Scale-Out Architecture
Scale Without Limits. Grow as Needed. Stay in Control.
Modern workloads—from AI/ML over databases, Kubernetes and other demanding workloads—are growing fast. Traditional scale-up storage architectures can’t keep up without expensive hardware upgrades, downtime, or bottlenecks. Simplyblock's software-defined storage engine is built from the ground up as a scale-out storage architecture that grows effortlessly with your data, workloads, and teams—delivering high performance, maximum efficiency, and zero disruption.
The True Scale-Out Architecture
⚖️ Scale Independently
Scale storage capacity and compute independently—scale when you need it.
📈 Reduce Upfront Cost
Align infrastructure costs with actual business growth—no overprovisioning.
🛡️ Reliability and HA
Reduce risk and downtime during upgrades, expansions, or maintenance.
🚀 Predictable Performance
Run high-density, high-performance environments with predictable behavior.
Flexible. Resilient. Always-On.
Disaggregated, hyper-coverged, hybrid deployments. Flexible erasure coding data protection. Scale your storage without downtime.
Experience the effortless scalability of simplyblock.
Whether deployed hyper-converged, disaggregated, or hybrid, simplyblock’s scale-out architecture gives you the flexibility to scale storage independently from compute. It’s fully resilient with no single point of failure, and includes erasure coding, QoS, and multi-tenancy to support mission-critical, multi-tenant infrastructure.
Simplyblock is built using the MAUS (Modular Adaptive Unified Shared-Everything) architecture powered by NVMe-over-TCP, intelligent data placement, and erasure coding. Each node contributes IOPS, throughput, capacity, and bandwidth to the cluster.
As nodes are added to the storage cluster, the system automatically expands the usable capacity, adds the additional IOPS and throughput, rebalances the data across all storage nodes, all while maintaining high availability and fault tolerance.
No need to pause or reconfigure your infrastructure—simplyblock handles it all in the background with online, automated rebalancing.
Built for AI, Databases, and Kubernetes at Scale
From training large AI models to running latency-sensitive databases or managing persistent Kubernetes volumes, Simplyblock ensures every workload gets the performance and durability it needs—no matter how fast it grows.
🔄 For AI/ML Workloads
Feed GPUs with parallel I/O and massive bandwidth—at scale. Utilize DPUs and SmartNics to relieve your CPU.
📊 For Databases
Consistent low-latency and throughput even as data volumes and connections increase. Bursting available when needed.
☸️ For Kubernetes
Dynamically scale storage as pods and clusters evolve, with simplyblock's CSI integration and without operator intervention.
