Simplyblock Expands into GCP, Proxmox, Talos, Integration, and New Serverless Postgres Partnership

BERLIN - June 20, 2025 - PRLog -- Simplyblock, the NVMe/TCP software-defined storage platform (https://www.simplyblock.io/) built for modern cloud-native applications, today announced the general availability of its June 2025 release. This release expands simplyblock's reach across public cloud and virtualization platforms while deepening its integration with leading Postgres-as-a-service offerings. Simplyblock integrates now natively with Linux, Kubernetes, Talos, AWS, GCP, and Proxmox.

Highlights of the June 2025 Release:

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Support
Simplyblock now offers native support for Google Compute Engine, making it easier than ever to deploy high-performance, scalable NVMe/TCP block storage within the GCP ecosystem. It supports both virtual machine and GKE deployments. This addition joins simplyblock's support for AWS, enabling multi-cloud storage strategies without compromise.

Proxmox Integration with Live VM Migration
With full integration into Proxmox VE, simplyblock now supports native storage for virtualized workloads, including live VM migration between nodes. This opens new possibilities for cloud service providers and enterprise private cloud deployments seeking high-performance storage for Proxmox. It comes particularly timely with many enterprises adopting Proxmox as an alternative to VMware.

Xata Partnership: An Enterprise-grade Alternative to Neon
Simplyblock is proud to power the next-generation PostgreSQL experience from Xata (https://www.simplyblock.io/blog/simplyblock-xata-partners...), bringing ultra-low latency, instant snapshots, and seamless branching to developers. As hyperscaler lock-in becomes a growing concern—underscored by Databricks' acquisition of Neon—the Xata + Simplyblock stack provides an open, scalable, and independent alternative for cloud-native Postgres users.

Massive Scalability on NUMA Systems
To unlock performance on modern multi-core machines, simplyblock now supports launching multiple storage nodes in parallel on the same host, optimizing for systems with multiple NUMA nodes. This delivers enhanced parallelism and horizontal scale—ideal for dense deployments and throughput-intensive workloads.

"We're continuing to make data infrastructure radically more powerful, portable, and serverless," said Rob Pankow, CEO of Simplyblock. "There's a clear industry trend toward delivering serverless experiences for legacy applications and databases. Simplyblock is at the heart of that transformation—helping any enterprise workload and any database become truly serverless."

Simplyblock stands out in the crowded storage landscape by offering a storage layer purpose-built for cloud-native environments—not retrofitted for them. With support for Kubernetes, virtual machines, disaggregated and hyper-converged architectures, and DevOps-friendly automation, simplyblock enables infrastructure teams to run high-performance workloads without compromise—wherever they are.
