Product Description Network Volumes for Dedicated Servers
A network volume for dedicated servers is a scalable external network block storage with triple data replication. Triple replication of disk volumes provides high data integrity. Suitable for rapid scaling of server disk space.
Network volumes can be connected to dedicated servers in pools:
- MSK-1 — via SAN and the private network;
- MSK-2 — over the private network only.
Dedicated servers are available to connect to network volumes:
- custom and off-the-shelf configuration with a port for the local network. You can view information about server ports in the control panel: in the top menu, click Products → Dedicated Servers → Servers → server page → tab Ports;
- ready configuration with the tag You can connect network volumes;
- custom configuration with an additional 2 × 10 GE NIC + 10 Gbps network volume SAN connection.
How it works
A network volume can be connected to one or more dedicated servers. Connection is performed via the iSCSI protocol.
All servers and network volumes are combined into a single group when they are connected in the Control Panel — see the Connect a network volume to a server subsection of the Connecting a network volume to a server instructions. A network volume can only be connected to the entire group at once — it will be available to all servers in the group.

Types of network volumes
Servercore provides two types of network volumes:
- Basic HDD is an HDD based on enterprise-class SATA drives. Suitable for storing large volumes of data that do not need to be read or overwritten frequently;
- Fast SSD is an NVMe SSD with fast response and high performance. Suitable for operations that require high read and write speeds.
Disk types differ in minimum and maximum capacity limits, throughput values, and the number of read and write operations. See the network volume limits table for details.
