Storage
NetActuate provides globally distributed storage that you can deploy alongside your compute resources at any location. Storage is provisioned through the portal or API and is available in three models.
Storage Types
Block Storage
Network-attached block volumes that you can map and mount as local disks on your VMs. Block storage is suited for databases, application data, boot volumes, and any workload that expects a filesystem-backed disk.
- Block Device — a single volume attached to one VM
- Block Device Pool — pooled block capacity that can be allocated dynamically across workloads, commonly used with Kubernetes or multi-volume setups
Block storage is backed by Ceph RBD with replication across multiple storage nodes. A single disk or node failure does not cause data loss.
Object Storage
S3-compatible bucket storage for unstructured data such as backups, logs, media, artifacts, and datasets. You can use standard S3 clients (s3cmd, AWS CLI, any S3-compatible SDK) without retooling your pipelines.
- S3 Bucket — create a bucket with public or private access on the HTTPS endpoint
- S3 Object Store — deploy or manage the underlying object store service construct
Custom Storage
For specialized hardware, managed operations, or legacy workflows that do not fit the standard block or object models, NetActuate offers custom storage configurations. Contact your account manager to discuss requirements.
Pricing
Block and object storage are billed at $0.25 per GB stored with no ingress charges. Custom solutions are quoted individually.
Portal Navigation
Navigate to Infrastructure → Storage in the portal to view, deploy, and manage your storage resources. Each resource card shows its label, type, capacity, usage, and location.
