Case Study: Zenlayer achieves high-performance, cost-efficient edge cloud services with Lightbits Labs

Accelerating Edge Cloud Services and Real-Time Digital Experiences with Lightbits and Intel

Zenlayer, an edge cloud service provider, faced challenges scaling its legacy direct-attached storage (DAS) architecture. The company needed a high-performance, secure, and multi-tenant storage solution that was easy to manage, cost-efficient, and could protect against hardware failures. This led them to explore solutions from the vendor, Lightbits Labs.

Lightbits provided its software-defined storage solution, the Lightbits Cloud Data Platform, which leverages NVMe/TCP. The implementation, accelerated by Intel technologies, resulted in a 20% reduction in storage management costs for Zenlayer. The solution delivered ultra-low latency, high IOPS performance, and easy scalability, allowing Zenlayer to offer superior multi-tenant edge cloud services to its customers.
