Built for Platform Teams. Ready for VMware Exit.
One storage layer for OpenShift, Kubernetes, and stateful workloads.
Modern apps need fast, reliable, and scalable storage. Especially in Kubernetes or OpenShift. Storage bottlenecks slow teams down and distract from building great products. Simplyblock removes that complexity.
Our high-performance storage for Kubernetes combines NVMe over TCP (or NVME over RDMA), software-defined architecture, and SPDK acceleration to deliver blazing-fast I/O for databases, real-time services, and analytics. And because it's fully software-defined, there’s no vendor lock-in, giving you the freedom to choose and adapt your hardware as your needs evolve.
Simplyblock™ automates performance tuning, ensures tenant isolation, and delivers consistent QoS — so your teams can focus on innovation, not infrastructure.

Your Next Generation
Software-Defined Storage
High-performance storage without the hardware headaches. Deliver NVMe-level latency and throughput across your Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters using standard TCP networking (also supporting RoCEv2 with NVMe/RDMA). No custom drivers, no lock-in. It’s storage performance reimagined for the cloud-native world. 
Seamless integration, zero friction. Simplyblock was built from the ground up for Kubernetes or OpenShift. From CSI compatibility to automated scaling and provisioning, it fits into your DevOps workflows — not the other way around.
Blazing speed, smart orchestration. Powered by SPDK, Simplyblock removes software bottlenecks and automates tiering, QoS, and IOPS balancing. You get consistent, ultra-low latency without manual tuning. As the only SDS solution supporting NVMe/RDMA, you can achieve even more consistent tail latency.
Run on any hardware, scale independently, and avoid lock-in. Hyper-converged or disaggregated. Simplyblock is fully software-defined. Run it in the cloud or on-prem with full control over cost, performance, and footprint.
Built-in data durability and smart placement without manual tuning. Supporting various n+1 and n+2 erasure coding schemes for better efficiency. Turn up to 80% of your raw storage into usable capacity. Unparalleled efficiency compared to other solutions on the market.
Simplyblock™ powers the most demanding Kubernetes workloads — with speed, resilience, and simplicity built in.

Here are the key reasons why simplyblock is the data platform of your choice.
✅ Smarter Storage for Data-Intensive Workflows
Simplyblock intelligently handles high-throughput workloads by dynamically balancing performance, latency, and cost. From OLTP databases to event streaming and analytics pipelines, your data is always where it needs to be — no manual tuning required.
🚀 Performance That Grows With You
Simplyblock's storage engine is highly optimized for NVMe flash storage for Kubernetes. It provides logical volumes using the low overhead NVMe over TCP (or NVME over RoCE) protocol and combines NVMe devices into a cluster-wide storage pool. Multipathing via NVMe over TCP enables parallelized access, minimizing access latency for small and large files, making NVMe and Kubernetes a powerful combination for performance-driven workloads.
📈 Designed for Scale, Wherever You Run
Whether you're scaling across clusters, clouds, or continents, Simplyblock delivers elastic storage that keeps up. Our SDS architecture gives you full control over infrastructure, performance, and cost without vendor lock-in or operational friction.

NVMe Storage Cost Optimization in 2026: Erasure Coding, Thin Provisioning, and Compute Efficiency
NVMe drives deliver the performance Kubernetes stateful workloads need, but triple replication and thick provisioning multiply their cost fast. Here is a practical breakdown of erasure coding economics, thin provisioning, and how sub-millisecond latency reduces compute waste.

Replacing vSAN Storage When Moving to OpenShift or Kubernetes
Most VMware migration guides focus on the compute layer — but vSAN is the storage layer, and it does not migrate. Here is what platform teams need to plan when replacing vSAN as part of an OpenShift or Kubernetes transition.

PostgreSQL on Kubernetes: Do's and Don'ts
Running databases in containers has long been considered an anti-pattern. However, the Kubernetes ecosystem has evolved significantly, allowing stateful workloads, including databases, to thrive in containerized environments. With PostgreSQL continuing its rise as one of the world’s most beloved databases, it’s essential to understand the right way to run it on Kubernetes. This session will cover the key Do’s and Don’ts to ensure optimal performance and scalability.
