FAQ problems that simplyblock solves
- 01Simplyblock is a cross-cloud software-defined storage platform that powers next-gen workloads such as AI, ML, HPC or modern databases, while reducing cost and complexity for cloud service providers. Simplyblock's technology delivers ultra-high performance at low total cost of ownership (TCO), offering compatibility with any cloud, platform or hardware and easy, fully containerised, deployment. Up to 100x improved cost-to-performance over currently prevailing software-defined storage technologies like Ceph.
- 02Our SDS solution comes with multiple levels of innovation: • It is specifically designed for the nvme standard and ssds, meeting access latency, storage efficiency and security benchmarks of best-in-class SAN systems, based on commodity hardware, which is at least by a factor of 10 cheaper compared to those systems • It works of standard GbE and TCP/IP and does not require any special storage networking technology in the data center • It is extremely scalable - adding hardware and storage capacity to a single system will linearly increase available throughput and keep access latency stable despite of increasing load - up to multi-rack deployments with thousands of storage drives - there is no conventional SAN system available that scales similarly • It runs both on cloud native infrastructure and on standard server hardware in conventional data centers and is architected to solve critical data storage challenges in hybrid (combined cloud and non-cloud) environments and massively simplify the overall data storage architecture in these environments
- 03• Software-defined, high-performance, highly scalable shared block storage system for cloud, hybrid cloud and non-cloud deployments • Cost / TB ca. 10 times lower than competitive products and high-performance cloud storage • Can deliver up to 100,000 IOPS per single TB with linear performance scalability to thousands of TB in a cluster • Standard features • Ultra-Fast asynchronous compression and inline decompression • Cluster-wide deduplication can save storage capacity by a factor of 10 and more • Cluster-wide logical volumes with thin provisioning, snapshots, clones • Storage capacity and load remains perfectly balanced across the whole cluster over time - even if new capacity is added or capacity is removed • Very easy to add new capacity (storage drives and nodes) to the cluster and replace existing hardware with the same or other models and even vendors - required data migrations and rebuilds are fully automated and transparent • Runs in both native cloud environments (on dedicated servers) and non-cloud data centers.
- 04Simplyblock is keeping your data safe from disaster or satisfying a need for redundant storage is mission-critical. Block storage is separate from your local server, providing a safe and secure method of storing your data. Additionally, simplyblock offers data encryption features which means that you don't need to build, maintain, and secure your own key management infrastructure.
