@xata.io published this incredible blog post as a reaction to @planetscale.com benchmark the other day 🔥

It's beautiful to see the performance gain possible by utilizing our @simplyblock.io storage layer 💙

We're happy to join @xata.io and provide the storage foundation of their new #Postgres platform.

Congratulations to the launch. Stronger. Together.

Distributed storage system mounted over NVMe/TCP.

Xata uses an architecture that separates storage from compute. We’ve partnered with @simplyblock.io in order to integrate their distributed software-defined storage system in the Xata platform. 

Simplyblock uses NVMe/TCP and SPDK for ultra-high performance and low latency.

Bare-Metal or Virtualized #Kubernetes? 🤔

Our CEO @robpankow.bsky.social has a clear opinion. There is no good reason to run Kubernetes virtualized. Unless you want to waste worthwhile hardware resources that is.

How do you use Kubernetes? 🧵👇

See the difference!

Hey my #Kubernetes friends in #Berlin —this is for you!

We're starting a new roadshow called "All In Kubernetes" and as you can assume, it's all in and around Kubernetes, but especially anything Data on Kubernetes

Event time Jan 29th. If you have time I would love to see you!

💡 Scalable architectures, two concepts: 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚-𝙐𝙥 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚-𝙊𝙪𝙩

But when to use one over the other?

@noctarius.com compares the approaches: simplicity and limited scalability vs complexity and higher scalability.

NVMe over TCP vs iSCSI: Evolution of Network Storage How replacing iSCSI with NVMe over TCP helped to evolve network storage.

❓ Have you ever heard of NVMe over TCP protocol?
❓Do you know how it compares to traditional iSCSI?

In the newest blog post we are looking into evolution of networked storage and compare NVMe/TCP vs. iSCSI.

📖 Enjoy the read!

How to make me feel "Short Circuit"? 😅🫣🤣

Something wonderful has happened... Storage No. 5 is alive. It's using simplyblock.

Do you remember No. 5?

I've always been interested in encryption. While I suck at math, it fascinated me. Just like other things way above my head ... e.g. string theory 😅🫣🤣

Encrypting data is super important. Thankfully DARE, or Date At Rest Encryption, provides us with a great set of guidelines and best practices. ⬇️

Encryption At Rest: A Comprehensive Guide to DARE Data At Rest Encryption (DARE) encrypts data when stored on a storage medium.

❓ Have you ever wondered what's the difference between data-at-rest and data-in-use? If yes, check out our latest blog post on Data At Rest Encryption (#DARE).

Simplyblock provides data-at-rest encryption with a fully multi-tenant DARE feature set.
