Application-First Resilience, Accelerated

Traditional virtualization platforms, such as VMware 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 High Availability (HA), unmatched performance, and cost-efficiency.

Robert Terlizzi, Head of Product Marketing at Lightbits Labs: “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.”

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 (Recovery Time Objective) and true zero RPO (Recovery Point Objective), 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.

Attendees can book demonstrations and meet with experts from Lightbits Labs and Arctera to explore how to modernize OpenShift operations for performance, resilience, and scale.
