Block Storage

Storage for Large Data Processing and DB Workload

Block Storage stores data in fixed-size blocks of pre-determined arrays and assigns directly to servers. This highly available storage service is suitable for application environments that require high capacity data, such as database and email servers. High performance storage is available depending on the required level of performance. Backup policy with redundancy and failure recovery system enable reliable service without any data losses.

Overview

  • Large Volume Storage

    The basic OS space provides 100 GB of volume. Virtual Server can be created or expanded online up to 168TB, and Bare Metal Server can scale in large capacities without volume limitations.

  • Full SSD-based High Performance IOPS

    Block Storage includes redundant controller and disk array RAID to ensure high durability and availability. For mission-critical application workload that requires short response time and high IOPS, optimized high-performance SSD-type storage is also provided.

  • Snapshot-based Backup

    Block storage offers image snapshot for OS and data area of VM. Recovery to a particular time using previously-created snapshots is possible in case of change or deletion of data.

  • DR Replication of Critical Data

    DR replication replicates the original Block Storage(BM) to another region of Samsung Cloud Platform. This allows the DR storage to provide data in situations where the original storage becomes unavailable such as a system failure or a natural disaster. (Additional network charges for data replication)
