Storage size profiles
Storage profiles for virtual machines in IOPS
When you create a virtual machine in the Netstream Cloud, you are asked to choose a storage profile. Below you can see which resources each profile includes.
IOPS is the acronym for Input/Output Operations Per Second and is the standard unit of measurement for the number of read and write operations to non-contiguous storage locations of a storage device or network.
Storage profile "low": up to 300 IOPS
Storage profile "standard": up to 2000 IOPS
Storage profile "high": up to 10'000 IOPS
Storage profile "ultra-high": up to 50'000 IOPS
