Distributed block storage

High-performance, NVMe-based persistent block storage service with configurable capacity and IOPS per volume. Redundancy assures high availability for business-critical workloads.

Integrate with external storage over our high-performance egress/ingress network.

Scale up volume size on demand

Promote snapshots into images used as VM templates

Support mixed workloads

Resilient and reliable storage with built-in snapshot management

On-demand snapshots

Oxide offers users instantaneous, point-in-time virtual disk snapshots to use for recovery and off-rack backup.

Snapshots are committed immediately then streamed to newly allocated regions. This provides consistent snapshots with easy-to-understand storage accounting.

Powered by OpenZFS

The storage service uses OpenZFS for all data storage. This marries Oxide’s distributed data storage and multi-node failure resiliency with the dependability and efficiency OpenZFS has earned in its 20 years of running demanding workloads.

Proactive data protection

The Oxide control plane monitors performance metrics as another early signal of component failure. As sleds and SSDs are rotated in and out, the Oxide control plane migrates storage regions to ensure the appropriate redundancy.

OpenZFS checksums and scrubs all data for early failure detection. Virtual disks constantly validate the integrity of your data, correcting failures as soon as they are discovered.

Hardware and software co-design

Data encrypted both at rest and in transit, with data keys protected by a hardware root-of-trust.

Checksumming to ensure data integrity and anticipate device failure.

Automated rebalancing of data to preserve redundancy in the face of drive or sled removal.
