Lightbits is mainly based in Israel and in the US. Israel is considered by the European Commission to be offering an adequate level of protection for the Personal Data of EU Member State residents.
While the data protection laws in the above jurisdictions may be different than the laws of your residence or location, please know that Lightbits, its affiliates and service providers that store or process your Personal Data on Lightbits’ behalf are each committed to keep it protected and secured, in accordance with this Privacy Policy and industry standards, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in their jurisdiction.

Governmental/Law Enforcement Agencies and Legal Requests or Duties: We may disclose or otherwise allow access to your Personal Data pursuant to a legal request, such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order, or in compliance with applicable laws, with or without notice to you, if we have a good faith belief that we are legally required to do so, or that disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activity, fraud, or other wrongdoing.

Today’s storage approaches were designed for enterprises and don’t meet developing cloud-scale infrastructure requirements. For instance, SAN is known for lacking performance and control. At scale, Direct-Attached SSDs (DAS) become too complicated for smooth operations, too costly, and suffer from inefficient SSD utilization.
Cloud-scale infrastructures require disaggregation of storage and compute, as evidenced by the top cloud giants’ transition from inefficient Direct-Attached SSD architecture to low-latency shared NVMe flash architecture.
Unlike other NVMe-oF approaches, the Lightbits NVMe/TCP cost-saving solution separates storage and compute without touching network infrastructure or data center clients.
The Lightbits team members were a key contributor to the NVMe standard and among the originators of NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF). Now, Lightbits is crafting the new NVMe/TCP standard.
As the trailblazers in this field, the Lightbits solution is already successfully tested in industry-leading cloud data centers.
The company’s shared NVMe architecture provides efficient and robust disaggregation. With a transition that is so smooth, your applications teams won’t even notice the change. They can now go wild with better tail latency than local SSDs!
Finally, you can separate storage from compute without drama.
