Block, object, file, and archive storage each have a right job and a wrong price. We design the storage layer so performance matches the workload and you stop paying for tiers you do not need.
Storage is where OCI estates quietly leak money. Over provisioned block volumes, object data sitting in standard tier long after anyone reads it, and snapshots that never expire all add up. We map every workload to the storage class it actually needs, set lifecycle rules that move cold data down automatically, and tune performance so databases and applications get the throughput they were promised.
The result is a storage layer that is faster where it matters, cheaper where it does not, and documented so your team can keep it that way.
Right sized boot and data volumes with the correct performance tier, attached and backed up to policy.
Standard, Infrequent Access, and Archive tiers with lifecycle rules that move data down as it cools.
OCI File Storage for shared workloads, sized and secured for the applications that depend on it.
Volume and database backups with retention that meets your recovery and compliance needs, no more.
Throughput and IOPS matched to database and application demand, verified under real load.
Tags, budgets, and reporting so storage spend stays visible and stays in line.
OCI storage classes trade cost against access speed. Picking the wrong one is the single most common storage mistake we correct.
| Storage class | Best for | Trade off |
|---|---|---|
| Block volume | Databases, boot volumes, low latency apps | Highest cost per gigabyte, performance tiers matter |
| Object standard | Active data, frequent reads | Priced for access, wasteful for cold data |
| Object infrequent access | Backups, data read a few times a year | Lower storage cost, retrieval fee applies |
| Archive | Compliance copies, long term retention | Cheapest storage, hours to restore |
| File storage | Shared file systems across instances | Convenient, watch concurrent throughput cost |
Backups and replication that turn storage into a recovery plan.
