Lightbits - CSC Distribution

“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 and provides latencies akin to that provided from conventional direct-attached storage.”

LIGHTBITS SOFTWARE-DEFINED STORAGE

One block storage solution power.

Discover Lightbits, best-in-class, disaggregated software-defined block storage that delivers unmatched price/performance and flexibility, created by the inventors of NVMe over TCP.

Our software powers any performance-intensive workload – AI/Machine Learning, real-time analytics, transactional – on any platform with up to 75M IOPS and consistent sub-millisecond latency at scale. Seamless integrations with Kubernetes, OpenStack, VMware, AWS, and Azure VMware Solution, and more.

The unique architecture of our software utilizes resources more efficiently with less proprietary hardware, which reduces energy consumption, and satisfies sustainability strategies.

The Ultimate Flexibility

Powering Any Application on Any Platform

On-Premises or the Public Cloud
Lightbits Runs Wherever Your Data Lives

Limitations of DAS

Applications locked to servers and storage leads to low utilization of CPU and storage

Application-based replication and recovery over network causes service degradation

Limitations of HCI

Scaling storage and compute together wastes resources

Hypervisor design yields inconsistent latency

Can’t mix virtualized and non-virtualized workloads

Limitations of SAN

Proprietary expensive appliances

More complex networking required to deliver high performance

Vendor lock-in with less flexibility
