Lightbits’ software-defined, disaggregated and high-performance storage can be deployed on Supermicro SuperServers over standard ethernet networks using TCP/ IP protocol, requiring zero modification to applications.
While software-defined storage is desirable for its ability to lower cost by utilizing standard servers and components, a “do it yourself” approach is not for everyone.
For the ultimate in scalability, performance and convenience, this ready-to-deploy solution delivers composable NVMe® over TCP-based block storage with built- in Intelligent Flash ManagementTM that increases flash endurance by 20X. It’s an ideal platform for applications running on-premises, in private and edge clouds in containerized or virtual environments.
DEPLOYING WITH CONFIDENCE
Lightbits offers rich data services such as thin provisioning and compression. A single SuperServer in a Lightbits cluster with redundancy enabled can serve up to 4.7 million random 4K read IOPs, up to 760,000 random 4K write IOPs, up to 21GB/s of read bandwidth and up to 4.3GB/s of write bandwidth.
