KubeCon NA 2025: Lightbits and Arctera to Demonstrate Performance-Optimized Resilience for Red Hat OpenShift

Lightbits Labs Ltd., inventor of the NVMe over TCP storage protocol, announced a collaboration with Arctera, a global leader in data management. Together, the companies will showcase performance optimized, resilient storage for Red Hat OpenShift environments at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 (Booth #1153). The joint demonstration will feature Lightbits’ software-defined NVMe/TCP storage integrated with Arctera InfoScale, delivering a unified, cost-efficient, and high-performance foundation for OpenShift Virtualization, containers, and AI workloadsApplication-First Resilience, Accelerated
Traditional virtualization platforms, such as vSphere, Nutanix AHV, and Hyper-V, were built around infrastructure-first resilience, designed to keep hosts and virtual machines running. In contrast, OpenShift and InfoScale redefine resilience around applications and data, ensuring business continuity at the service level across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Together with Lightbits’ NVMe/TCP storage, resilience transformation is accelerated, enabling enterprise-grade HA and data protection at NVMe-class performance using standard Ethernet infrastructure. The solution integrates Lightbits’ software-defined NVMe/TCP multi-purpose block storage with Arctera InfoScale to deliver SAN-class HA (HA), unmatched performance, and cost-efficiency.

“This collaboration showcases the power of open, software-defined infrastructure. By combining Lightbits’ NVMe/TCP storage with Arctera InfoScale’s proven HA capabilities, organizations can run AI, analytics, and virtualized workloads on OpenShift with the performance and resilience required for today’s most demanding applications,” said Robert Terlizzi, head of product marketing, Lightbits Labs. 

Enterprise-Grade Performance and Availability for Modern Workloads
The combined solution enables OpenShift customers to:

• Simplified Management: Run VMs, containers, and AI workloads on one unified platform with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization
• True HA and Resiliency: Achieve near-zero RTO (RTO) and true zero RPO (RPO), ensuring HA even across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
• Cost Optimization: Reduce data center footprint by up to 80%
• AI-Ready Flexibility: Run data-hungry AI applications with ease, whether on-premises or on the public cloud
