More than just data storage

Foundations for success

Block Storage offers fast, efficient, and reliable data system optimized for minimal latency and is the default for all Cloud Servers.

Resilient

Highly available – We developed our storage solutions to not only be highly performant but also highly reliable. Performance means nothing without reliability!

Scalable

Incredibly flexible – Add the exact amount of storage space you need, up to 4 TB per volume — you can always resize block storage later!

Transferable

Easy to transfer from one server to another – With just a few clicks in the control panel or via the many tools supported by the UpCloud API, you can quickly move block storage devices between Cloud Servers.

Compute and storage separation

Our Block storage runs on a dedicated backend separately from the computational hosts. This way your Cloud Servers can be automatically restarted on another host should the compute backend experience failure.

Supercomputer standards

We utilize InfiniBand networking for maximum throughput and minimum latency between compute and storage systems. It is the most commonly used interconnecting network in supercomputers.

Backups and cloning

Snapshots & scheduled backups – Instantly create or schedule periodic backups with Simple Backup. Using true snapshots, backups are created in a blink of an eye and can be restored almost as quickly.
