Optimize your storage infrastructure
Adapt performance, security, and cost to each of your usages with cloud storage solutions.
- Reduce your storage infrastructure costs by 40%
"Replacing CapEx-based storage infrastructure with Storage-as-a-Service consumption models can reduce storage infrastructure costs by 40%."
Beyond the financial opportunity, this evolution is becoming a prerequisite as the number of shipped bytes grows exponentially, with a "twenty-three times growth [expected] through 2030", reshaping data centers and IT operations.
But… How?

Three steps to tap into these opportunities
Analyse your costs
Analyse your current infrastructure's costs to determine which existing storage asset is worth cutting down on.
Identify your usage(s)
Each storage product corresponds to a specific usage. If you want to build an efficient storage infrastructure, you need to clearly understand what you need and why.
Choose the right partner
There are many providers on the market who can help you build your storage infrastructure in the cloud. But they do not all offer the same support, geographical coverage, or guarantees.
There is a solution for every use case
Optimise Instances
If you need compute power to build, test and launch an application, you can launch Instances, such as PLAY2, which require a minimum of Block Storage provisioning. The advantage of this type of storage is its persistence. When you turn off or delete one of your Instances, the block volume attached to it stays on and keeps the Instance's data. Thanks to this feature the volume will quickly transfer all stored data to the next Instance you turn on, making your building, testing or launching phase quicker.

Scale big data and data lakes
Object Storage allows the storage and centralization of a vast amount of data in its native format. Thanks to its unlimited volume and high scalability, Object Storage is the go-to option to build a data lake and perform big data analysis at scale.

Scale reliable transaction processing
If your e-commerce company manages OLTP protocols (Online Transaction Processing), you need to deploy and scale your PostgreSQL databases seasonally. To do this efficiently, we recommend you use a highly available storage solution. Provisioning Block Storage volumes attached to your databases with enough IOPS guarantees data redundancy (with a triple replication on multiple nodes) and integrity.

Archive infrequently accessed data
If you work at a SaaS company, a significant part of your day-to-day tasks may include collecting ever-growing amounts of valuable data from your customers. However, not all data needs to be accessed regularly. Scaleway Glacier allows you to archive or backup data after a chosen period of time at a lower price than any other “hot storage”solution.
