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.

The most responsive Cloud platform with great stability and flexible features and even its data protection through Cloud service is incredible. IBM Cloud Block Storage helps on effective management of various Cloud data storage platforms and the data processing functions are excellent and great access control capability and the real time data reporting ability is nice.

We rely on this platform to store our data and manage all information that takes place across our teams. It provides high-performing servers that interlink our organization network with our cloud servers. The product provides us with customizable storage disks that can store different volumes of workloads according to the required demands. I am able to set up passwords on my data under the disks to ensure no unauthorized access.

IBM Cloud Block Storage is a diverse space platform, with extensive procedures that oversee the security of every content. Besides, IBM Cloud Block Storage has both the minimal and the maximum space, for optimal services to the users. For instance, IBM Cloud Block Storage has a lower space of 25GB and an extra of up to 12000GB. Again, there is the competent analytical solution, that determines the operational capacity of a company, and the direction that the firm takes.

We use IBM Cloud Block Storage alongside our IBM Cloud implementations as the storage medium for static files on the cloud. It is used to serve static assets such as images and asset bundles for applications. In some cases it is used to serve static websites running only JavaScript, CSS and HTML (e.g. React and Angular applications). Being able to have cheap static storage on the IBM Cloud enables our organization to store objects effectively and provide granular access.

IBM Cloud Block Storage is being used by a department to store the telemetry data from many devices. Since the telemetry data is produced at a fast pace, it requires good performance and high IOPS for the storage. IBM Cloud Block Storage offers the capability to customize IOPS on the fly, that makes it a good choice.

We use block storage throughout our infrastructure to reliably ensure data sharing between the various nodes of our cluster as well as the containers that run within it. That allows us to dynamically scale services that will share common data with the security that they will have of the data they need in real time. In our experience using the service, even with auto snapshots we have not had the need to make use of that since our downtime has been almost equal to 0% (moreover, I do not remember if there was ever a problem and for us that is critical)

IBM Cloud Block Storage is used as the block storage for all Kubernetes and Openshift clusters used across the company and for customer projects.
It solves the problem of having a trusted Storage as a service, easily integrated with other assets and services deployed on IBM Cloud, and used to solve various business problems and challenges.

We use IBM Cloud Block Storage to back our entire VMware Infrastructure. This supports our entire global footprint, and the whole organization. It enables us to flexibly grow without any CapEx, and without worrying about firmware updates, failed disks, or any of the typical problems associated with managing your own storage.

It is used as a repository for our encrypted backup of all business critical information stored within IBM Cloud. It allows for easy growth and has a pricing scale to match our requirements. It was (and needed to be) easy to deploy and link to.
