BottleNeck your Cloud

As private cloud environments scale, storage and networking can become a bottleneck. Teams supporting high-performance workloads need solutions that deliver consistent low-latency and high throughput without proprietary networking, better economic value, and data services that simplify storage management.

Common Challenges

Performance inconsistency

Unpredictable latency spikes disrupt critical application processing and user experience.

Added complexity & expensive proprietary networking

Vendor lock-in with specialized hardware increases costs and management overhead.

Overprovisioning & hardware inefficiency

Buying excessive storage to meet performance goals leads to wasted resources and budget.

How it Works

Deploy

Install Lightbits on NVMe nodes.

Connect

Link via standard TCP/IP.

Provision

Volumes via CSI or Cinder.

Scale

Add nodes online as needed.

Technical Specifications & FAQ +
Do I need proprietary networking hardware to use NVMe/TCP?
No. One of the main advantages of Lightbits on JetStor is that it utilizes standard TCP/IP over your existing Ethernet infrastructure. This eliminates the need for expensive Fibre Channel fabrics or specialized RoCE network switches, drastically reducing TCO.
How does this solution integrate with Kubernetes?
The solution provides a native Container Storage Interface (CSI) plugin. This allows your Kubernetes clusters to dynamically provision, snapshot, and manage persistent volumes with sub-millisecond latency, seamlessly aligning with your cloud-native workflows.
Can I scale storage independently from compute?
Yes. The software-defined, disaggregated architecture means you can add storage capacity or performance online without needing to purchase additional compute nodes. This prevents the costly hardware overprovisioning typical of hyperconverged setups.
What happens to my data if a storage node fails?
The architecture is built for high availability. It features intelligent synchronous replication across the cluster. In the event of a drive or node failure, the system automatically initiates fast rebuilds, ensuring your persistent volumes remain fully accessible and protected.
