Lightbits Persistent Storage
for Kubernetes
Cloud Native Storage for Kubernetes
Lightbits offers persistent storage for Kubernetes via the Container Storage Interface (CSI) that extends the efficiency of containers to NVMe® flash while maintaining high application performance and portability. Because Lightbits maximizes the utility of NVMe flash it offers the best value for performance, scalability and lower TCO. Unlike other block storage solutions, one Lightbits cluster can support hundreds of Kubernetes clusters.
Accelerate Stateful Applications with Simplified Cloud Native Storage
Most of the popular stateful applications [MongoDB, MySQL, Cassandra, Apache Kafka, Spark, etc.] benefit from local NVMe storage for low latency, high performance when deployed on bare metal. While utilizing local NVMe with Kubernetes Local Persistent Volume functionality meets the storage requirements for these applications, it breaks the benefits of Kubernetes container/application portability. And while many block storage solutions offer persistent volumes, they compromise application performance.
Only Lightbits delivers the performance of Local Persistent Volumes while retaining pod autonomy and freedom from server physicality. It’s cloud-native, software-defined storage that offers the high performance and low latency benefits of local NVMe SSDs, without compromising container portability.
Persistent Storage Without Compromise
Provision cloud native storage as fast and dynamic as the containers it serves
Enables faster container migration between nodes
Provides high IOPs, low latency performance equivalent to local flash
Increases efficiency, flash endurance and scaling storage independently from compute
More uptime, increased SLAs–applications do not see drive failures and are able to migrate without full drive rebuilds
