Pricing example: Self-hosted PostgreSQL cluster on EKS
1x Primary, 2x Hot-Standby (or Read-Replica)
50TB logical volume per node with a minimum of 64,000 IOPS (total capacity 150TB in logical volumes)
With simplyblock's multi-attach, effectively you are only required to provision 50TB of storage from AWS, out of which 25TB will be on NVMe disks attached to EC2 instances (i3en.6xlarge) and 25TB will be in S3 (we assume that 50% of the storage demand is "cold" and can be transparently tiered into cheaper storage tiers, i.e. S3)

| Core Features | |||
Copy-on-write volumesCopy-on-write (COW) is an optimization technique used in computer programming and data management |
|
|
|
NVMe/TCP volumesHigh-performance storage devices that use the NVMe over standard TCP/IP networks |
|
|
|
Data DistributionData distribution is the process of spreading data across multiple storage nodes to improve performance, reliability, and scalability of a storage system |
|
|
|
Storage OvercommitmentStorage overcommitment is allocating more virtual storage capacity to users than is physically available, relying on typical underutilization of provisioned resources |
|
|
|
Thin ProvisioningThin provisioning allows creating logical volumes larger than available physical storage, allocating actual space only when data is written |
|
|
|
Instant SnapshotsInstant snapshots are point-in-time copies of data created instantly without duplicating the entire dataset, using copy-on-write technology |
|
|
|
Local ClonesLocal clones are instant, space-efficient copies of volumes that share data with the original until modifications occur, enabled by copy-on-write technology |
|
|
|
Remote ClonesRemote clones are copy-on-write replicas of data volumes created and stored in a different location from the original source |
|
|
|
DeduplicationDeduplication is a data compression technique that eliminates duplicate copies of repeating data to improve storage efficiency and reduce costs |
|
|
|
CompressionCompression is a technique that reduces data size by encoding information more efficiently, saving storage space and potentially improving transfer speeds |
|
|
|
EncryptionEncryption prevents unauthorized access to data, enabling individual encryption keys per volume |
|
|
|
Cluster ReplicationCluster replication is the synchronization of data across multiple storage nodes to ensure high availability and fault tolerance |
|
|
|
Online ResizingOnline resizing allows storage volumes to be expanded or shrunk without disrupting service, while simplyblock remains operational and accessible |
|
|
|
Zero Downtime ScalabilityZero downtime scalability allows simplyblock to expand capacity or performance without interrupting service, ensuring continuous availability during growth or increased demand |
|
|
|
High AvailabilityHigh availability is a system design approach that ensures simplyblock remains operational and accessible with minimal downtime or interruptions |
|
|
|
Disaster RecoveryDisaster recovery is a set of strategies and tools to quickly restore IT systems and data after a catastrophic event or major failure |
|
|
|
QoS PolicyQoS policy defines rules to manage volume traffic priorities, IOPS, and throughput, ensuring critical data flows receive necessary resources while limiting less important traffic |
|
|
|
Management UIThe management UI is a graphical interface for administrators to monitor, configure, and control simplyblock's storage resources and operations |
|
|
|
Provisioned CapacityProvisioned capacity is the total storage space allocated to volumes in the storage cluster, regardless of how much is actually being used |
< 5TB | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Multi AttachMulti-attach allows a single storage volume to be connected to multiple compute instances simultaneously, improving availability and resource utilization |

Frequently Asked Questions
-Thin provisioning: Only pay for the storage you actually use, not what you provision.
-Storage tiering: Automatically move infrequently accessed data to cheaper storage tiers like Amazon S3.
-Pooling of EBS volumes: Consolidate partially used volumes into a shared pool, increasing utilization.
-Compression: Reduce the amount of physical storage needed.
-Deduplication: Eliminate redundant data across volumes.
-Multi-attach capability: Use a single volume for high-availability setups instead of replicating data.
By leveraging these capabilities, many customers see cost reductions of 75% or more compared to their previous Amazon EBS spend.
