Block Storage

The Amaze Block Storage (ABS) delivers redundant, high-performance storage volumes designed for use within the Amaze Cloud Platform for Cloud Servers or Virtual Data Center infrastructure.

Versatile Performance Tiers

 

Our block storage volumes are available in various performance tiers, catering to a wide range of workloads, from intensive database operations to general application and development needs.

Key Features

Highly Available – Volume data is stored on redundant hardware, separate from your cloud compute instances. This data is backed up and geographically replicated, significantly reducing the risk of data loss in the event of hardware failure.

Flexible and Scalable – Easily move your storage volumes between cloud server instances or resize them as your storage requirements evolve.

High Performance – We offer multiple storage classes to meet any application requirement, including high performance (speed & IOPS intensive), general purpose, local SSD/RAID, and backup storage volumes. All ABS storage services are backed by all-Flash (SSD) technology for high availability and performance.

Backups

A robust backup strategy enhances the integrity and availability of your business data. The Amaze Cloud Platform supports both manual and automatic (scheduled) server backups, which can be configured as full or incremental. By default, backups are stored on Tier-3 storage volumes and are billed based on the storage used, which varies according to compression levels and the size of full or incremental backups.

Additionally, backups of virtual machines can be converted into Templates, allowing you to deploy custom, pre-configured cloud server instances whenever needed.
