Lower storage spend without sacrificing performance for stateful Kubernetes workloads.
Simplyblock combines thin provisioning, pooled storage, and policy-based data placement to reduce overprovisioning and keep costs aligned with real usage. Teams gain predictable performance, cleaner operations, and better cloud economics from the same Kubernetes platform.
The Challenge
Storage is often one of the biggest hidden cost centers in Kubernetes. Overprovisioned volumes, fragmented management, and manual tiering workflows drive spend up while making operations harder.
Teams allocate for peak capacity, but much of that storage remains unused and still billed every month.
Moving data to cheaper media without workload awareness can increase latency for critical stateful services.
Managing separate storage silos and manual lifecycle jobs increases complexity and operational risk.
Snapshots, cloning, and recovery workflows must remain fast even while optimizing for lower storage costs.
The Approach
Cost-aware storage architecture that balances utilization, performance, and operational simplicity.
Replace isolated and underutilized volumes with a shared capacity pool that serves many workloads. This improves utilization and prevents paying for stranded storage across clusters and teams.
Create logical volumes without pre-allocating full backing capacity. Simplyblock allocates on demand, so you only pay for consumed storage instead of worst-case estimates.
Move colder data to lower-cost tiers automatically and promote it back when workloads become active again. This keeps costs down while preserving performance where it matters.
Key Benefits
A practical path to lower Kubernetes storage spend with fewer trade-offs for platform, SRE, and finance teams.
Reduce over-allocation and move cold data to lower-cost tiers with policy-based control.
Keep latency-sensitive workloads on high-performance storage while optimizing the rest for cost.
Standardize storage behavior across teams and clusters without brittle manual lifecycle workflows.
Use snapshots and clones to accelerate backup, restore, testing, and release workflows.
Simplyblock provides Kubernetes-native block storage for Kubernetes Cost Optimization for Stateful Workloads, with predictable performance and simpler operations.
It uses a scale-out architecture and NVMe-over-TCP to deliver low-latency performance while scaling capacity and throughput as workloads grow.
Most teams begin with a phased rollout, validate workload behavior, and then migrate stateful services with minimal disruption.
