Block-level storage is an iSCSI-based storage solution provisioned in raw volumes of unformatted blocks and deployed in a SAN environment accessible over SoftLayer’s private network. Some of the most popular use cases for block-level storage include databases, virtual server deployments, and big data analytics.
SoftLayer block storage has been engineered to run on specialized, high-performance storage devices that seamlessly fuse solid-state drives—ideal for computing operations that need higher input/output operations per second (IOPS)—with flash storage—allowing near-limitless scalability while minimizing costs. Your block storage is hosted in the same data center as your SoftLayer virtual and bare metal servers and volumes can be replicated to other SoftLayer data centers over our private network.
