metalstack.cloud delivers Kubernetes as a Service with Lightbits in ~1 minute

metalstack.cloud, a German Kubernetes Platform as a Service provider, needed a storage solution for its bare-metal Kubernetes platform that could deliver best-in-class performance, strong multi-tenant security, and a Kubernetes-native API. The challenge was to find a cost-efficient system that provided excellent tenant separation to meet strict data protection regulations while competing with hyperscaler performance and pricing.

The vendor Lightbits implemented its Cloud Data Platform, which integrated seamlessly via a CSI plugin. The solution delivered exceptional low-latency performance over the existing 100G network, eliminating the need for new networking technology. For metalstack.cloud, Lightbits provided the high performance, resiliency, and cost-efficiency required to offer their customers a secure, competitive, and compliant storage service.
