The Lightbits Cinder driver for OpenStack enables OpenStack clusters to use Lightbits clustered storage servers via standard APIs. The Lightbits clusters expose storage volumes using NVMe/TCP Asynchronous Namespace Access (ANA). ANA is a relatively new feature in the NVMe/TCP stack implemented as a way for the storage array to inform an initiator of the optimal network path for accessing a given volume. With Lightbits, OpenStack clouds can enjoy cloud-native, high performance, scale-out, and highly available storage with no compromise, out of the box.
