With Aire Cloud, you can deploy the right storage for virtual machines, databases, applications, backups, archiving or large volumes of data, balancing performance and cost from a single platform.
Not all workloads require the same storage. That is why Aire Cloud offers three storage models:
For virtual machines, databases and applications that require persistent storage, high performance, availability and fault tolerance.
To share files between multiple instances or applications from a centralised storage location.
For storing objects, backups, archiving, data lakes, cloud applications, IoT or big data analytics.
For frequently accessed data, with a duplicate copy of the object or bucket and buffer + cache support using NVMe drives.
For infrequently accessed data that must remain available when needed, using erasure coding to balance protection, performance and cost-effectiveness.
For block and network storage, Aire Cloud offers different performance levels to tailor the storage to each application.
Designed for high-volume data workloads that require a high number of IOPS, such as machine learning, AI, big data or databases.
High-performance storage for databases or applications with high write volumes.
The right balance between price and performance for general-purpose applications.
Standard storage for applications that do not require high IOPS performance.
HDD storage for large volumes of data requiring cost-effective solutions.
Aire Cloud includes features to help you manage your storage with greater control.
Scale up your capacity easily as your applications grow.
Perform full or incremental backups of your VMs to a cost-effective S3 repository.
Clone data instantly to scale up or replicate volumes.
Mount and unmount volumes whilst the system is running to transfer data between instances within the same location.
Take snapshots via the interface to protect your environment against system failures or incidents.
It stores objects using a ‘write-once, read-many’ model to make the data immutable and strengthen compliance policies against ransomware.
Uses block storage for workloads requiring extreme performance, guaranteed persistence and high availability in mission-critical environments.
Use network storage/NFS to share files without latency between multiple virtual machines or application clusters.
Uses S3 Object Storage to store petabytes of data, immutable backups and infrequently accessed data.
Use Flash Scale Premium to process massive volumes of data that require an uninterrupted IOPS rate.
Use Flash Plus or Flash Basic to achieve the perfect balance between sustained performance and cost optimisation.
It combines block storage, network/NFS and S3 to tailor performance, capacity, protection and cost to each environment.
Choose the right storage from the outset and avoid over-provisioning resources that your application doesn’t need.

Aire Cloud offers three models: block storage for high-performance persistent volumes, network storage/NFS for sharing files between instances, and S3 Object Storage (Basic and Cold) for objects, backups and archiving.
For virtual machines, databases and mission-critical applications that require persistent storage, high performance, availability and fault tolerance.
It utilises different levels of Flash performance (Scale Premium, Premium, Plus and Basic) and HDD archiving, allowing IOPS and costs to be tailored to the workload of each application.
Using snapshots via the interface, instant volume cloning and hot resizing, as well as backups using Cinder Backup to a cost-effective S3 repository.
These are snapshots of a volume’s state at a specific point in time, taken via the Aire Cloud interface, which enable the environment to be restored in the event of outages or incidents without interrupting the service.
For sharing files between multiple instances or applications from a centralised storage system, which is useful in CMS, collaborative and development environments.
It allows multiple virtual machines to access the same set of files simultaneously, simplifying the management of configurations and shared data.
S3 Basic is designed for frequently accessed data, with dual replication and an NVMe cache; S3 Cold is for infrequently accessed data, with erasure coding that balances protection, performance and cost.
It is a technique that fragments and distributes data containing redundant information, enabling it to be reconstructed in the event of a failure without duplicating the entire object, thereby optimising data capacity and cost-effectiveness.
Snapshots, instant cloning, on-demand resizing and hot migration of volumes between instances within the same location.
