All-Flash Storage

Blockbridge is a complete solution for all flash enterprise block storage that supports diverse hardware and applications.

Modern storage with universal support for legacy applications.

Programmable

Total control of operation, efficiency and management. Automate application delivery, support, and operations, even if you’re not a developer.

Elastic

On-demand discovery, provisioning, and configuration. Add capacity, performance and new classes of storage without disruption.

Multi-Tenant

Crypto-isolated data and private management. Deploy applications and customers at scale with security, visibility and control.

Mobility

Replication, migration and block-object capabilities for disaster tolerance and hybrid cloud. Securely move between locations and tiers of storage.

Consistent features, mobility and scale across heterogenous hardware.

Blockbridge enables comprehensive control over storage operation and management. Powerful automation tools and user interfaces streamline service delivery end-to-end, including performance provisioning and host configuration. Automated security functions, fine-grained multi-tenancy, and extensible management features enable enterprise applications to reliably operate in modern platforms including OpenStack, Docker and Kubernetes.

What is Blockbridge?

Blockbridge is a complete storage software solution for the enterprise. Our software delivers fine-grained multi-tenant elastic block storage. We solve management, storage and security challenges for modern storage infrastructure.

What is Elastic Storage?

Elastic storage is a system or service that enables on-demand discovery, provisioning, configuration and reclamation of storage resources. It is an essential element of automated infrastructure and cloud deployments.

How is Blockbridge used?

Blockbridge is commonly deployed as elastic block storage for a cloud or service-oriented infrastructure. Customers also use our security and management capabilities for secure storage, disaster tolerance, self-healing systems and intrusion detection.

Blockbridge is Software?

Yes. Our software transforms commodity hardware into an elastic iSCSI storage service. We’ve built a tightly integrated software stack of segmentation and virtualization technologies specifically designed to address the management, storage and security challenges of elastic environments.

What about Hardware?

Blockbridge software operates on any x86_64 based platform (bare-metal or virtual). You can deploy any block based technology: spinners, ssd, nvme, nvdimm, internal storage, DAS, SAN, etc. You can leverage existing storage investments as well as mix technologies, capacities, and vendors.

Does it scale?

A single domain scales to thousands of geographically distributed service endpoints. It’s easy to efficiently achieve massive capacity, IOPS and throughput. Most importantly, adding nodes does not scale the failure domain.

Software-Defined Storage?

Software-Defined Storage is basically the concept of utilizing software that delivers enterprise storage functionality on commodity hardware. This approach is compelling to many customers. Software-defined storage is one use case among many that Blockbridge is well-suited to enable within your environment.

Blockbridge is Multi-Tenant?

Yes. The Blockbridge architecture enables tenants to operate in shared physical infrastructure with dedicated resources and private management. We also deliver sophisticated security guarantees for tenant data, networking and management functions.

Secure Multi-Tenancy?

Secure multi-tenancy refers to features and guarantees that protect assets from harm (ie. loss, exposure, tampering, etc). It’s a collection of hundreds of implementation details. Key generation, delegation, secure deletion, auditing, role based management, and intrusion detection are core features, not an afterthought.
