Proxmox VE Storage
NVMe Storage for Proxmox, redefined by Simplyblock.
Simplyblock’s integration with Proxmox VE supercharges the virtualization platform with high-performance, software-defined block storage. By delivering ultra-low latency and NVMe/TCP support, it ensures faster data access and improved VM responsiveness. Based on open standards, with no proprietary lock-in—Proxmox gains an enterprise-grade, scalable, efficient, and future-proof storage.
Simplyblock and Proxmox
Storage Consolidation
Simplyblock enables storage consolidation through its fully multi-tenant, highly available, and shared storage backend. That means enterprise-grade remote block storage connected via NVMe over Fabrics for high performance and HA Proxmox environements.
Snapshots and Clones
Simplyblock is implemented as a copy-on-write storage engine and provides instant snapshots and volume clones without the need for additional storage capacity. That means, minimized storage usage and high performance.
Performance and Reliability
Simplyblock provides 50x higher IOPS per TB and 50x higher IOPS per CPU core than a Ceph-based storage solution. At the same time, simplyblock reduces access latencies by up to 20x. High performance without sacrificing reliability.
Native Integration
Simplyblock is natively integrated into Proxmox VE. After installing our Debian package, one or more storage pools can be made available to Proxmox with ease. Now, volumes, snapshots, and templates can be managed directly through the UI.
Why Simplyblock for
Simplyblock redefines storage management for Proxmox VE based environments with highly available, disaggregated software-defined storage. Logical volumes are automatically provisioned and connected to Proxmox via NVMe over Fabrics, including multipathing. With our distributed erasure coding, simplyblock uses a modern alternative to RAID, optimized for high performance and low latency.
Simplyblock provides an enterprise-grade scale-out storage solution that neither sacrifice performance nor reliability.
Main Benefits of Simplyblock
Always On Storage
Simplyblock is defined to be started once and run forever. System upgrades and extensions require no downtime.
Fast And Reliable
Simplyblock's logical volumes utilize NVMe-oF multipathing for seamless failover and erasure coding for low-overhead data protection.
Flexible and Standards-Based
Simplyblock uses commodity hardware with off the shelf components. This enables you to build the storage to your requirements.
