The Ultimate Flexibility Powering Any Application on Any Platform
QUICK FACTS
What deployment models does Lightbits support (on-prem, cloud, hybrid)?
- On-Prem Support: Deploy as software-defined storage on any commodity x86 servers in your own private data center on Bare Metal, VMware ESXi, and more.
- Public Cloud Support: Native availability on AWS (via Marketplace) and Microsoft Azure (as a Managed Application), and Azure VMware Solution (AVS).
- Hybrid Cloud Strategy: Offers license portability between on-prem and public clouds, allowing you to migrate workloads at your own pace while maintaining consistent storage management.
- Orchestration Environments: Kubernetes (CSI), KubeVirt, OpenShift-V, OpenStack, and more.
How does Lightbits improve hardware efficiency
- Intelligent Flash Management optimizes SSDs for ultimate price-performance value
- Boosts performance: high throughput, lower latency
- Extends flash endurance by 20x
How does Lightbits deliver HA and resiliency
- No service disruption after node or drive loss
- Non-disruptive rolling software upgrades
- 3-way replication across failure domains for DR
NVMe over TCP, the protocol of the future for high-performance data access on low latency networking
performance and cost-efficiency on standard Ethernet
“By 2027, 25 percent of enterprise organizations will deploy NVMe-oF as a storage network protocol, up from less than 10 percent in mid-2023.”
“NVMe-over-TCP makes networked NVMe storage easy to deploy at scale, while delivering performance similar to local flash.”
“NVMe/TCP allows organizations to provision scalable storage without having to change their network architecture fundamentally, and provides latencies akin to that provided from conventional direct-attached storage.”
“As network bandwidth advances and Ethernet technology innovations continue, organizations will move away from the constrained limitations of traditional fibre channel SAN to more flexible and scalable network based storage, with NVMe/TCP a clear frontrunner.”

A High-Performance ‘SAN in the Cloud’
Fastest block storage available on AWS offering high performance with consistent low latency
Predictable low cost with pay on a consumption basis, not provisioned IOPS or volumes requiring fewer VMs which can reduce app licensing costs
Flexible so you can linearly scale performance and capacity independently
Like your “SAN in the Cloud” unifying storage provisioning and bulk volume management that includes enterprise data services (snapshots, replication)
Implement a hybrid cloud strategy with license portability between private and public clouds
