Block Storage, reliability and performance
for all your archiving needs

  • Unlimited scalability for Cloud Servers or Kubernetes clusters
  • Maximum reliability in the Aruba Cloud digital ecosystem
  • Top performance, thanks to SDD NVMe disks
  • Simplifies data protection with Snapshots of volumes

Create block storage volumes for your Aruba Cloud infrastructure

Block Storage allows the creation of highly scalable and flexible block storage volumes that can be resized and moved at any time and connected to Aruba Managed Kubernetes or Aruba Cloud Server services. Our block storage solution is reliable and ensures high performance, thanks to the use of NVMe SSD disks and Ceph storage technology. The solution is available in two modes: with Availability Zone, you can store your volumes in triple replication within a single Availability Zone of your choice; with Regional, you can build high-availability infrastructures by replicating synchronous copies of volumes in three different Availability Zones within a single Region.
