Kualo United Kingdom | Construction and Real Estate | 25 | $3M | United Kingdom | Openfiler | Openfiler | Cloud Storage | 2010 | n/a |
In 2010 Kualo United Kingdom deployed Openfiler to provide foundational Cloud Storage services within its web hosting and small scale cloud infrastructure. Openfiler was used over the years as part of Kualo's cloud and hosting storage stack before being phased out when scalability and performance requirements exceeded the platform's capacity.
The Openfiler implementation delivered core Cloud Storage capabilities typical of software storage appliances, including block and file service provisioning, iSCSI target support, NFS exports, and logical volume management. Configuration work emphasized storage provisioning workflows and filesystem export management to support hosting customer accounts and virtual server storage needs.
Operational scope covered Kualo's UK hosting operations and infrastructure teams within a 25 employee organization, tying Openfiler into the broader hosting stack and service provisioning processes. Governance was exercised through operational runbooks and iterative rollouts over multiple years, and the platform was ultimately replaced by other cloud hosting and storage platforms due to documented scalability and performance limitations.

Merit Network | Professional Services | 120 | $12M | United States | Openfiler | Openfiler | Cloud Storage | 2011 | n/a |
In 2011, Merit Network provisioned the Openfiler virtual storage appliance to launch its Merit Cloud Storage service. Merit Network implemented Openfiler for Cloud Storage to provide bulk cloud storage and off-site backups for its research and education members in the United States, targeting cost-effective, highly available remote backup storage for member institutions.
The implementation centered on the Openfiler virtual storage appliance configured to present pooled capacity and volume provisioning capabilities for institutional backup targets. Functional capabilities implemented included storage pooling, snapshot-based protection and exportable volumes to serve as remote backup destinations, with configuration focused on capacity management and multi-tenant segregation of member data.
Operational coverage was limited to Merit Network members within the United States and integrated as a centralized off-site target for member backup operations. The Cloud Storage service was operated as a remote backup repository that aligned with institutional backup schedules and disk-based off-site retention workflows.
Governance and rollout emphasized service provisioning workflows, member onboarding, storage quota management and operational monitoring to sustain availability. The stated objective for Merit Network was to operate Openfiler to provision and manage capacity in order to offer cost-effective, highly available remote backup storage for research and education member institutions.

Siam University | Education | 150 | $15M | Thailand | Openfiler | Openfiler | Cloud Storage | 2017 | n/a |
In 2017, Siam University implemented Openfiler to build a networked storage system for Thai Castor Oil Co. The project delivered Cloud Storage capabilities focused on organizational file sharing and backup and used Openfiler's web based management console for administration.
The implementation configured SMB/CIFS for file sharing and LDAP for authentication, enabling centralized access control and share level permission management through the Openfiler UI. Configuration work documented in the student project included creation of network shares, user authentication mapping to LDAP, and provisioning of storage volumes to support backup workflows. The use of Openfiler emphasized standard Cloud Storage functional workflows such as export management, access control, and web based configuration.
Work was completed in Thailand as a Siam University student project and the deployment demonstrated Openfiler's use for organizational file services and web based management. The operational scope covered file sharing and backup for Thai Castor Oil Co., showing integration patterns for SMB/CIFS file services and LDAP authentication rather than a large scale enterprise rollout.
