Volumes: Business-ready Block storage
Expand the storage capacity of your ccloud³ VMs in seconds – high-performance NVMe block storage, regardless of your servers’ lifecycle.
- Connected in seconds – Attach volumes to VMs flexibly
- Can be expanded at any time without reinstallation or migration
- Independent of the VM – Data outlives new server installations
- NVMe performance for data-intensive applications
Block storage for growing workloads
Volumes separate data from the server: storage can be scaled independently of the CPU and RAM – ideal for databases, file storage and growing applications.
Flexibly scalable
Expand volumes whilst the system is running, reassign them to other VMs, or run multiple volumes per server – whatever suits your needs.
A high-performance foundation
NVMe-based block storage delivers the IOPS required by databases, search indexes and I/O-intensive applications.
Snapshot integration
Back up volume states in seconds using snapshots – as a basis for backups, clones or risk-free updates.
Stored securely
Redundant storage and encryption in certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz German data centres – GDPR-compliant.
The storage layer of your cloud architecture
Combine volumes with ccloud³ VMs for databases and application data, use snapshots for consistent backup points and S3 Object Storage for archives – this creates a storage architecture that keeps pace with every stage of growth.
- For databases and application data on the ccloud³ VM
- Snapshots as a restore point – consistent states before changes
- S3 for archives rarely used data moves to object storage
- Grows with you – every expansion step without rebuilding the architecture

How much does block storage cost at centron?
Block storage costs €0.05 per GB per month with centron – a 100 GB volume therefore costs €5.00, and a terabyte costs €50.00. The volumes run on NVMe hardware, can be expanded whilst the system is running, and can be moved between virtual machines without the need to copy data. This allows you to separate system data from user data and scale both independently of one another. Volumes have a 99.9% availability rate and are hosted in certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres in Germany.
| Size | Typical application | Price per month |
|---|---|---|
| 100 GB | small data volume | €5.00 |
| 250 GB | Database volume | €12.50 |
| 500 GB | Large capacity for growing data volumes | €25.00 |
| 1,000 GB | Archive Volume | €50.00 |
