About simplyblock
Simplyblock provides a distributed storage solution for IO-intensive and latency-sensitive container workloads in the cloud, offering an alternative to Elastic Block Storage services. The storage solution enables thin provisioning, encryption, compression, storage virtualization, and more.
Ultra-high performance at low TCO, offering available for AWS, fully containerized, deployment. Up to 100x improved cost-to-performance over currently prevailing software-defined storage technologies like Ceph.
Start from single node, grow to 255 nodes in a single cluster. Scales safely with zero downtime. Performance scales linearly. Storage entities (logical volumes) are provisioned and attached on cluster-level, no manual configuration required.
Drop-in replacement for your current k8s storage solution. Offers easy integration via StorageClass. Write concurrently on multiple containers and nodes via distributed file system support.

DRBD
DRBD® (Distributed Replicated Block Device) is an open source, software‑based, shared‑nothing block storage replication solution for Linux, designed primarily to deliver high-performance, high‑availability (HA) data services by mirroring local block devices between nodes in real time, either synchronously or asynchronously. Implemented deep in the Linux kernel as a virtual block‑device driver, DRBD ensures local read performance with efficient write‑through replication to peer(s). User‑space utilities like drbdadm, drbdsetup, and drbdmeta enable declarative configuration, metadata management, and administration across installations. Originally built for two‑node HA clusters, DRBD 9.x extends support to multi‑node replication and integration into software‑defined storage (SDS) systems such as LINSTOR, making it suitable for cloud‑native environments.

StorPool Storage
StorPool is a fully managed primary storage platform for businesses that host many mission-critical workloads in their own datacenters. We provide the easiest way to convert standard servers stacked with NVMe SSDs into high-performance, linearly scalable primary storage systems. Companies building their own public or private clouds use StorPool as a superior alternative to mid-range and high-end SANs and All-Flash Arrays (AFA). StorPool delivers above and beyond what is possible with other primary storage products in terms of reliability, agility, speed, and cost-effectiveness. It’s an excellent replacement for legacy storage architectures like mid- or high-end primary storage arrays and products that just use a software-defined approach to copy the base array, expansion shelf architecture. Exceptional performance, reliability and increased ROI from your cloud computing offering.
