Overview

Lightbits Labs provides a software-defined block storage solution for OpenShift Virtualization that leverages NVMe/TCP technology to deliver high performance with low latency. The platform allows organizations to run Virtual Machines (VMs) and container workloads side by side efficiently, combining the speed of local SSD storage with the flexibility of network-attached storage. By using commodity hardware and standard Ethernet networks, Lightbits reduces the dependency on expensive specialized infrastructure, lowering total cost of ownership while maintaining enterprise-grade performance and reliability. The solution is designed for scalability, ensuring seamless operations as storage demands grow, and offers robust security features suitable for multi-tenant environments.

Features and Capabilities

• Unmatched OpenShift Virtualization Storage Performance: Enables the creation of hundreds of Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) without compromising IOPS or latency.
• **Peak Performance for Every PVC: **Maintains ultra-low latency and high IOPS even as the number of PVCs scales exponentially.
• **Effortless Live Migration with KubeVirt: **Integrated CSI driver allows seamless live migration of VMs with multiple PVCs without downtime.
• **Seamless Multi-Tenancy and Encryption: **Provides robust multi-tenant support and strong encryption to ensure security, compliance, and scalability.
• **Scalability, Resiliency, and Cost Effectiveness: **Disaggregated architecture allows independent scaling of compute and storage, ensures high availability with automatic storage-server failover, and reduces costs using NVMe/TCP over standard networks.
• **Optimized for Mixed Workloads: **Efficiently supports both containerized applications and VM-based workloads in a single environment.
• **Enterprise-Ready Reliability: **Built for mission-critical deployments with high availability, fault tolerance, and predictable performance under heavy load.
