIPS 140-2 module.
Integrates with third-party backup applications via block and file. Every component — hardware and software — is monitored and supported by ISS, reporting to our monitoring portal in real time.
We just completed an upgrade of our production billing system from OpenVMS to Linux, including STORCIUM hardware and applications. Alex and team provided guidance in the conceptual phase and worked closely with us to develop and implement the plan. I've been a part of many large implementations, and this one went as smoothly as any I've encountered.
The ISS specialists helped us with multiple projects and each was a success. Our SAN implementation took less time than one would expect. Alex Gorbachev possesses unique and unsurpassed technical knowledge and experience across a wide range of operating systems and products. We worked with multiple consulting companies over the years and ISS is by far the best.
ISS researched, designed, and implemented our migration, including OS, application, Oracle, and Legato Networker install. All work was on time and on budget without any downtime of our production applications. Upon completion, application performance more than doubled.
Definitely one of the better relationships we've had with a vendor. ISS has always been a reliable partner and does a terrific job supporting our systems backup. When we recently lost our Legato server, the IDRU service worked well to get our new machine up and running in a short amount of time.
