LINSTOR’S MISSION
LINSTOR is Open source software designed to manage block storage devices for large Linux server clusters. Its enterprise subscription LINBIT SDS, which includes DRBD, LINSTOR & Expert Support, is used for providing persistent Linux block storage for Kubernetes, OpenStack, OpenNebula, and OpenShift environments.

Fastest Persistent Storage


The Science of the System

Controller, Satellite, and User Interface
The LINSTOR® system consists of multiple server and client components.
- A LINSTOR controller manages the configuration of the LINSTOR cluster and all its managed storage resources
- The LINSTOR satellite component manages the creation, modification, and deletion of storage resources on each node that provides or uses LINSTOR-managed storage resources
- All communication between LINSTOR components use LINSTOR’s network protocol, based on TCP/IP network connections
- Manage the storage system by using a command-line utility to interact with the active LINSTOR controller.
- Alternatively, integrate the LINSTOR system into the storage architecture of other software systems, such as Kubernetes

- The storage system can be managed by directly using a GUI or a command line utility to interact with the active LINSTOR controller. Alternatively, users may integrate the LINSTOR system into the storage architecture of other software systems, such as Kubernetes

Built With Developers In Mind
LINSTOR® has a container storage interface (CSI) driver for Kubernetes and is compatible with OpenShift. LINSTOR can also be used independently of a cloud, virtualization, or container platform to manage large DRBD clusters.
