Private Cloud Data Storage solutions for the AI and DevOps era

Designed from the ground up as a native-S3 API platform, Cloudian offers the industry’s most complete S3 API compatibility. This eliminates lock-in and enhances application portability, so you can write code once then deploy it where it’s needed. Plus, you get fast, self-serve storage access using the standard Kubernetes Persistent Volume (PV) and Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) methodology to provision assets. This is storage for Kubernetes that’s agile and standards-based.

Swedish Public Cloud provider who provides secure and multitenant services to high security demanding customers was faced with and end of life for their Kubernetes persistent block storage solution from Solidfire running on standard Intel servers. They could move to the standard flash-based storage solution of Netapp, but saw some major disadvantages in doing that. The file and object solution they are using which serves them fine, is not suited for block storage. Market research into 13 storage vendors who met the criteria more or less brought them to select Lightbits NVMe over TCP low latency high performance storage software. It ticked all the boxes and was the most interesting in terms of TCO and margin stability over time. After a thorough POC test period. With smoothy installation and seamless CSI integration into their homegrown management framework production started just 3 months after purchase decision.

Lightbits on AWS comes built-in with the enterprise features customers desire and plugs directly into Intel® Xeon®-based storage optimized Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instances. The NVMe® over TCP (NVMe/TCP) optimized storage cluster offers users consistent low latency and high-performance access to data.
