Lightbits Labs and CYBERTEC Announce Strategic Alliance

via Business Wire

Collaboration targets performance-sensitive workloads for financial services, fintech, and e-commerce organizations running large-scale PostgreSQL deployments

Lightbits Labs (Lightbits®), the innovation leader in software-defined, disaggregated, NVMe® over TCP storage, and CYBERTEC, the largest PostgreSQL consultancy and services delivery company in Europe, today announced a strategic technical alliance that offers optimized next-gen infrastructure for high-performance PostgreSQL workload needs. The collaboration combines CYBERTEC’s PostgreSQL expertise with Lightbits’ high-performance block storage to help organizations overcome the storage bottlenecks that limit the growth and performance of PostgreSQL databases at scale.

The partnership between Lightbits and CYBERTEC is designed to meet the performance and cost-efficiency needs of organizations with rapidly growing Postgres environments. These organizations often seek to scale their databases on bare metal, in Kubernetes and OpenStack environments, but find that their current storage providers cannot cost-efficiently meet the performance demands of their workloads.

"Many of our customers, including the largest banks and fintech organizations in Europe, are using PostgreSQL for their most critical, performance-intensive applications," said Jan Karremans, Head of Sales at CYBERTEC. "As they scale, they are encountering significant performance limitations and higher costs with traditional storage solutions. Our integrated solution with Lightbits provides them with a truly modern data platform, helping them achieve massive performance gains and lower costs."

Lightbits invented NVMe/TCP, the protocol of the future for high-performance data access, which is natively integrated into the software, delivering consistent low latency. Legacy storage with bloated protocols hit performance bottlenecks at scale. The Lightbits and CYBERTEC solution solves this, providing a high-performance and easily manageable data platform that can scale to petabytes.

Key benefits of the joint solution include:

  • Scalable Performance: Linearly scales to support petabyte-scale PostgreSQL deployments with predictable, low-latency performance.
  • Cloud-Native Integration: Optimized for Kubernetes and OpenStack environments where PostgreSQL is most often deployed.
  • Operational Simplicity: Provides a unified, easy-to-manage storage platform that simplifies database administration and infrastructure management.

“As enterprises push PostgreSQL to its limits, the combination of CYBERTEC and Lightbits provides a compelling solution to meet cost-efficiency and scalability demands without compromising performance,” said Rex Manseau, CRO of Lightbits Labs. "CYBERTEC’s unparalleled expertise in the PostgreSQL community, combined with our leadership in software-defined NVMe/TCP storage, will enable organizations to modernize their infrastructure as they scale their Postgres environments.”

The alliance will focus on helping customers migrate their PostgreSQL workloads from legacy, performance-limiting storage to a modern platform that supports data-intensive workloads at scale.
