Private Cloud Storage for your Data Center

Unified Data Storage Solution for Private Cloud Hosting with OpenStack, OpenNebula, Proxmox, or proprietary cloud stack.

Why simplyblock for private cloud storage?

MSPs and CSPs offering any private or public cloud, managed database or backup services benefit from our flexible, shared, high-performance block storage. Simplyblock’s single block storage cluster may serve multiple private clouds in a multi-tenancy setup. Simplyblock serves as an alternative to Ceph, offering native OpenStack integration. Integrations with other cloud stakcs available.

  • Storage-efficient: Up to 9x more effective storage per GB than ceph on the same raw storage
  • Highly Performant: Up to 100x more IOPS / CPU Core or GB
  • Deep Integration: Full native integration for OpenStack cinder, nova and swift as well as Proxmox.
  • Complete Solution:  File and object storage available in combination with the Redhat GFS2 filesystem and OpenStack Swift for S3

Ultra low access latency and great scalability

Similarly to ceph, simplyblock solution is based on commodity server hardware and TCP/IP but rather than proprietary SAN technology, it provides very low access latency, high IOPS/GB and CPU core, great scalability and flexibility.

Accelerate your performance while saving costs

Benefit from the first highly secure and scalable storage solution designed from scratch for hybrid clouds

  • Cost-efficient: 10x cheaper per TB of storage and per k-IOPS than conventional SAN storage
  • Hyper-scalable: Linear scalability through distributed cluster architecture: scales beyond 100,000,000 IOPS
  • Automated: Add, remove or replace SSDs and storage nodes at any time – the cluster will always re-balance storage usage and load across all available resources  
  • Super-easy to switch: Switching between Amazon EBS Elastic Block Storage or S3 and simplyblock or back can be achieved in minutes
  • Designed for Hybrid-Cloud: Hybrid cloud storage solution with native integrations with AWS, OpenStack, OpenNebula or VMware.
  • Resilient against ransomware attacks: First block storage with zero RPO point-in-time recovery after ransomware attacks
