Why Partner with UpCloud?
I’ve been passionate about the hosting industry since 2001. Before founding UpCloud, my first company grew to become one of Finland’s largest shared web hosting providers, serving over 30,000 customers. Along the way, I faced the same challenges many of you know well—24/7 on-call responsibilities, solving technical issues, and managing customer inquiries.
At UpCloud, we’ve designed a platform that solves these challenges, offering reliability, scalability, and unparalleled support. We understand the pressures you face because we’ve been there too. Partner with us, and let’s help you focus on growing your business while we handle the rest.
Sincerely, Joel Pihlajamaa CTO, Founder

More than just data storage
Block Storage offers fast, efficient, and reliable data system optimized 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 utilize 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.
Get familiar with our storage solutions
MaxIOPS is a high-performance block storage technology developed in-house, delivering over 100k IOPS read performance at 4k block size, regardless of storage size or plan pricing.
Built on enterprise-grade SSDs, MaxIOPS provides up to 2x higher performance than industry-standard cloud servers and is included by default with all Simple plan Cloud Servers.
€0.220/GB/mo
Standard Storage is the cost-efficient but still highly performant storage tier, the perfect solution for general-purpose storage needs.
Designed to balance performance and affordability, this tier is ideal for a wide range of applications, including both development environments and production systems.
€0.085/GB/mo
Archive Storage is a cost-effective block storage solution ideal for large data volumes where high read and write speeds are not a primary concern.
It offers low-latency access to data directly on your Cloud Server’s file system and can be easily scaled up to 4TB per device or by attaching up to 16 storage devices per Cloud Server.
€0.056/GB/mo
All Block storage solutions offer their own benefits and ideal use cases. Cloud Servers can have up to 16 attached Block Storage devices: MaxIOPS, Standard, Archive, or a mixture of these. Choose the right storage solution for your needs.
