High-performance NVMe/TCP-based Storage Platform for Red Hat OpenShift providing software-defined block storage with advanced data protection and scalability.
Simplyblock NVMe/TCP Storage Platform delivers high-performance, software-defined block storage for Red Hat OpenShift. It enables dynamic provisioning and management of persistent volumes over standard NVMe-over-TCP, achieving sub-millisecond latency and linear scalability. Simplyblock aggregates NVMe and flash devices across nodes into a unified, fault-tolerant pool protected by advanced erasure coding and self-healing. The CSI driver integrates natively with OpenShift to support volume expansion, snapshots, and multi-attach use cases, providing resilient, efficient, and hardware-agnostic storage for modern cloud-native and data-intensive workloads.

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.
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.
