Lightbits Labs - IT Press Tour March 2020

Transcript

1. Hyperscale Storage for All March 2020
2. • software-defined storage • Scale • Standard infrastructure: • Reduce cost: • • • • Rich data services in software or hardware
3. • Founded • 70 Employees : – – • Main Locations • Funding – –
4. • • => • • => • • => • • => Need:
6. • • • • • • • •
7. 50-85% of flash expense is wasted!
8. Optional data services and protection acceleration card High performance, low latency NVMe/TCP Target w/data services Standard TCP/IP Network (no RDMA required) NVMe/TCP target NVMe/TCP target NVMe/TCP target NVMe/TCP target NVMe/TCP target NVMe/TCP target Openstack/KVM and Kubernetes/Container environments supported
9. • SSD failures ◦ • LightOS server failures ◦ • Network failures ◦ ◦ • Discovery service failures ◦ • Per-namespace redundancy schemes: ◦
10. • Test details: ◦ ◦ ▪ ▪ • Benefits to the application ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦
12. PowerEdge R740xd pre-configured with Lightbits sold through Dell
13. “ “ “ Lightbits out-performs the most expensive flash-array solutions at a fraction of the cost Lightbits is the only vendor integrating with OpenStack and k8s Lightbits network attached NVMe devices with as good or better performance as local NVME over our standard 10/25G Ethernet network is a game changer Lightbits similar performance to DAS reduce our server footprint by ~33% “
14. Bring Your Own Hardware • Software-defined solution • Runs on commodity storage server HW • Standard NVMe SSDs Don’t touch clients (Target side solution) • No proprietary client software • Clustering for high availability • Standard NVMe/TCP client driver No change in network (NVMe/TCP) • Use vanilla TCP/IP network infrastructure - ubiquitous, simple & efficient • Run on standard Ethernet NICs Global FTL • Thin Provisioning • Compression • RAID/EC • QoS services • Enhance Endurance and Latency • QLC ready • Optional storage acceleration card
15. Thank you!
