Deliver high-performance, multi-tenant databases without storage overprovisioning.
Simplyblock gives DBaaS providers and internal platform teams an NVMe-first storage layer with thin provisioning, policy-based performance controls, and automated tiering to scale margins and reliability.
The Challenge
DBaaS platforms must balance performance SLAs, tenant isolation, and margin targets as workloads scale.
Many DBaaS teams allocate excess storage and premium IOPS tiers to avoid incidents, creating persistent baseline cost waste.
Transactional workloads degrade when storage latency fluctuates under mixed tenant traffic, especially during backup or maintenance windows.
Without per-volume controls, one heavy tenant can consume throughput and IOPS, degrading service quality for other customers.
Conventional workflows increase operational overhead and make it harder to deliver fast restores or safe test environments.
The Solution
A Kubernetes-native storage architecture designed for database providers and private DBaaS platforms.
Pool EBS, local NVMe, and object storage with policy-driven tiering so hot blocks stay fast while cold blocks move to lower-cost tiers.
Serve database volumes through NVMe over TCP to improve latency and throughput consistency for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and other stateful services.
Use instant snapshots and clones to accelerate testing, branching, and recovery while keeping database operations consistent across environments.
Key Benefits
Increase margin, improve tenant experience, and simplify day-2 storage operations.
Thin provisioning and tiering reduce waste and improve total storage efficiency at scale.
NVMe-over-TCP delivery improves latency predictability for mission-critical database workloads.
Per-volume QoS controls prevent tenant interference and support enforceable internal or external SLAs.
Snapshots and clones improve operational speed for restore testing, branch environments, and incident response.
Grow DBaaS capacity and performance online as customer demand expands.
Run as a cloud-native storage layer with CSI integration across Kubernetes distributions.
Simplyblock provides Kubernetes-native block storage for Database as a Service (DBaaS) Storage Platform, with predictable performance and simpler operations.
It uses a scale-out architecture and NVMe-over-TCP to deliver low-latency performance while scaling capacity and throughput as workloads grow.
Most teams begin with a phased rollout, validate workload behavior, and then migrate stateful services with minimal disruption.
