Highly-Scalabile High-Performance Shared Block Storage

Benefit from improved scalability and flexibility as well as significant cost advantages of our shared block storage. Self-service block storage. Kubernetes cloud storage for most demanding workloads.

Why simplyblock for shared block storage?

Enterprises, MSPs and CSPs have to rely upon fast, scalable, well-integrated and reliable shared storage for critical workloads. Simplyblock’s NVMe-optimized shared block storage beats top of class SAN systems in performance, scalability and flexibility for a fraction of the costs while running on standard NVMe/TCP protocol. Self-service block storage for hybrid cloud.

  • Cost-efficient: System costs up to 5x lower per TB and up to 50x lower per IOPS.
  • Flexible: Expansion, resize and hardware replacement at any time without maintenance windows or operational impact.
  • Scalable: Easily scalable within and across the rack. Linear performance (IOPS) growth with capacity increase.
  • Hybrid-native: Access storage through a joint layer across distributed cloud and non-cloud deployments.

Linear scalability reduces operational efforts

With simplyblock’s Block Storage output performance (IOPS) increases linearly when adding nodes to the cluster. A single cluster is enough to serve tens of thousands of virtual machines or containers and thousands of customers (in case of MSPs and CSPs). System provides full customer self-service capabilities via WS-APIs in a multi-tenancy setup.

Simplyblock’s Kubernetes Storage solutions provide scalable persistent volume management for containerized environments.

Accelerate your performance while saving costs

Benefit from the first highly secure and scalable 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
