About
LightBits Labs develops innovative solutions providing enterprises with significant cloud infrastructure benefits. The Lightbits platform separates compute and storage, allowing each to scale independently in the cloud infrastructure. The platform creates smooth transition from inefficient direct-attached SSDs (DAS) to a low-latency shared pool of NVMe SSDs. By delivering the parallelism of non-volatile memory express (NVMe) over TCP, Lightbits technology provides up to a 50% reduction in tail-latency at the same IOPS of direct-attached NVMe SSDs. The solution is based on NVMe/TCP with direct-attached SSD performance that keeps up with cutting-edge flash performance. LightBits Labs brings together an experienced team of technology professionals with deep expertise in storage, operating systems, high-speed networking, ASIC/FPGA, hardware design, and solid-state storage technology.
