Block & Object Storage
High-IOPS persistent block storage for databases and scalable object storage for media and backups.
What this is
Enterprise storage solutions split across low-latency NVMe block volumes mounted directly to compute instances and S3-compatible distributed object storage for media, logs, and backups.
How it works
- 1Block storage: Attached via high-speed network fabric with independent volume snapshots.
- 2Object storage: S3-compatible HTTP API endpoints for uploading and serving media assets.
- 3Data replicated across redundant physical drives to protect against disk failures.
- 4Automatic volume expansion without requiring unmounting.
What's included
| Block Storage | NVMe-backed persistent volumes |
| Object Storage | S3-compatible API for unstructured files |
| Data Redundancy | Multi-drive physical parity / Ceph replication |
| Snapshots | Instant point-in-time volume snapshots |
Suitability assessment
✓ When this makes sense
- •Databases and file servers requiring steady IOPS without bus contention.
- •Applications serving large user media libraries, PDFs, or software binaries.
- •Off-site archive and backup repositories.
✕ When it doesn't
- •Ephemeral temporary caches where in-memory Redis or local scratch disks are faster.
