How it works

1

Create Volume

Create block storage volumes through our web interface or API, specifying size, performance tier, and configuration options for your requirements.

2

Attach to VM

Attach block storage volumes to your virtual machines or containers, mounting them as storage devices for operating systems and applications.

3

Format & Use

Format volumes with your preferred file system (ext4, xfs, NTFS, etc.) and use them like local storage for databases, applications, and data.

4

Scale & Manage

Scale storage volumes as needed, take snapshots for backups, and manage volumes through web interface or API with comprehensive management features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Block Storage is a high-performance storage solution that provides raw storage volumes to your applications and databases. Unlike file storage, block storage offers direct access to raw storage blocks, making it ideal for applications that require low-latency, high-throughput access to data.

Block storage provides raw storage blocks for databases and applications requiring low-latency access, while object storage stores data as objects with metadata, ideal for files and unstructured data. Block storage is better for databases and high-performance applications, while object storage is better for files, media, and archives.

Block storage volumes are typically attached to a single virtual machine at a time for data consistency and performance. However, some configurations support shared storage for specific use cases like clustered databases. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

Block storage volumes can be formatted with any file system supported by your operating system, including ext4, xfs, NTFS, and others. You have full control over the file system and can choose the one that best fits your needs.

Block storage volumes can be backed up using snapshots, which create point-in-time copies of volumes. Snapshots can be used for backups, disaster recovery, and creating new volumes. We also support integration with backup software for comprehensive backup strategies.

Performance depends on your service plan and workload. We offer high-performance options with low latency and high throughput optimized for databases and demanding applications. Contact us to discuss your performance requirements.

Yes, block storage volumes can be resized to increase capacity. Resizing is typically done online without downtime, allowing you to grow storage as your needs increase. Some file systems may require additional steps after resizing.

Yes, block storage is ideal for databases because it provides low-latency, high-throughput access that databases require. Many database workloads benefit from block storage’s direct access to raw storage blocks and high performance characteristics.

Data migration depends on your source and target. Common methods include copying data using standard tools, using backup and restore processes, or using migration tools. Our team can assist with migration planning and execution.

Our block storage includes built-in redundancy and automatic failover to protect against hardware failures. In the event of a failure, automatic failover ensures your data remains accessible. Regular backups and snapshots provide additional protection.
