Why choose Cloud Disk Array?
Scalability
With Cloud Disk Array, you can smoothly and effortlessly expand your storage infrastructure.
High availability
Each block of a Cloud Disk Array is triple replicated across various fault domains, so your data is always available.
Data consistency
Transparent data consistency check is performed weekly on each replica for users.
Dedicated block storage
Get a cluster of NVMe SSD dedicated disks with this service.
Multiple access protocols
When using Ceph technology, you can choose from several interfaces for your storage service — RADOS Block Device (RBD), CephFS, or RADOS.
Interoperability with OVHcloud ecosystem
Cloud Disk Array is compatible with Bare Metal dedicated servers, Hosted Private Cloud and Public Cloud instances.
Cloud Disk Array powered by Ceph
Cloud Disk Array is based on Ceph, a distributed block storage that is widely used on the market. Ceph offers high performance, by-design redundancy, and easy hot-plugging.
The storage service can be used, with Ceph, in several access modes to match specific workloads. This includes block storage with RBD, file storage with CephFS, and object storage with RADOS.
A redundant, high-availability architecture
Ceph powers Cloud Disk Array, which provides a distributed, redundant architecture with no single point of failure (SPOF). On top of that, each block is triple replicated in three fault domains for maximum availability. Data is then replicated on three servers in three different racks within the same datacentre, so it is always accessible.
Use cases
