Block Storage at the Edge

Divide any data type into blocks stored on underlying physical storage optimized for fast access and retrieval that behave like virtual hard drives. Ideal for performance-critical applications, such as virtual machines and cloud native applications. Choose between Block Device or Block Storage Pool.

Manage Block Storage in Our Portal

Add storage to any existing infrastructure service: Bare Metal,n/ Cloud, or Colo.

Block Storage Documentation

Block storage provides OS-level volumes you can format and mount like a disk. It supports common infrastructure patterns where a workload needs a primary disk plus one or more secondary volumes. It works best when applications expect file systems, database volumes, or persistent disks.

Why NetActuate Block Storage

Add capacity without rebuilding

Expand storage when the primary disk isn’t enough—without redesigning your deployment.

Separate compute from data

Keep application data on separate volumes to simplify lifecycle management.

Built for global edge deployments

Place storage near compute and users to reduce latency and simplify distributed architectures.

Self-service provisioning and automation

Provision storage in the NetActuate portal in a few clicks or use an API and CI/CD.

How It Works

01
Select a storage model
Use disk-like volumes for applications needing a traditional volume model.
02
Attach volumes to workloads
Add a primary disk and secondary volumes for data, logs, and persistent state.
03
Provision and resize capacity
Create capacity-defined volumes and expand as needs grow.
04
Manage and automate
Manage in the portal or automate via API, CI/CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NetActuate Block storage?

Block storage divides data into fixed-size blocks and stores them as raw volumes attached to servers or virtual machines. It provides low latency and high performance for transactional and performance-sensitive applications.

When should I use block storage instead of object storage?

Block storage is best for databases, virtual machines, and transactional workloads that require consistent low latency and direct disk-level access. Object storage is better for scalable, unstructured data.

How does edge-based block storage reduce application latency?

Edge-based block storage places high-performance storage closer to compute and users, minimizing network hops and delivering faster read/write operations compared to centralized storage systems.
