GeezerVison is showing simplyblock.io — Simplyblock Storage Architecture | simplyblock Simplyblock Storage ArchitectureSimplyblock is the software-defined block storage platform behind our Kubernetes, OpenShift, and VMware-exit storage story. Built on our MAUS architecture (Modular, Adaptive, Unified, Shared-Everything), simplyblock provides NVMe-oF end-to-end. Optimized for I/O-heavy workloads, simplyblock runs seamlessly on virtualized and bare-metal Kubernetes, as well as private and public clouds. For the primary commercial pages, continue to OpenShift Storage, VMware Migration to OpenShift and Kubernetes, or vSAN Alternative for OpenShift and Kubernetes.   Powering Smarter Storage: One Engine That Optimizes It AllAt the heart of simplyblock is advanced our storage virtualization technology. As a software-defined block storage platform, it integrates seamlessly with cloud environments, acting as a smart abstraction layer that simplifies and optimizes underlying storage complexity. All Your Storage, One Smart LayerSimplyblock unifies access to NVMes, SSDs, HDDs, and object stores into a single logical storage pool. Behind a standardized NVMe interface, it abstracts complexity and simplifies access. Our distribution algorithm intelligently places data to optimize both performance and cost.   NVMe Over Fabrics End-to-EndSimplyblock uses NVMe over Fabrics—such as NVMe over TCP—to deliver high-speed, low-latency storage access. These protocols outperform traditional iSCSI while staying broadly compatible with existing systems. With NVMe/TCP, simplyblock achieves near-local performance, even for remote block storage volumes. Smarter Storage Flow with Adaptive Tiering and CachingSimplyblock continuously analyzes data access patterns to optimize placement. Hot data stays on high-speed NVMe, while colder data moves to cost-efficient tiers like QLCs, HDDs, or object storage. Tiering is automatic and transparent, with no impact on applications or manual tuning.   Snapshot, Clone, Test, Recover Instantly with Copy-on-WriteSimplyblock uses an efficient copy-on-write mechanism, enabling instant snapshots and fast cloning. Only changes are tracked when a snapshot or clone is created, keeping storage overhead low and making it easy to spin up development or test environments in seconds. Kubernetes-Native: Storage Integration Made SimpleSimplyblock's software defined block storage solution seamlessly integrated with virtualized and bare-metal Kubernetes environments via a Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver. It transparently translates Kubernetes storage requests into native simplyblock operations, enabling dynamic provisioning, volume expansion, and snapshot creation directly via Kubernetes APIs.   Advanced Erasure Coding: Stronger, Smarter Data ProtectionTo ensure data integrity and availability, simplyblock uses efficient and distributed erasure coding. Similar to RAID-5, but using a more advanced algorithm, simplyblock's advanced erasure coding spreads data and parity across multiple nodes. This offers strong protection against data loss while using significantly less storage than traditional replication. Asynchronous Replication for Always-On RecoveryOur disaster recovery solution uses asynchronous replication by streaming data changes to a write-ahead log in object storage. This log enables full storage recovery in another availability zone, achieving near-zero RPO in disaster scenarios.   One Platform, Many Users, Zero CompromisesSimplyblock’s architecture is built for multi-tenancy, enforcing strict isolation at the storage and performance level. Multiple users or applications can securely share the same storage pool, with each tenant’s data logically separated, independently managed, encrypted, and optimized—without impacting performance. |
