Storage & Data Services on VirtEngine

Persistent capacity and managed data services, sold standalone or as components of a compute offering — metered by capacity and settled on the same rail.

The provider's backend provisions the storage. The protocol records the lease and settles measured capacity.

Example storage listings

Buyer view: compare standalone storage and capacity attached to compute.

Ordered on its own

  • Object — buckets, archive, datasets
  • Block — VM and database volumes
  • Managed data service — provider-operated

Attached to compute

  • Storage bundled in a VM or cluster plan
  • Metered alongside CPU, GPU and RAM
  • Visible as a component, not a separate order
Independent versus attached: both settle through the same capacity components.

More examples
  • Persistent Volume — cluster-attached replicated
  • Backup Repository — scheduled encrypted restore points
  • High-Throughput Storage — parallel HPC filesystem

Which storage classes a provider offers depends on its backend and Waldur configuration. Backup, archive and high-throughput tiers are provider-dependent — check the listing rather than assuming a category default.

Models

Standalone, attached, or measured

Standalone storage offering

A bucket, volume or repository ordered on its own, with its own plan and components.

Component of another offering

Storage included in a VM, cluster or platform plan and metered alongside compute.

Managed data service

A database or data service the provider operates, ordered per project like any managed platform.

Under the hood: storage settles through the same usage pipeline as compute — escrow & settlement explained — with capacity and transfer components defined by the plan.
