Get local disk performance with SAN persistence and durability. Increase storage capacity available to your IBM Cloud Virtual Servers and Bare Metal Servers with a maximum of 48k IOPs. Deploy flash-backed block storage volumes from 20GB to 12TB–and customize it all with a variety of capabilities.

Choose Endurance tiers for simple, predefined, per-GB pricing—ideal for workloads without well defined performance requirements.
Or, build a fine-tuned environment with allocated IOPS with Performance options—ideal for well-understood workload requirements that fall outside of the available Endurance tiers.

Customize your storage capacity and number of IOPs based on your workload demands, then increase capacity and adjust IOPS on the fly without having to provision new storage.

Avoid data loss during maintenance or failures without creating system-level RAID arrays.

Create point in time copies of your data with our Snapshot feature, or copy data to another data center for Disaster Recovery readiness.

Protect your data with provider managed encryption at rest at no additional charge.

Quickly and easily create a new volume with a clone of your data from a snapshot.

Establish redundant multipath I/O (MPIO) connections to guarantee availability during planned or unplanned events.

Block volumes provisioned alongside of your cloud servers on data centers around the world.

Block storage provisioned with 2 IOPS/GB or higher is flash-backed for faster performance.

Choose to pay for your storage on either an hourly or monthly basis.
