Why BulkVault

Deep, cheap, and racked for you

Recertified enterprise hardware at clearance economics: redundant, and attached to the server you already run.

576 TB raw per shelf

A 60-bay WD Ultrastar Data60 packed with 48 × He12 12TB enterprise drives, for ~460 TB usable on ZFS RAIDZ2.

Dual PSU, redundant power

Every shelf ships with fully redundant, hot-swap power supplies. A PSU failure never takes your storage offline.

Expands the server you already run

External SAS HBA to your existing FDC box. No new server, no new login, no new vendor — the shelf becomes block storage.

24-month drive SLA

Next-business-day drive replacement from our on-site spare pool, for two full years from allocation.

European footprint

Deploy across Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, Prague, Vienna, Warsaw, Madrid, Lisbon and Dublin.

Monthly terms, no lock-in

Clearance pricing on a month-to-month basis. No throttling, no surprises. Cancel when you're done.

Built for

Your deep, cheap tier

Optimized for capacity and sequential throughput. For latency-sensitive primary databases or boot volumes, pair with your existing NVMe. BulkVault sits underneath as bulk storage.

Backup & DR targets

Veeam, Proxmox, restic and borg repositories with room to spare.

Object-storage bulk tier

Back MinIO, Ceph and S3-compatible stores with raw petabytes.

Media, surveillance & VMS archive

Long-retention footage and rendered media that never fits on NVMe.

Log retention & cold data

Years of logs and compliance archives at a fraction of hot-tier cost.

Bulk seed & dataset staging

Stage large datasets and seed corpora close to your compute.

Tier beneath your NVMe

Keep hot data on flash; let BulkVault hold everything else, cheaply.
