About Open-E Data Storage Software

Why Open-E Products?

Open-E was founded to challenge a fundamental flaw in the enterprise storage market: the forced choice between proprietary, restrictive "black box" solutions and the necessary control demanded by technical experts.

Our core mission has been to equip the most knowledgeable infrastructure professionals: the architects, the consultants, the decision-makers, with superior, hardware-agnostic software that enables them to realize their own vision for data resilience.

We reject the idea that complex problems require "easy-to-use" abstractions. We believe they require a mastered, tailored solution.
