Block storage advantages in Serverspace

Scalable

With our advanced technology, managing your storage capacity is a breeze, even after creating a volume. You can effortlessly increase its size to meet your needs. Our volumes range in size from 10 GB to 1 TB, and each virtual machine (VM) can mount up to four additional volumes, providing ample space for your data storage requirements.

Elastic

Fault-tolerant

We understand the importance of data replication in storage volumes. That's why we exceed industry standards in this area, providing you with a rapid data recovery system. Additionally, our data availability rate stands at an impressive 99.9%, ensuring that your volumes remain secure and protected against failures.

Stable

Straightforward

Managing your cloud storage volumes has never been simpler thanks to our automated operations system. Tasks such as creating, mounting, and deleting volumes are handled effortlessly, saving you time and reducing the need for manual control and deployment costs. With our streamlined approach, you can focus on what really matters – your data.

Simple

Use cases

Scaling
Storage volumes increase

By utilizing block storage, you can easily expand the disk capacity of virtual servers whenever needed, without altering the CPU and RAM. This results in substantial savings on server expenses.

Serverspace services
Database hosting

Running relational and NoSQL databases in block storage benefits from having high read-write speeds and low latency. As your databases expand, scaling volumes to match your requirements is a simple task.

Resilient Fast
Application deployment

Exchange, SharePoint, Oracle, and SAP are examples of applications that allow direct data writing into blocks, making them fully compatible with block storage. This enhances their performance speed by eliminating the need for multiple data writing.

Enterprise-level performance

Experience exceptional I/O performance under various workloads.

Some of our clients reviews

“We rent a public Serverspace infrastructure and use advanced network settings. Amsterdam data center. When signing up, I liked that I didn't need to add my card, like the same Linode. The basic SSD drive is very fast. FIO random write shows more than 282k IOPS. Minimal pings. The virtual machine is running stable. We wish they add a payment method for business since we are currently paying by card.”
“I am very happy with everything. I use a cloud server and object storage. The server easily withstands demand loads of even 10K unique users and 50K number of clicks per day. SSDs are really fast, the processor is fair. We have never run into performance limitations. The best price/quality ratio.”

FAQ

Tutorials

What is Block storage?

Block storage is a type of data storage architecture where data is stored in fixed-sized blocks.

Each block is assigned a unique identifier and can be directly accessed by the operating system or application, enabling fast and efficient read and write operations.

How to manage block storage?

You can manage block storage using the Serverspace control panel or API. In the server settings in the control panel, you can add and delete volumes (up to 4 additional volumes can be created).

The Serverspace API allows you to perform any actions, including creating, mounting, disconnecting, and obtaining information about a volume.

What is the difference between block storage and object storage?

In block storage, files are partitioned and placed in fixed-sized blocks. Each block has a location identifier, which is used to organize access through the SAN storage network.

Object storage stores unstructured data. Files here do not use a hierarchy and are stored as objects, each with its own identifier. In this case you can directly access the data.

Are storage fees charged when the server is shut down?

Yes, when the server is turned off, the dedicated SSD storage is still reserved for you. Therefore, you will continue to be charged until you remove the resources.

Can I change the size of block storage?

Yes, you can can increase the storage size up to 1 TB any time you need.
