KubeVirt
Enterprise Storage
Unlock the Power of KubeVirt with Simplyblock’s Enterprise-Grade Block Storage
With KubeVirt rising, Kubernetes is becoming the cloud's operating system and central command center for all your container and VM needs. Simplyblock is the software-defined, enterprise-grade storage that powers this transition to highly scalable and dynamic all-in-Kubernetes environments.
Storage Challenge for KubeVirt
Fast & Consistent
Storage for VMs has to provide high and consistent performance for I/O-intensive workloads.
Scalable
Storage for VMs has to scale in capacity, performance, across tenants, clusters, and regions.
Flexible
Storage for VMs has to be flexible yet consistent in deployment across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid.
Cost-Effective
Storage for VMs has to grow as needed, provide consolidated storage, and cost-efficient—no matter the environment.
High-Performance Block Storage for KubeVirt
Virtual machines are going cloud-native—and so should your storage.
Simplyblock is built from the ground up to deliver software-defined storage (SDS) with enterprise-grade capabilities and optimized to be Kubernetes-native. Whether you run containers or VMs, simplyblock provides high performance and cost-efficiency with up to 90% cost reduction compared to traditional storage hardware or cloud storage offerings.
🚀 Near-Bare-Metal Performance
Simplyblock delivers access latency as low as 150μs, perfect for VMs with intensive storage needs—databases, analytics engines, and high-throughput services. And for your extreme use cases, simplyblock supports hybrid deployments with even lower latencies.
Unlike traditional SDS solutions, we don’t just "support" performance—we’re engineered for it.
🌐 Scale Without Rework
Scale your cluster on the fly and add nodes or drives without downtime. Simplyblock automatically rebalances workloads, ensuring performance grows linearly with your infrastructure.
No downtime. No manual tuning. No hidden bottlenecks.
🔐 Built-in Multi-Tenancy and QoS
Ensure all your tenant isolation needs are covered. Simplyblock is built from the ground up for multi-tenancy with strong performance and access isolation, resolving the noise neighbor once and for all.
Configure capacity, IOPS, throughput, and latency per customer, or volume. Just as you need it.
🔄 Your Hardware. Your Rules.
Deploy according to your needs. Simplyblock is built to ensure your requirements are met, not to dictate your requirements. Deploy simplyblock hyper-converged, disaggregated, or hybrid.
Define your trade-off between ultra-low latency, high performance, infinite scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Your Storage Cluster. Your Choice.
Simplyblock covers your Use Cases
Lift-and-Shift VM Migration
Easily move existing VMware VMs to Kubernetes without re-platforming. Simplyblock ensured performance parity.
Hybrid Workloads
Run VMs and containers side-by-side in a Kubernetes cluster using KubeVirt. Simplyblock handles both with equal efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
AI/ML & Data-Heavy Applications
Need high throughput and low latency for AI pipelines in VMs? Simplyblock got the bandwidth and performance to keep your models humming.
Edge Deployments
Distribute storage nodes to the edge with local caches and full redundancy. Great for telcos, retail, and commercial or industrial IoT.
Not Just Another Storage
| Simplyblock | Legacy Storage | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Latency |
 |
 | Legacy storage's access latency often exceeds 1ms. Simplyblock provides a 150µs access latency baseline. |
| Freedom of Choice |
|
| Legacy storage typically comes with a hard vendor lock-in. Simplyblock, however, builds upon open standards such as NVMe over TCP and provides freedom of hardware choice. |
| Infinite Scalability |
|
| Legacy storage solutions comes with many scalability limitations attached, often due to the vendor lock-in. Simplyblock, a software-defined storage, has no arbitrary limitation. Your storage. Your rules. |
| Easy Upgradeability |
|
| Legacy storage is hard to upgrade, often involving downtime, rework, and hardware exchange. Simplyblock provides in-place upgrades for hardware and software, keeping your storage up at all times. |
| Real Multi-Tenancy |
|
| Legacy storage often falls behind on multi-tenancy, requiring separate systems or contracts. Simplyblock is ground-up multi-tenant with real isolation for data, access, and performance. |
