Of the three most common types of data storage solutions (block, file, and object), only block storage meets the requirements for high performance and low latency.
Block storage divides storage space into independent blocks of fixed size and allows applications to interact directly with storage hardware, offering the highest level of performance, with the lowest latency. Unlike file storage or object storage (which ultimately relies on block storage), it does not include an additional software layer to pass through before accessing the data. Examples of block storage devices are disks that are attached directly to a server or through an NVME, Fiber Channel, or iSCSI SAN.
Block storage offers both high performance and low latency for applications requiring rapid access to critical data.
The self-contained nature of the blocks reduces failure rates. If one block is corrupted, the failure does not propagate to all of the data. Additionally, our block storage solutions offer replication and backup options to enable high availability and fault tolerance.
Block storage is compatible with many operating systems and applications, making integration quick and easy.
Block storage allows you to precisely allocate the space needed for each application, providing easier management for businesses with changing needs.
Our block storage solutions provide built-in AI capabilities, encryption, and access control features to protect sensitive data and quickly respond to cyberthreats and data breaches.
These advantages make R2i the partner of choice for companies seeking to optimize their storage and secure their data.
