Increasing ScalarCloud Local NVMe SSD RAID Storage Capacity

Published on September 20, 2023 in Cloud

StorageHello everyone, to meet the demand for space, which has accelerated in recent months, we will soon increase the NVMe SSD storage capacity of our ScalarCloud platform.
 
These capacity increases will be carried out in stages, one node at a time. No service interruption is expected.
 
We will follow the same process used for hypervisor updates.
 
Your machines will be live-migrated and distributed across other standby nodes for the duration of the operation, then returned to their original location.
 
We will then perform load balancing through redistribution: some virtual machines will keep their virtual NVMe storage on the first volume, while others will be moved live to the second volume.
 
These operations will begin on October 3 and aim to double our current RAID 10 storage capacity by adding a new array, taking us from 24 TB of NVMe storage per node to 48 TB.
 
We do not yet know when these operations will be completed, as the hardware upgrades require coordination with OVHcloud, one node at a time. We will let you know once the work is complete.
 
Have an excellent rest of your weekend.
