Accelerated Block Storage (ABS)
High-performance block storage with sustained IOPS for real-time workloads.
What is ABS?
Shared, persistent storage decoupled from compute.
Sustained IOPS for I/O-intensive workloads.
Elastic scale with zero downtime. No hardware changes or re-provisioning required.
Part of Nirvana performance cloud stack: Compute + Storage + Networking.
Performance Specification
Designed for data heavy, I/O-intensive real-time workloads.
20,000 Baseline IOPS
600,000 Burst IOPS
Latency: Sub-ms
Throughput: 1.6 GB/s writes, 260–380 MB/s sustained, ~600 MB/s reads
Volume Size: 36 GB to 4 Petabyte
P99 Latency Guarantees
Product Highlights
High IOPS, Low Latency
Sustained Performance
No throttling after 2–3 hours like traditional cloud. Stay fast as long as your workload stays hot.
High Availability
Data is never tied to a specific server. If a node fails, workloads migrate instantly without rebuild or data loss.
Elastic Scale
Scale from 32 GB to 4 PB with zero downtime. No hardware changes or re-provisioning required.
Low Latency
P99 latency guarantees and durability, without fluctuation during usage spikes.
Colocation with Compute
Tightest physical data path (never shared) with Nirvana bare-metal compute for ultra-low latency.
Predictable Pricing
Flat, TB-based pricing (~$94/TB/Month) with IOPS performance included. No burst credits, no metering.
Use Cases
