Explore our comprehensive storage solutions: MaxIOPS, Standard, and Archive, and find the perfect fit for your needs! MaxIOPS is our in-house developed block storage technology that gives you industry-leading performance and reliability.
More than just data storage
Block Storage offers fast, efficient, and reliable data system optimised for minimal latency and is the default for all Cloud Servers.
Highly available – We developed our storage solutions to not only be highly performant but also highly reliable. Performance means nothing without reliability!
Incredibly flexible – Add the exact amount of storage space you need, up to 4 TB per volume — you can always resize block storage later!
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.
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.
We utilise InfiniBand networking for maximum throughput and minimum latency between compute and storage systems. It is the most commonly used interconnecting network in supercomputers.
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.
