We believe that enterprise-grade performance and reliability should be available for every company. With this thought in mind, we developed our own storage technology by the name MaxIOPS.
It’s explicitly built to give you the best I/O performance per dollar, without sacrificing any reliability! MaxIOPS often provides you with more than 2x the performance over enterprise-grade SSDs. In addition, to provide you with the consistent, high performance we’ve had to limit it to 100,000 IOPS per virtual storage device!
Industry leading IaaS marketplace analyst Cloud Spectator has chosen UpCloud twice as #1 performance leader in Europe among 10 top European cloud providers (Microsoft Azure, AWS, DigitalOcean, Google, 1and1, CenturyLink, Rackspace, OVH, and Softlayer).
Microsoft Azure’s block storage has a very low performance even if you select the Premium SSD. If you are looking for high-performance storage on Azure, you have to upgrade to their Ultra disk storage plan which still caps throughput by disk capacity.
Private networking and Floating IPs are essentials in building modern and scalable web applications. A private network lets your cloud servers communicate through a secure channel that is not exposed to the public network (i.e. the Internet) and doesn’t count towards your bandwidth costs.
Unlike on most cloud providers, our private Utility network spans all our data centres and regions and is not isolated to a single data centre.

With UpCloud, you get full flexibility with resources you use! All cloud servers can be deployed using cost-effective Simple plans or with fully customizable Flexible plans, completely according to your budget and needs. You can choose the amount of CPUs, RAM and storage that your service or application needs. Also, you are able to switch between Simple plans and Flexible configurations at any time. With this much freedom, you are in complete control of your performance and costs.
When choosing Microsoft Azure, you are forced to pick from a confusing number of resource plans they have pieced together for you. Once you’ve selected a plan you can’t be as flexible as you want with it. If you ever hit a bottleneck with resources provided by Azure your only option is to try to find a new plan that somewhat matching your requirements. By doing so you end up with a considerably more expensive system and wasting money on resources you don’t use.
