Frequently Asked Questions
What is IOPS and why is it important for storage?
IOPS stands for Input/Output Operations Per Second. It measures how many read and write operations your storage can perform in one second. Higher IOPS means faster data access, which is critical for performance-intensive applications like databases and virtual machines.
How does this subscription differ from standard storage?
Standard storage often has variable performance. This subscription guarantees a specific level of IOPS per GB, ensuring consistent and predictable performance for your critical workloads, rather than relying on best-effort delivery.
Can this subscription be used for any type of data?
This subscription is ideal for data that requires consistent performance, such as databases, virtual machine disks, and frequently accessed files. For archival or less frequently accessed data, other storage tiers might be more cost-effective.
