1 - Block Storage(BM)
1.1 - Overview
Service Overview
Block Storage is a high-performance storage that stores data in block units arranged by a fixed size and layout.
Suitable for large-scale, high-performance requirements such as databases and mail servers, and users can directly allocate volumes to the server.
Features
- Large volume provision: You can create volumes up to 16TB in size.
- Full SSD-based high performance: Provides high durability and availability based on redundant Controllers and Disk Array RAID. * Full SSD disks are provided by default, making them suitable for high-speed data processing tasks such as database workloads.
- Snapshot Backup: Image snapshot functionality enables recovery of changed and deleted data. * The user selects the snapshot created at the desired recovery point from the list and performs the recovery.
- Replication: creates an identical replica volume at another location, and the user can set the data replication schedule. * If the original volume cannot be used due to failures or disasters, service can be provided through a replica volume.
Configuration diagram
Provided features
Block Storage provides the following features.
- Volume Name: Users can set or edit the name for each volume.
- Capacity: You can create a volume with a capacity ranging from a minimum of 1 GB up to a maximum of 16 TB.
- Connection Server : You can select Bare Metal Server or Multi Node GPU Cluster to connect or disconnect.
- Multi-Server Connection (Multi Attach): Up to 5 servers can be connected, and there is no limit on the number of volumes that can be attached to a Bare Metal Server.
- Encryption: All volumes are encrypted with the AES-256 algorithm by default, regardless of disk type.
- Snapshot: Use the image snapshot feature to create a snapshot at a specific point in time or generate snapshots at regular intervals.
- Capacity: the capacity of the snapshot storage space
- Schedule: Snapshot auto-creation interval
- Recovery: Recover the original volume to the latest snapshot, or select a snapshot at a specific point in time to create a recovery volume
- Recovery copy a separate volume created with the same capacity as the original (additional cost incurred)
- Replication: It replicates the volume to another location, and the user can set the replication schedule.
- A replicated volume can also serve as the original via the snapshot feature in the event of a disaster.
- Volume Group: Configure up to 16 Block Storage volumes as a Group. * Snapshots and replication can be configured at the group level.
- Monitoring: You can view monitoring information such as IOPS, Latency, and Throughput through the ServiceWatch service.
Component
You can create a volume by entering the capacity and selecting the disk type according to the user’s service scale and performance requirements.
When using the snapshot feature, you can restore data to the desired point in time.
Volume
A volume (Volume) is the basic creation unit of the Block Storage service and is used as data storage space. The user sets the name, size, disk type, snapshots, etc., creates a volume, and then attaches it to a Bare Metal Server for use.
The volume name creation rules are as follows.
- Must start with a letter and can be set to 3~28 characters using letters, numbers, and special characters (
-).
snapshot
A snapshot (Snapshot) is an image backup of a volume at a specific point in time. The user can view the snapshot name and creation time in the snapshot list, select the snapshot to restore, and recover data that was modified or deleted using that snapshot.
The following are considerations when using snapshots.
- The snapshot creation time is based on Asia/Seoul (GMT +09:00).
- Up to 1,023 snapshots can be created. * (Automatic generation via schedule is limited to a maximum of 128.)
- Automatic creation is possible through snapshot schedule settings.
- Because snapshot capacity is added to Block Storage (BM) fees, adjust the size of your snapshot storage.
Volume Group
Volume Group is a group-level management feature that provides users who configure databases and applications across two or more volumes the ability to create snapshots and replications at a consistent point in time. The user can create a Volume Group by selecting a name and the target Block Storage.
Preceding Service
This is a list of services that must be pre-configured before creating the service. Please refer to the guide provided for each service and prepare in advance.

1.1.1 - Monitoring Metrics
According to Samsung Cloud Platform’s policy, the Cloud Monitoring service is scheduled to be discontinued.
Accordingly, Starting after the September 2026 release, monitoring of Samsung Cloud Platform resources via Cloud Monitoring will no longer be possible.
With the new alternative service, you can continuously perform resource monitoring by using ServiceWatch, released in October 2025.
ServiceWatch provides more modern and powerful features, replacing Cloud Monitoring to deliver a smooth monitoring environment.
Block Storage is planned to be integrated with ServiceWatch from after the July 2026 release.
Detailed information about ServiceWatch can be found in the ServiceWatch Overview.

2 - File Storage
2.1 - Overview
Service Overview
File Storage is a storage solution that allows servers connected via the network to easily store and share data, suitable for application environments that use multiple servers.
You can select the disk type based on performance requirements, and it will automatically scale up or down according to the user’s data volume without capacity limits.
Features
- Free volume usage: The volume size automatically expands or shrinks based on data creation and deletion without user configuration. * There is no cost for creating a volume; only usage fees for the stored data capacity are incurred.
- Various disk types provided: You can select a disk type based on the user’s intended use. * You can use HDDs that provide cost‑effective large‑capacity data storage, SSDs that offer reduced response times and high IOPS performance, and high‑performance SSDs.
- Snapshot Backup: Through the image snapshot feature, recovery of changed or deleted data is possible, and during disk backup, snapshots can be stored in a location different from the original. * The user selects the snapshot created at the desired recovery point from the list and performs the recovery.
- Replication: Creates an identical replica volume at another location, and the user can configure the data replication schedule. * If the original volume cannot be used due to failures or disasters, service can be provided through a replica volume.
- Multi-AZ: Create the same volume in a different location (AZ) within the region, so the service continues even in the event of a failure. * We need to verify availability by region.

Component
You can create a volume by selecting the disk type and protocol according to the user’s service environment and performance requirements.
When using the snapshot feature, you can restore data to the desired point in time.
Volume
A volume (Volume) is the basic creation unit of the File Storage service and is used as data storage space. The user selects a name, disk type, and protocol (CIFS/NFS) to create a volume, then connects it to one or more servers for use.
The volume name creation rules are as follows.
- It must start with a lowercase English letter and can be set to 3-21 characters using lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (
_).
Snapshot
A snapshot (Snapshot) is an image backup of a specific point in time. Using the image snapshot feature, you can recover changed or deleted data, or store snapshots in a different location from the original when performing disk backups. The user selects the snapshot created at the desired recovery point from the snapshot list and performs the recovery.
The following are considerations when using snapshots.
- The snapshot creation time is based on Asia/Seoul (GMT +09:00). Snapshots can be created up to a maximum of 800, and snapshots generated by schedule are not included. (Automatic creation via schedule is limited to a maximum of 128)
- Select the snapshot recovery button to restore the File Storage volume to the latest snapshot.
- If you select a specific snapshot from the snapshot list, you can recover by creating a new volume based on that snapshot.
- Automatic creation is possible through snapshot schedule settings.
- Since snapshot storage is included in File Storage usage and incurs charges, adjust the storage capacity by setting the snapshot retention period.

It enables searching and retrieving large-scale data, and you can leverage features such as encryption and version control. Provides public and private URLs, and the public URL can be accessed over the internet.
Features
- Using S3 API: Through a Restful API, applications can access it easily and quickly, and because it is compatible with Amazon S3, it can be used effortlessly in applications integrated with Amazon S3.
- Secure Use: Encryption (SSE‑S3), access control, and Public/Private access features are provided, making it suitable for safely storing user data or backup data for service recovery.
- Cost Efficiency: Users do not predefine the bucket capacity and are provided storage space with an efficient pricing model that charges only for the amount used.
- Replication: You can perform replication on a bucket in a different location or the same location. * You can configure multiple replication policies, and if the source bucket becomes unavailable due to a failure or disaster, you can provide service through the replica bucket.
Configuration diagram
Provided Features
Object Storage provides the following features.
- Storage Management: Provides Object Storage creation, folder creation, folder deletion, file upload, file download, and file deletion functions.

6.1 - Overview
Service Overview
Backup is a service that backs up and recovers in case of an emergency the user’s data in a safe manner.
Since a backup policy includes the backup target, frequency, retention period, etc., users set a backup plan according to their business environment and requirements.
Features
- Backup Scope: Providing optimal backup and recovery services tailored to various business purposes, ensuring customers’ important data is safely preserved.
- Flexible Policy Configuration: You can set backup policies based on the usage environment and data importance. Users select backup targets and types, and specify retention periods and schedules.
- Backup Network: We minimized potential service impact during backup by using a backup network connection. The backup system and network block unauthorized access through permission management.
- Remote backup: Agentless backup can store backup copies at a different location. If a failure or disaster occurs at the backup site, you can recover using the backup copies stored at the other location.
- Replication: Agent backup can replicate the same backup to another location for storage. The schedule and retention period are set the same as the original, and in case of a failure or disaster at the backup location, recovery can be performed using the backup copy stored at the other location.
