Intelligent Storage for Cloud-Native Environments

Managing storage for high-performance workloads presents significant challenges. Unpredictable costs, complex scaling, and inadequate performance are particularly acute for enterprises running multiple databases, streaming systems and I/O-intensive applications, where inefficient storage can lead to poor user experiences and inflated cloud bills.

Simplyblock solves these pain points by intelligently orchestrating and unifying cloud storage technologies, delivered over NVMe/TCP. With thin provisioning, smart storage tiering and other data-efficiency features, simplyblock delivers cost savings of up to 80% while providing ultra-low latency access for mission-critical workloads. Our Kubernetes-native storage integration and robust disaster recovery features allow you to focus on innovation rather than storage complexity, all while ensuring your data remains secure and highly available.

Why simplyblock?

Unified High-Performance Storage Pool

Benefit from the combined performance of pooled resources over NVMe/TCP and intelligent data distribution. Consolidate partially utilized storage volumes into a shared, efficient pool. Our thin provisioning technology creates flexible virtual disks without pre-allocating storage, optimizing resource usage and simplifying management. This design achieves linear performance scaling as you add storage, reduces storage access latency for improved application responsiveness, and supports demanding workloads without over-provisioning of storage resources.

Cost-Efficient Disaster Recovery and Data Protection

Implement cross-availability zone disaster recovery using Amazon S3 and our write-ahead log. Protect against data loss with erasure coding, offering efficiency similar to RAID-5 but with lower overhead. This approach helps you achieve near-zero RPO for critical workloads, enables consistent recovery across multiple databases and services, and balances data protection with cost-efficiency.

Intelligent Tiering and Caching

Automatically move infrequently accessed data to cost-effective storage tiers like Amazon S3. Utilize local instance storage for ultra-low latency caching, optimizing performance and costs. This approach reduces storage costs without sacrificing accessibility, boosts performance for frequently accessed data, and operates transparently without requiring application changes.

Advanced Data Management Features

Benefit from copy-on-write technology enabling instant snapshots and efficient database cloning. Encrypt data at rest and in transit, with per-volume encryption keys for enhanced security. These features allow you to rapidly create development and test environments, protect sensitive data with robust encryption, and implement consistent backups across multiple databases.

Kubernetes-Native Design

Seamlessly integrate with Kubernetes through our CSI driver. Configure storage characteristics using familiar Kubernetes StorageClass definitions. This design streamlines storage provisioning in Kubernetes environments, allows you to leverage Kubernetes-native tools and workflows, and easily implement "pay-by-use" models for managed services.

Seamless Integration with Existing Technologies

Leverage NVMe/TCP for high-speed connectivity, with built-in support in modern operating systems. Simplyblock volumes appear as standard NVMe or SSD drives, as NVMe over TCP protocol is a part of Linux kernel, ensuring compatibility and ease of use. No additional drivers are required, providing familiar interfaces for your teams and enabling smooth integration into existing workflows.
