LANSING – Liquid Web, a rapidly expanding managed hosting company with hubs in Michigan and Arizona, just announced updates to its recently introduced block storage product, Storm HPBS.
HPBS stands for ?High Performance Block Storage,? and consists of isolated storage volumes, ranging from 150GB to 15TB in size, that can be attached and detached from servers. This update boldly distinguishes Liquid Web?s block storage infrastructure from others in the Web Hosting industry by providing the ability to cross mount and cross attach these storage instances as well as the power to scale from 150GB up to 15TB in a matter of seconds.
?I?m encouraged and excited to see our block storage capabilities expanding so quickly,? said Liquid Web Founder and CEO Matthew Hill. ?Storm HPBS has already gained a number of high profile and wholly satisfied users that will find that these increased capabilities put it in an echelon that includes few peers.?
The ability to read and write data to the same data store from multiple servers opens the door to more dynamic performance for users that regularly utilize clustered file systems or load balanced websites, he said. In addition, the newfound capacity for instant growth up to 15TB — when teamed with the ability to easily create and destroy new storage volumes — is ideal for any user whose project requires high availability and rapid flexibility.
