Lightbits Enables Infrastructure
Modernization and Powers
Your Data-Driven Business
Software-defined storage, purpose-built for organizations transitioning to a cloud operating model, offers superior efficiency, performance, and resiliency for modern workloads, ensuring optimal and consistent low latency at scale.
Why leading organizations choose Lightbits
More organizations choose Lightbits for data center modernization because they cannot achieve a true cloud operations model with traditional storage systems—DAS, FC SAN, and Ceph Storage. If you are fed up with the scaling, performance, operational and cost efficiency balancing act of other systems — Lightbits is your solution.
We offer best-in-class, disaggregated software-defined block storage that combines unmatched low consistent latency, high-throughput performance with exceptional scalability, cost-efficiency, and flexibility, making it an ideal solution for data center modernization and transition to a cloud operating model.
Whether you are building data infrastructure from the ground up using KVM, Kubernetes, VMWare, or Red Hat OpenStack or OpenShift Lightbits will power any application in your virtualized and containerized environments with optimal price/performance, enabling your growth while simplifying data storage management.

Lightbits Eliminates the Limitations of Legacy Alternatives
Limitations of DAS
Applications locked to servers and storage leads to low utilization of CPU and storage
Application-based replication and recovery over network causes service degradation
Limitations of HCI
Scaling storage and compute together wastes resources
Hypervisor design yields inconsistent latency
Can’t mix virtualized and non-virtualized workloads
Limitations of SAN
Proprietary expensive appliances
More complex networking required to deliver high performance
Requires specialized storage network with expensive equipment, trained staff
Vendor lock-in with less flexibility
Limitations of Public Cloud
Expensive high performance storage tiers
Storage performance bottlenecks
Storage scalability limitations
Limited or high cost data services
Customer Stories
With Lightbits as part of our platform we can achieve 16 times the performance at half the cost of AI Clouds from American hyperscalers.
Lightbits' high-performance block storage solution has addressed our storage challenges, unlocking the full potential of Crusoe Cloud's infrastructure and empowering users to pursue innovative research and development in the field of climate science and AI. Together, Crusoe Cloud and Lightbits are driving the future of climate-focused computing toward a more sustainable and efficient tomorrow.
"....thank you guys for the incredible support...your Storage is fast as hell." Metalstack.cloud is building its PaaS using Lightbits, a faster alternative to Ceph.
I can absolutely recommend using Lightbits over Ceph, much simpler, way faster, a perfect match for Kubernetes and container workloads.
With the platform built on Lightbits software and Intel hardware we were able to deliver the performance our customers required and could be confident telling them that their data was in safe hands.
We strive to provide best in class digital edge cloud experience, and we are excited to innovate together with partners like Intel and Lightbits to push performance to the next level.
Lightbits software-defined storage solution running on standard servers is at least 33% lower latency at ½ the cost of proprietary AFAs.
Lightbits provides users with a high-performance, easy-to-maintain, and low-cost storage solution based on the data center Ethernet-TCP network. This protocol provides great flexibility and is suitable for bare metal, containers, databasses, and other scenarios.
For years, NVMe/TCP has offered the promise of improved performance, increased deployment flexibility, and better cost efficiency through ‘hyperscale-style’ disaggregation of storage and compute, so we’re excited to see Lightbits, VMware, and Intel collaborating to bring this capability to our customers.
Lightbits is purpose-built for cloud-native, high-performance database applications. Our customers in financial services, gaming, and manufacturing industries see immediate business value in how Lightbits can speed time to market by provisioning storage services and cloud-based applications faster, in a secure and multi-tenant environment, while also lowering their TCO,
With our combined solution, IT organizations can manage their cloud infrastructure from a secure, on-premises, virtualized and container-driven orchestration platform with Lightbits as the high-performance back-end storage platform. Our joint customers, like Starview International, save on costs, simplify their infrastructure, and enable faster application deployment.
Lightbits is revolutionizing NVMe-oF by delivering low latency, high performance NVMe storage over standard TCP networks that accelerate data intensive and latency sensitive workloads such as Cassandra, MySQL. As software-defined storage, it provides the agility needed for modern, cloud native infrastructure.
