Product Details

What is IBM Cloud Block Storage?

Block storage, sometimes referred to as block-level storage, is a technology that is used to store data files on Storage Area Networks (SANs) or cloud-based storage environments. Block storage breaks up data into blocks and then stores those blocks as separate pieces, each with a unique identifier. The SAN places those blocks of data wherever it is most efficient. Block storage also decouples data from user environments, allowing that data to be spread across multiple environments. This creates multiple paths to the data and allows the user to retrieve it quickly.

IBM Cloud Block Storage is designed to help partners, enterprises, and organizations with their block storage needs, offering flash-backed, local disk performance with SAN persistence and durability, customizable IOPs, and predictable billing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I have used IBM Cloud Block Storage for personal use, sorting personal files including documents, pictures and videos.
Pros
  • Persistant Storage
  • Available Storage
  • Scalability
Cons
  • User interface could be more clear
  • Ocasional connectivity issue
Likelihood to Recommend
IBM Cloud Block Storage would be appropriate for persistent storage of vasts amounts of data that either are yet to be determined how to process or are part of a defined data flow that doesn't require real-time analytics. That is any data lake solution is well suited for the IBM Cloud Block Storage. For big data analytics, IBM data warehouse would be a better alternative.
