Interspace Cloud implemented a major upgrade to the block storage infrastructure, delivering enhanced performance and increased reliability for mission-critical servers.

You can now add volumes of block storage with large capacity, with some plans supporting up to 64 TB (65536 GB) per virtual server. The upgrade includes different tiers of NVMe SSD storage, allowing you to balance performance and cost based on your specific requirements. We have introduced the term "Attached Disks" to distinguish these volumes from Primary Disks, which are permanently tied to your server and host the operating system.Block Storage for Additional SpaceThe disk space of a virtual server can be increased by adding block storage volumes. In Interspace Cloud, these volumes are called "Attached Disks". They can be dynamically added, expanded or removed as your needs change, unlike Primary Disks which are permanently tied to your server.

There are flexible backup options for Attached Disks, allowing you to control the redundancy level (Site or Geo Redundancy) and choose whether to include or exclude these disks from each automatic backup schedule, snapshot or VPS Image. Among other benefits, this helps you reduce backup costs. For example, you can create more frequent backups for system disks and less frequent backups for large attached disks.

Despite their flexibility, Attached Disks are treated as persistent disks in the virtual server's operating system and can be retained and used for the entire server lifecycle, just like the primary disk where the operating system runs. Advantages of our Infrastructure for Block StorageInterspace Cloud infrastructure for block storage ensures maximum data protection and availability with these advanced features:

• Extreme availability through 8 independent controller systems per cluster that manage disk operations, ensuring that your disks will remain fully operational even if only one controller remains active.
• Data transfer using the leading Fibre Channel technology, with multiple communication channels per server for maximum performance and redundancy.
• Triple data protection with 3 identical copies of your data stored on separate hardware systems in different zones of the datacenter.
• Professional grade storage technology designed for critical operations that does not rely on open source solutions.
