Software-defined storage (SDS) is the future-proof storage architecture, building on top of storage software instead of hardware-centric storage systems, to enable unmatched deployment flexibility and scalability. Simplyblock’s NVMe/TCP architecture supports hyper-converged (co-located) deployments alongside your workloads, disaggregated deployments (separated from your workloads), or hybrid architectures. No matter your requirements, simplyblock is the software-defined storage of your choice, bridging the flexibility and cost reduction of SDS with the reliability and feature-richness of a traditional SAN.

Software-Defined Storage is the Modern Standard
for Cloud and On-Premises Storage Requirements
Software-Defined Storage (SDS) is a data storage architecture that separates storage hardware from the software that manages it, enabling greater flexibility, scalability, and automation. By abstracting and pooling storage resources, SDS allows for centralized management and provisioning, often across different hardware platforms, reducing costs and improving efficiency. It also supports advanced features like automated data tiering, replication, and backup, enhancing data availability and performance. See our deep dive into the benefits of SDS.

Immediately benefit of granular QoS and performance thin provisioning.
SDS and Kubernetes:
A Match Made In Heaven
Kubernetes Means Scale.
Don’t Limit Your Workloads.
Kubernetes is designed for high-scalable workloads. Hence, any storage must meet the requirements of dynamic ephemeral and persistent volumes. Traditional storage solutions struggle with the requirements of the cloud-native world.
Software-defined storage complements Kubernetes perfectly. Both are designed to provide flexibility, scalability, and automation in modern IT environments. Kubernetes orchestrates containerized applications to dynamically scale, while SDS abstracts and pools storage resources, enabling seamless provisioning and management of persistent storage. Together, they allow the deployment of stateful applications with confidence in reliability, scalability, and fault tolerance.
Simplyblock, the leader in intelligent storage platforms, brings the power of NVMe-based SDS to your Kubernetes.
