Overview

What Block Storage delivers

A concise product view for teams evaluating regulated production workloads.

Gewape Cloud Block Storage provides persistent volumes that can be attached to virtual machines for stateful workloads. Volumes can support application data, database files, boot disks, and operating system images.

The service helps teams separate compute lifecycle from data lifecycle, so applications can be resized, replaced, or migrated without treating storage as temporary capacity.

Persistent by design

Volumes can outlive individual compute instances and be reattached as workloads change.

Data protection options

Use encryption, snapshots, and controlled access patterns for regulated data.

Operational agility

Resize, snapshot, clone, and attach volumes without redesigning the application.

Regional placement

Keep storage in the same live Gewape Cloud country as the workloads that use it.

Features

Key capabilities

High-level capabilities for building the service into larger cloud architectures without adding operational complexity.

Boot and data volumes

Use volumes as operating system disks or additional application storage.

Snapshots and clones

Create point-in-time recovery points and copy volumes for testing or migration.

Online growth

Increase volume capacity as data grows and reduce planned downtime.

Encryption options

Protect sensitive volumes with platform-managed encryption options.

Compute integration

Attach storage to virtual machines running applications, databases, and services.

Regional governance

Align persistent storage with local residency and audit expectations.

Use cases

Where teams use it

Common production patterns for enterprises, public sector platforms, and software teams moving workloads into sovereign regions.

Databases

Provide durable storage for self-managed relational and application databases.

Business applications

Host stateful enterprise systems that need persistent file and disk storage.

Protected workloads

Apply encryption and snapshot policies for sensitive data stores.

Reusable images
