The Lightbits Cinder driver for OpenStack enables OpenStack clusters to use Lightbits clustered storage servers via standard APIs. The Lightbits clusters expose storage volumes using NVMe/TCP Asynchronous Namespace Access (ANA). ANA is a relatively new feature in the NVMe/TCP stack implemented as a way for the storage array to inform an initiator of the optimal network path for accessing a given volume. With Lightbit’s, OpenStack clouds can enjoy cloud-native, high performance, scale-out, and highly available storage with no compromise, out of the box.
The OpenStack Yoga support means users will get the Lightbit’s driver built-in. With OpenStack, Lightbit’s helps reduce the complexity of building a private cloud on open source platforms, allowing customers to benefit from faster deployment of cloud services. And with Lightbits’ unique Intelligent Flash Management™ built-in, customers improve the endurance and performance of their flash storage media. Additionally, Lightbit’s can be used as a high-performance data platform to run container-based applications in a Kubernetes environment as well as virtualized applications in a VMware vSphere environment.
