Lightbits Certified on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Lightbits Labs, Ltd. announced certification of Lightbits on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), ushering in a new era of high-performance, cost-effective block storage for enterprises running latency-sensitive IO-intensive workloads.

Now, OCI customers can harness the power of Lightbits to create Kubernetes persistent volumes for performance-intensive workloads in their own tenancies, with security and cost-efficiency. Lightbits certified on OCI enables organizations to run its most demanding, latency-sensitive workloads with sub-millisecond tail latencies, for AI/ML, latency-sensitive databases, and real-time analytics workloads. With Lightbits, enterprises can easily scale while achieving superior reliability and operational efficiency.

“Our collaboration with Lightbits and its certification on OCI delivers a modern approach to cloud storage with the performance and efficiency that enables our customers to bring their latency demanding enterprise workloads to OCI,” said Cameron Bahar, SVP, storage and data management, OCI Storage.

Recent certification FIO benchmarks, conducted with BM.DenseIO.E5.128 bare-metal OCI Compute shapes, supported by 2 BM.Standard.E5.192 shapes as clients, running Lightbits software on Oracle Linux 9.4, revealed impressive results:

3 million 4K random read IO/s and 830,000 4K random write IOPS per client with a replication factor of 3, saturating the 100GbE network card on BM.Standard.E5.192 servers.

Sub-300μs latencies for both 4K random read and write operations, and 1ms operational latency when fully utilizing the clients for both random reads and writes–delivering lightning-fast performance even under heavy loads.

In a mixed workload scenario (70% random reads, 30% random writes), each client achieved a combined 1.8 million IO/s, setting a new benchmark for efficiency at scale.

“Certification on OCI marks a major step forward for Lightbits,” said Kam Eshghi, co-founder and chief strategy officer of Lightbits. “We’re delivering a breakthrough in block storage performance, giving organizations the tools they need to migrate their most demanding applications to OCI and achieve faster, more reliable, and more efficient cloud services.”
