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.

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
