Open Source Software-Defined Storage Management

LINSTOR has multiple uses, but it is typically used to manage a large number of DRBD replicated storage resources to ensure high availability and proven high performance for data that your applications and services depend on. LINSTOR integrates with many platforms, including Kubernetes, CloudStack, Docker, OpenNebula, Proxmox VE, and more.

LINSTOR’S MISSION

The mission of LINSTOR is to make it easier and more efficient to manage software-defined storage resources within Linux clusters and bring high availability and high performance to the data that your applications depend on.

LINSTOR is a flexible solution and you can use it on bare-metal clusters, in a cloud or hybrid cloud, virtualized, or in containers. You can also integrate LINSTOR with many platforms, such as Kubernetes, CloudStack, Docker, OpenNebula, Proxmox VE, and others. By using LINSTOR’s native integrations, you can build, run, and control persistent block storage solutions in these platforms more simply. You can also bring data storage features to platforms that you might not otherwise be able to, such as high availability (by using DRBD), and disaster recovery (by using snapshot shipping).

To make deploying and running LINSTOR hassle-free, LINBIT® offers an enterprise subscription, LINBIT SDS, which includes LINSTOR, DRBD, related software utilities, and expert support from LINBIT engineers and developers. From planning to production, LINBIT can help you and your operations team succeed with LINBIT SDS.
