3x–5x Lower Cost

Through erasure coding and automated tiering to HDD or object storage, Simplyblock slashes storage overhead and cost vs. traditional solutions.

Future-Proof Architecture

Simplyblock integrates seamlessly with Proxmox via the NVMe-oF (TCP) protocol, allowing block devices to be presented directly to VM hosts without the need for kernel modules or additional client agents. This lightweight approach simplifies setup and maximizes compatibility across diverse infrastructure environments.

The platform supports a range of deployment models to fit your architecture—whether you’re running a hyperconverged setup with storage and compute on the same Proxmox nodes, a disaggregated storage cluster for independent scaling, or a hybrid approach that combines the best of both worlds with local caching for ultra-low latency.

Overcoming Bottlenecks of Traditional Storage

While traditional solutions like Ceph are commonly used in Proxmox environments, they often involve complex configuration and the need for dedicated storage clusters. These systems can introduce unnecessary operational overhead and limit flexibility, especially in dynamic or resource-constrained setups.

Simplyblock was built to meet the needs of modern Proxmox users—delivering a fast, scalable, and cost-efficient storage layer that works out of the box. Whether you’re managing a production-grade virtualization cluster, operating a development lab, or building out high-density VM infrastructure, simplyblock provides the performance, simplicity, and reliability needed to support your workloads at scale.
