Modern Kubernetes workloads demand more than just compute agility — they require storage architectures that can keep up with dynamic, stateful applications, all without introducing unnecessary complexity or latency. Hyper-converged Kubernetes storage tightly couples compute and NVMe-native storage on the same nodes, creating a unified infrastructure stack optimized for performance, simplicity, and cost efficiency.
With simplyblock™, hyper-converged deployments gain software-defined storage that operates at NVMe speeds, supports NVMe over TCP, and integrates natively with Kubernetes via CSI. This architecture eliminates the need for external SANs or traditional storage appliances, enabling stateful containers to access persistent volumes with local-like latency, even across distributed clusters. It’s a high-performance SAN alternative built for modern Kubernetes environments — whether on-prem, at the edge, or in hybrid clouds.
Unlike legacy storage platforms or overly complex cloud-native stacks, simplyblock™ delivers unified storage through a modular, adaptive, shared-everything architecture (MAUS™), giving you the best of both hyper-converged and disaggregated models. Start with a hyper-converged design and scale as needed — no replatforming required.
