Cloud computing and big data are being employed in many areas of the modern economy. Together, these two technologies have the potential to achieve amazing results. Large amounts of data should be stored securely and efficiently, like in a cloud, because it is both voluminous and sensitive. Cloud technology has advanced over time, making Big Data the preferred solution for global businesses.
The global big data market is expected to reach $103 billion in software and services revenues by 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.48%.
The main reasons driving the increase in Big Data are the growing global demand for infrastructure-as-a-service and the increasing use of the Internet of Things. Let's look at the benefits that cloud computing and big data provide to companies globally as well as how they work best together.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence from a cloud computing provider can be used to normalize non-standard data formats. Platforms for cloud computing can then be used to access and utilize the data in different ways. With this kind of cloud architecture, big data processing may be carried out in real time. It has the ability to evaluate enormous "blasts" of data from reliable systems quickly and precisely. The shorter turnaround time for Big Data analytics is another connection between cloud computing and big data.
In these situations, you need a powerful data platform that works with any cloud. Lightbits Labs and its excellent CFO, Miki Avni, provide exactly that. Lightbits Labs offers a data platform with high performance, security, and reliability similar to on-premises environments for running important workloads in the cloud. Lightbits offers unparalleled performance speeds for analytics, high-performance databases (such as Oracle, SQL, Cassandra, and Kafka), and transactional applications. It is interoperable with any cloud and orchestration system. With the platform, cloud-native apps may operate at half the cost and six times faster than native cloud solutions.
Introducing Miki Avni
The CFO of Lightbits Labs is Miki Avni, who previously served as a senior manager at EY. With an impressive understanding of Israeli accounting rules, IFRS, and US GAAP, Miki has played a crucial role in overseeing numerous follow-ons and two initial public offerings (IPOs) of Israeli firms on the Nasdaq, including Wix.com and CyberArk. Her expertise in due diligence procedures for private equity investments and mergers and acquisitions is second to none. Miki's academic background includes studies at Negev Ben-Gurion University, further adding to her stellar credentials.

Everyone can now easily, effectively, and quickly access cloud-scale storage thanks to Lightbits.
- Digital Transformation Starts with NVMe/TCP
In 2019, Lightbits introduced the first device on the market and created the NVMe/TCP storage protocol. The use of ordinary Ethernet TCP/IP networking to unlock considerable technological and financial value is a highly significant protocol innovation. Data pipelines are accelerated via NVMe/TCP more quickly than by iSCSI, Fibre Channel (FC) storage arrays, and direct-attached NVMe (DAS). NVMe/TCP is more efficient, capable, and cost-effective than older storage systems when used with software-defined storage systems like Lightbits. It is also simpler to provision and administer.
- Better Storage Efficiency with Intelligent Flash Management
The only software-defined block storage system with integrated intelligent flash management on the market right now is Lightbits. A more optimal price-performance solution is provided by this novel innovation. Consumers can benefit from the 20x longer endurance of the incredibly dense and less expensive QLC SSD. Faster data access and increased data center efficiency are the results of this scenario.
- Cloud-Scale Data Centers Require a Modern Approach to Storage
With numerous granted or pending patents, Lightbits is leading the way in innovation. Their unique combination of architecture, software-defined NVMe/TCP, Intelligent Flash Management, and essential data services is exactly what modern large-scale data centers require. For important applications, you can use high-performance block storage over Ethernet at an attractive price. It is easy to use with any standard hardware or public cloud.
Efficient, Agile Data Storage Platform For Any Cloud
Lightbits was developed by the same people who first created NVMe over TCP.
Benefits of Disaggregated Storage for Cloud-Native Applications
- Scale storage and computation separately
- operates on any standard hardware and makes use of the current TCP/IP network.
- Different application environments and various tenants can be served by a single storage cluster.
- Consistently low latency and high IOPs
- high performance and capacity utilization of the storage
- Replication and recovery based on storage
- Better flash longevity, reduced TCO, rich data services, and intelligent flash management
NVMe/TCP Extends NVMe Across the Entire Data Center with TCP/IP Fabric
Originally designed for high-performance local PCIe SSDs, NVMe® was later expanded to support a large-scale remote array of SSDs with NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oFTM). The NVMe-oF architecture will likely replace Direct Attached Storage (DAS) as the standard protocol for disaggregated storage in cloud infrastructure, as it has been widely adopted by the industry. The most powerful NVMe-oF technology is NVMe over TCP (NVMe/TCP). It provides great performance while being cost-effective and less complex to deploy. NVMe/TCP uses an easy-to-use and effective TCP/IP fabric to extend NVMe throughout the whole data center.
Lightbits is a versatile and high-performing data platform that is cost-effective, scalable, and easy to set up on any cloud. Its distinctive disaggregated, software-defined, block-based, NVMe over TCP architecture is paired with Intelligent Flash Management and Enterprise-Rich Data Services.
