More than just data storage

Foundations for success

Block Storage offers fast, efficient, and reliable data system optimised for minimal latency and is the default for all Cloud Servers. At UpCloud, Block Storage comes in two flavours, our in-house developed, high-speed MaxIOPS and the capacity focused HDD.

Resilient, scalable and transferable

Add the exact amount of storage space you need, up to 4 TB per volume, and 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.

Storage Options

Both Block storage solutions, MaxIOPS and HDD, offer their own benefits and ideal use cases.

MaxIOPS Storage

Our signature, high-performance Block Storage has a read performance of over 100k IOPS at 4k block size, 2x higher performance compared to industry-standard thanks to enterprise-grade SSDs, and is included with our Simple plans.

HDD Storage

Reliable and cost-efficient Block Storage for the larger data capacity requirements where speed is not the priority. Keeping your data conveniently accessible directly to the file system of your Cloud Server helps retain low latency at low cost.

Software Defined Networking

Get more control, elasticity, and security for your cloud infrastructure. Utilising software-defined networking, you can create and configure new flexible private networks to shape your cloud connectivity.

SDN features focus on providing improved network performance and capabilities while decoupling the network configuration from the physical infrastructure much like cloud computing has done for traditional hosting.
