Simplyblock NVMe/TCP Storage Platform Partner Validated

Simplyblock is a software-defined block storage platform built on the NVMe-over-TCP standard. It aggregates NVMe and flash devices across multiple servers into a distributed, high-performance, fault-tolerant storage cluster for OpenShift and other Kubernetes environments.

Simplyblock provides a fully compliant Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver that connects OpenShift workloads to the Simplyblock cluster. It supports dynamic provisioning, expansion, snapshots, and multi-attach volumes using standard OpenShift storage classes. Simplybock can deploy on OpenShift in hyper-converged architecture.

The platform achieves sub-millisecond latency and millions of IOPS per node by using NVMe/TCP for direct, low-overhead data paths. Its scale-out architecture grows linearly in capacity and throughput as nodes are added, with no centralized bottleneck.

Yes. It supports hyper-converged deployments where compute and storage share nodes, as well as disaggregated clusters for dedicated storage. This flexibility allows organizations to optimize for performance, cost, or density.
