Premium Infrastructure

Storage Server —
Petabyte-Ready, No Egress Fees

High-capacity HDD servers with S3-compatible API, unmetered egress, 10Gbps network, ZFS RAID-Z2, and encryption at rest. Backups, archives, and CDN origin at flat monthly pricing.

Storage Server Features

Six reasons teams replace S3 and cloud object storage with dedicated storage servers.

hard_driveHuge HDD Capacity

12 TB to 96+ TB configurations. RAID-Z2 via ZFS for data integrity and checksums.

cloud_uploadS3-Compatible API

Drop-in replacement for AWS S3. Works with rclone, s3cmd, boto3, AWS CLI, and any S3 integration.

speedUnmetered Egress

No per-GB transfer fee. Serve backups, media, or CDN origin traffic without bandwidth bills.

lan10Gbps Network

10 Gbps uplink for fast ingest and retrieval. Multi-homed BGP for reliability.

lockEncryption at Rest

LUKS or ZFS native encryption. You hold the keys — we never have access to your data.

backupOff-Site Replication

ZFS send/receive replication to a second server. rclone sync to any S3-compatible target.

Storage Server Use Cases

AWS S3 charges $0.023/GB/mo storage plus $0.09/GB egress. At 50 TB stored and 20 TB/mo egress, that's $1,150 + $1,800 = $2,950/mo. A dedicated storage server with 48 TB usable, 10Gbps, and unmetered egress starts at $99/mo. For static storage workloads, the economics are not close.

hard_driveFrom $29/mo — 12 TB HDD, ZFS, S3 API, Unmetered Egress

Entry at $29/mo: 12 TB raw (8 TB usable RAID-Z1), 1Gbps, S3 API, encryption. Mid at $79/mo: 36 TB raw (24 TB RAID-Z2), 10Gbps, ZFS replication. Pro at $149/mo: 60 TB raw (40 TB RAID-Z2), 10Gbps. Enterprise at $229/mo: 96 TB raw (64 TB RAID-Z2), 10Gbps, dual-node replication. All plans: unmetered egress.

backupBackup Storage

Replace expensive cloud backup targets. Rsync, BorgBackup, Restic, or S3-compatible tools.

movieMedia Archives

Store raw video, photos, and audio at pennies per GB with unmetered delivery.

languageCDN Origin

Store static assets close to your servers. Serve to CDN without egress billing.

analyticsBig Data / Log Storage

Retain years of logs and event data for analytics. S3 API means Athena/Spark-compatible.

cloud_syncS3-Compatible Object Storage

Drop-in AWS S3 replacement for apps using S3 SDKs. No code changes required.

syncDisaster Recovery

ZFS replication to a second server in a different location for off-site DR.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a storage server?add_circle
A dedicated server optimized for high-capacity data storage rather than compute. Large HDD arrays (12–96+ TB), S3-compatible object storage API, high-bandwidth 10Gbps network, and unmetered egress. Used for backups, media archives, CDN origin, big data, and object storage workloads.
Is the S3 API compatible with existing tools?add_circle
Yes. S3-compatible API means any tool built for AWS S3 works without code changes — rclone, s3cmd, AWS CLI, boto3, Cyberduck, and S3-native integrations in databases and apps.
What does unmetered egress mean?add_circle
No per-GB outbound transfer fee. Transfer as much data as you need — backups, streaming, CDN serving — without surprise bandwidth bills.
What filesystems are supported?add_circle
ZFS (recommended for data integrity with checksums), ext4, XFS. ZFS gives you RAID-Z2 protection, snapshots, and deduplication. We can configure your preferred setup.
Is encryption at rest available?add_circle
Yes. Disk-level encryption (LUKS/ZFS native encryption). Key management is your responsibility — we don't hold decryption keys.
Can I replicate to another server for DR?add_circle
Yes. ZFS replication between two storage servers for off-site DR. rclone sync to any S3-compatible target also supported.
What RAID configurations?add_circle
Single drive, RAID-1 (mirror), RAID-Z1/Z2/Z3 (ZFS), RAID-5/6 (mdadm). Custom configurations on request. We recommend RAID-Z2 for all production storage.
Minimum contract?add_circle
Monthly billing. No minimum term. Scale storage by adding drives or upgrading to a larger chassis.
