What is File Storage?
Deploy and customize flash-backed NFS-based file storage from 25 GB to 12,000 GB capacity with up to 48,000 IOPS. Increase storage capacity or adjust your performance on the fly to quickly adjust to changes in workload demands.
File Storage features
Flexible customization
Choose predefined Endurance tiers with per-GB pricing — ideal for most workloads. Or, fine-tune your environment with allocated IOPS — ideal for workloads with well-defined performance requirements.
Smart and safe management
Stay confident with storage designed to protect against data loss during maintenance or failures with at rest data encryption, volume duplication, and snapshots and replication.
Predictable billing
Lock in your costs without the surprise of hidden fees or additional charges. Ensure lower costs with terabyte increments. For greater flexibility, choose between hourly or monthly billing for long-term or short-term storage needs.
Global footprint
Provision file storage alongside your cloud servers in IBM Cloud data centers around the world.
IOPS provisioning options
Endurance
Provision with pre-defined, per-gigabyte pricing tiers up to 48k IOPS—ideal for most workloads. Starting at 10¢ GB | 25¢/IOP.
Performance
Control both capacity and total IOPS per storage volume. Provision in granular increments up to 12TB and 48k IOPS max. Starting at 10¢ GB | 7¢/IOP.
