Joint offering features all NVMe in a
performance-dense form factor that accelerates cloud-native
applications.
Lightbits®, the first software-defined complete data platform
for any cloud, today announced that Supermicro, a global leader in
high-performance computing, storage, networking solutions, and
green computing technology, is now an authorized Lightbits solution
partner. The Supermicro SuperServer family, featuring the Lightbits
NVMe®/TCP scale-out clustered storage solution, are pre-integrated
servers with NVMe drives and networking that enables the rapid
deployment of scalable, high-performance cloud-native storage.
The solution combines Supermicro’s systems and Lightbits’s
technology to utilize NVMe fully and provide outstanding
performance and low latency through standard Ethernet networks to
accelerate cloud-native applications and reduce TCO. For example, a
single SuperServer in a Lightbits cluster with redundancy enabled
can serve up to 4.7 million random 4K read IOPs and up to 21GB/s of
read bandwidth. When paired with Lightbits, a Supermicro
SuperServer makes for an optimal data platform for Cloud Service
Providers (CSPs), high-performance databases, analytics, VMware,
Kubernetes, or OpenStack environments.
Solution benefits:
- Flexibility and operational efficiency: software-defined,
disaggregated, and highly available block storage with rich data
services
- High performance: low latency, high IOPs, high bandwidth
- Lower TCO: Intelligent Flash Management maximizes resource
utilization and improves flash endurance
- Simple and easy to consume: no change to the network, runs on
standard Ethernet NICs with standard TCP/IP networking
infrastructure
“Lightbits is easy to deploy and consume on Supermicro
SuperServers. Several of our customers are already using this
integrated solution that delivers exceptional performance and low
latency highlighting the benefits of NVMe drivers in a pre-built
server for demanding database workloads and cloud deployments,”
said Charla Bunton-Johnson, VP of Global Alliances and Channels at
Lightbits.
One such customer is the CSP Finanz Informatik Technology
Service (FI-TS). Using the joint Lightbits and Supermicro solution,
FI-TS can now offer customers persistent storage with rich
enterprise services, multi-tenancy, and scalability while staying
aligned with the Finance Cloud Native services cost structure. And
fast provisioning makes it possible for end customers to spin up
services on bare metal in the Kubernetes environment in minutes
instead of days. Another customer, Zenlayer, an edge cloud
provider, leverages the ultra-low latency and high performance of
the Lightbits and Supermicro solution to deliver a best-in-class
digital user experience and worldwide NVMe as a Service on
demand.
“Supermicro enables customers’ cloud environments with highly
scalable, cost-effective enterprise-class storage solutions like
Lightbits,” said Lawrence Lam, GM of Solutions and Technology at
Supermicro. “Our SuperServer appliance with Lightbits scale-out
solution featuring NVMe/TCP is a great addition to our
Software-Defined Storage offerings and making it available as a
preconfigured and fully tested appliance with a unique SKU enables
the channel community to rapidly deploy industry-leading hardware
and software.”
