Overview

DataCore Puls8 is a Kubernetes-native, high-performance block storage platform designed for running stateful workloads in cloud-native environments. Puls8 aggregates local disks from Kubernetes worker nodes and presents them as resilient, low-latency persistent volumes, enabling applications to achieve predictable performance without relying on external storage systems. Built with cloud-native principles, Puls8 integrates directly with Kubernetes APIs to deliver automated provisioning, high availability, and operational simplicity for modern containerized stateful applications.

Puls8 is compatible with Red Hat OpenShift and can be deployed as Kubernetes-native storage within OpenShift clusters.
