The Storage Management system allows you to create and manage persistent storage volumes for your virtual machines.

​
Prerequisites

Required Before Creating Volumes

  • Complete Profile: Your profile must be complete with billing information (address, postal code, country)
  • Minimum Balance: Account must have sufficient credits:
    • USD: Minimum $1.00
    • EUR: Minimum €1.00
    • INR: Minimum ₹100.00

To check your profile completion status:

  1. Navigate to Account Settings
  2. Verify all required fields are completed
  3. Ensure billing address is fully filled out

​
Volume Types

The platform supports different volume types for various use cases:

Standard Volumes

General-purpose storage for data and applications

Specifications:

  • Minimum size: 10GB
  • Maximum size: 1,048,576GB (1TB)
  • Performance: Optimized for GPU workloads
  • Persistence: Data persists across VM lifecycles
  • Attachment: Can be attached to any VM in the same region
  • Use cases: Application data, databases, file storage

Bootable Volumes

Volumes containing an operating system that can boot a VM

Specifications:

  • Minimum size: 100GB
  • Maximum size: 1,048,576GB (1TB)
  • Initialization: Must have a valid OS image
  • Usage: Can be used to deploy new VMs
  • Benefits: Preserves installed software and configurations
  • Use cases: Custom OS setups, pre-configured environments

​
Volume Storage Pricing

Volume Storage: $0.1 per TB per hour (€0.1 per TB per hour | ₹10 per TB per hour)

Billing is calculated hourly based on provisioned storage capacity.

​
Volume Dashboard Statistics

The Volumes page displays key statistics for your storage in the selected region:

  • Total Volumes: Number of volumes in the selected region
  • Total Storage: Combined storage allocated across all volumes (in GB)
  • Attached Volumes: Number of volumes currently attached to VMs
  • Bootable Volumes: Number of volumes that can be used to boot VMs

​
Pagination and Display

Volume management includes efficient pagination:

  • 6 volumes displayed per page
  • Previous/Next navigation with page numbers
  • Pagination controls appear when more than 6 volumes exist
  • Grid layout adjusts for desktop (3 columns) and mobile (1 column)

​
