LINBIT is a privately held company that develops open source software that is focused on high availability, disaster recovery, and software-defined storage solutions.[1] The company was founded November 6, 2001 by Philipp Reisner, CEO, and Gerhard Sternath, CFO, and maintains headquarters in Vienna, Austria.[2] It has 35 to 40 full time employees in Europe, mostly in Vienna, and 30 employees in the U.S.[3]
LINBIT created and actively develops the DRBD Linux kernel module and related software utilities. Linux kernel creator, Linus Torvalds, announced the merge of DRBD into version 2.6.33 of the Linux kernel on December 8, 2009.[4] The merge was completed on February 24, 2010,[5] and Torvalds called DRBD a "noticeable feature" in the kernel release announcement.[6]
In 2020, LINBIT benchmarked 14.8 million IOPS with its software set up on hyperconverged Intel hardware through Intel's Data Center Builders program. The benchmark broke IOPS records previously set by other data storage software on similar hardware.[7] Technology news website ZDNET describes LINBIT's software as "the fastest replication technology in the Linux world."[8]
LINBIT's storage software has been used by Amazon, Apple, Cisco, Google, IBM, Intel, Oracle, Red Hat, and Yahoo!.[9]
