Coredge Selects Lightbits to Power AI Cloud Services Infrastructure

Collaboration Delivers OpenShift-based Kubernetes Platforms Without the High Cost and Rigidity of Legacy SAN

SAN JOSE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lightbits Labs (Lightbits®), inventor of the NVMe® over TCP storage protocol, today announced that Coredge, a leading cloud solutions provider, has selected Lightbits software-defined storage to power next-gen AI cloud services. Following its recent acquisition by Sirius Digitech, Coredge is scaling its platforms to support large-scale AI adoption across regulated industries, telecommunications providers, and public-sector entities worldwide. This collaboration is intended to establish a multi-petabyte-scale, cloud-native infrastructure deployment in India to support Coredge’s rapidly expanding footprint without the high cost and rigidity of legacy SAN architectures.

Founded in 2020, Coredge builds and operates cloud-native platforms that enable organizations to deploy and manage AI, Kubernetes, and OpenShift workloads. Its sovereign OpenShift-based Kubernetes cloud infrastructure is optimized for performance-sensitive use cases, including AI training and inference, real-time analytics, and mission-critical enterprise applications as configured and governed by customer-specific and regulatory requirements.

“AI workloads demand far more than raw capacity—they require predictable low latency and consistent performance at scale,” said Abhimanyu Bhatter, Co-Founder and Associate Vice President of Technology at Coredge. “Lightbits enables us to grow our business by delivering highly performant, premium services using open, software-defined, NVMe-based infrastructure that aligns with our operational strategy.”

To support a large-scale deployment expansion in India, Coredge required a storage architecture capable of delivering consistent, low-latency, high-throughput, and elastic scalability, while integrating seamlessly with its OpenShift-based Kubernetes environments. Coredge selected Lightbits for its ability to deliver high-performance block storage over standard Ethernet, without specialized networking fabrics. Legacy SAN and proprietary appliance-based storage architectures introduced cost, operational complexity, and scaling constraints that were incompatible with Coredge’s cloud-native design principles.

By deploying Lightbits, Coredge expects to achieve significant advantages:

• Reduced TCO: Leveraging commodity hardware, high-performance storage using standard Ethernet networks, and thin provisioning services to reduce TCO at scale.
• NVMe/TCP-direct Architecture: Designed to deliver predictable low latency and high throughput.
• Enhanced Resiliency: Built-in data protection and compatibility with modern backup and recovery solutions, such as Veeam Kasten. Fast snapshots for speedier recovery help meet stringent availability, durability, and compliance requirements.
• Ecosystem Compatibility: Seamless integrations with OpenShift and Kubernetes enable Coredge to streamline operations, accelerating time-to-market for new services.

“Lightbits provides the speed and predictability required for the latency-sensitive workloads run on Coredge’s platforms, while at the same time providing Coredge the ability to scale on commodity infrastructure cost-efficiently,” added Keimpe Paulus, Vice President and EMEA Territory Lead at Lightbits Labs. “We’re excited to support their goal to expand their platforms and services.”

As Coredge expands its AI and cloud services globally, Lightbits will play a central role in supporting scalable, secure, and high-performance data infrastructure.
