What it is Storage close to compute.
Storage close to compute.
On Australian hardware.
Direct-attached NVMe for low-latency block volumes. Replicated 3-way, sovereign by default.
Built on enterprise hardware
NVMe close to compute.
Ceph-backed block storage on Dell hardware with NVMe direct-attached volumes for low-latency workloads.
Why Amaze block
Predictable performance. Replicated by default.
NVMe local, 3-way replication. Use it for databases, working sets, scratch space.
3-way replicated
Triple redundancy across failure domains.
Resize without downtime
Grow capacity on the fly. No reboot, no detach/reattach.
Tier 3+ AU
Equinix and NEXTDC, dual-power.
Enterprise grade network performance

Availability SLA
Financially backed, measured monthly.
1 ms
Tail latency
NVMe local, sustained.
3 x
Replication
Triple redundancy across failure domains.

Block storage, sized to the workload.
Five things Amaze block storage does differently from a hyperscaler volume in Sydney.
Local NVMe
Direct-attached NVMe for low-latency pods and VMs. Up to 60TB per node.
3-way replicated
Every write replicated 3 times across failure domains. Triple redundancy by default.
Resize without downtime
Block volume capacity can be grown on the fly. No reboot, no detach/reattach.
Snapshots and clones
Atomic snapshots, fast clones, integrated with backup and DR.
Cross-region replication
Replicate volumes between Sydney and Melbourne for DR. No inter-region egress charges.
How to start
Attach block storage in four steps.
All self-service. No tickets, no offshore approvals, no time-zone tax.
01
Create the volume
Via console or Terraform.
02
Pick performance tier
Standard, performance, or NVMe local.
03
Attach to compute
VM, bare metal, or Kubernetes pod via CSI driver.
04
Replicate or snapshot
Cross-region replication and atomic snapshots included.
Need long-term archive?
Use Object Storage too.
Move cold data to S3-compatible Object Storage on the same Australian backbone. No transfer fees between block and object tiers.
Australian infrastructure built with leading global technology
Block Storage, frequently asked questions
What's the difference between block and object storage?
Block storage attaches to a single host as a raw or filesystem-formatted disk for low-latency workloads (databases, working sets). Object storage is S3-compatible and addressed by URL for unstructured data (backups, media, AI datasets).
Can I resize a volume without downtime?
Yes. Capacity grows on the fly. Reducing requires a snapshot+restore.
Is local NVMe persistent?
Yes, replicated, with the same durability guarantees as standard tier. Local NVMe trades off cross-zone replication for lower tail latency.
How is it priced?
AUD per GB-month plus IOPS tier. No egress between Amaze regions.
Sovereign block storage, AUD-billed.
