High-performance, NVMe-based persistent block storage service with configurable capacity and IOPS per volume.

Three-way disk mirroring assures high availability for business-critical workloads. Integrate with external storage over our high-performance network.

Scale up volume size on demand

Promote snapshots into images

Support mixed workloads

On-demand snapshots

Instantaneous, point-in-time virtual disk snapshots to use for recovery and off-rack backup.

Powered by OpenZFS

The storage service builds on both metal-to-oxide built multi-node failover, buttressed by OpenZFS's 20 year track record.

Proactive data protection

All data is checksummed and continuously validated for data integrity in the face of drive or sled removal.

The right storage for your project

Distributed Block Storage

Attach volumes, take snapshots, and keep data safe without application-level replication.

  • Redundancy across sleds for resiliency
  • Traditional databases (Postgres, MySQL)
  • Boot volumes and stateful applications

Sled-Local NVMe Storage

Ultra-low latency NVMe storage with high bandwidth for storage-intensive workloads that don't require disk-level data replication.

  • No replication overhead
  • Object stores and data platforms (MinIO, Spark)
  • Caching and content delivery workloads
