Lightbits Block Storage for OpenShift
Build a Platform as a Service (PaaS) with the Fastest, Simplest OpenShift Virtualization Storage Solution.
Eliminate data center sprawl while accelerating application performance with fast, cost-efficient block storage for OpenShift.
Lightbits software-defined OpenShift Virtualization storage solution provides an fast and cost-efficient platform for modern application development delivering the speed direct-attached SSDs with the manageability of networked storage. Tailored for organizations seeking to modernize their data centers for efficiency, flexibility, and performance by combining software-defined storage with open-source solutions like Red Hat® OpenShift® Virtualization to run both containerized and virtualized workloads side by side.
With Lightbits you can consolidate more workloads onto fewer servers, maximizing your hardware investment and eliminate data center sprawl. Because the software runs on commodity hardware and leverages existing TCP/IP networks, it eliminates the need for expensive, specialized equipment to deliver a storage solution that not only performs better but also costs less to operate over time.
