High Performance Data Warehouse Storage

Data warehouses are used to collect and analyze data quickly. Scaling storage for those systems is hard and expensive.

Simplyblock enables to grow with the data, without the need for extensive upfront planning, and 60% (and more) cheaper than typical Amazon EBS cloud storage.

Why simplyblock Data Warehouse Storage?

Operating an ever-growing data warehouse solution in the cloud is hard. You need to estimate the growth rate of data, provide enough headroom, and pre-provision the disk space. Growing it later on can be tedious and may require a downtime. 

Simplyblock combines the baseline performance of best-in-class SAN systems with the flexibility and scalability of software-defined solution such as Ceph. It provides, industry-standard functionality, such as zero-downtime scalability, immediate snapshots, volume clones, and more. All of that at a fraction of a similar Amazon EBS volume.

Scalable

Start from single node, grow to 255 nodes in a single storage cluster. Scales safely and impactless while online. Performance scales linearly.

Flexible

Capacity and load distribution is re-balanced over time and during changes to the cluster (device failures, repair, replacements, expansion).

Top Performance

Up to 10x lower system cost per TB and up to 50x lower system cost per IOPS while delivering baseline performance as best-in-class SAN systems in top configurations

Deep Integration

Simplyblock offers full, native integration for Kubernetes via CSI. Deploy complete cluster and attach storage to hosts as docker swarm or Kubernetes pod within minutes.

Ultra low access latency and great scalability

simplyblock solution is based on Amazon EC2 instances and NVMe® over TCP/IP but rather than proprietary SAN technology, it provides very low access latency, high IOPS/GB and CPU core, great scalability and flexibility. Simplyblock is a great option for your high-performance data warehouse storage.

Simplyblock - Kubernetes Storage

Accelerate your Kubernetes performance while saving costs

Benefit from the first highly secure and scalable K8s storage solution designed from scratch for hybrid clouds

  • Cost-efficient: 10x cheaper per TB of storage and per k-IOPS than conventional SAN storage
  • Hyper-scalable: Linear scalability through distributed cluster architecture: scales beyond 100,000,000 IOPS
  • Automated: Add, remove or replace SSDs and storage nodes at any time – the cluster will always re-balance storage usage and load across all available resources  
  • Super-easy to switch: Switching between Amazon EBS Elastic Block Storage or S3 and simplyblock or back can be achieved in minutes
  • Designed for Hybrid-Cloud: Hybrid cloud storage solution with native integrations with AWS, OpenStack, OpenNebula or VMware.
  • Resilient against ransomware attacks: First block storage with zero RPO point-in-time recovery after ransomware attacks
