Cloud Storage
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides customers with high-performance computing and low-cost cloud storage options. Through on-demand local, object, file, block, and archive storage, Oracle Cloud addresses key storage workload requirements and use cases. Customers can use the storage gateway and data transfer service to safely and securely move their data to the cloud.
Transparent and consistent global pricing lets customers forecast cloud storage spend easily, without requiring pricing formulas to predict their cloud spend.

Oracle’s modern take on storage makes the cloud more flexible and affordable than ever.
Why customers choose Oracle Cloud Storage
Fast, scalable, and durable cloud storage
Oracle Cloud Storage delivers consistent high performance and scalability. Customers get Block Volumes that scale up to 1 PB, File Storage that can scale up to 8 EB, and local NVMe scales to 2TB. Also, Oracle Object Storage and Archive Storage are backed by an availability service-level agreement (SLA), offering highly reliable data storage.
Explore Cloud Storage OptionsAdvanced block storage
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Block Volume delivers consistent, low-latency performance of up to 300,000 IOPS and 2,680 MB/s of throughput per volume. For performance-intensive applications, OCI Block Volume offers up to 700K IOPS and 9,600 MB/s of throughput2 per host. OCI Block Volume costs approximately 70%4 less for 1TB volume than AWS gp3 at 16,000 IOPS3.
Explore Oracle Block VolumesSecurity-first architecture
Reduce storage risks with Oracle Cloud's security-first design architecture that utilizes built-in tenant isolation, least privilege access, and data encryption at rest. All storage services are integrated into Oracle Identity and Access Management to centrally manage access and permissions.
Explore Oracle Cloud securityLower pricing and lower costs
Oracle Cloud Block Storage is 57% less expensive than the competition, and it delivers performance that meets or exceeds their offerings. Oracle’s straightforward Cloud Storage pricing has no provisioning charges, complex pricing formulas, or pricing variances based on geography.4

File storage that automatically scales
Oracle File Storage provides a fully managed Network File System (NFS) that scales automatically to accommodate growth up to 8 exabytes, eliminating the need to provision capacity in advance. Multiway replication ensures data availability and durability.
Features
- Snapshot and clone capabilities
- Automatic elasticity without provisioning
- Scalable from kilobytes to 8 exabytes
- Automatic elastic scaling without provisioning
- Highly available, durable filesystems
- Encryption at rest by default using AES 256
- Encryption in transit supported by TLS 1.2
- Support for managing your own encryption keys
Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) for virtual machines and bare metal
Local NVMe SSD storage provides extremely low latency and high performance flash-based storage, which is ideal for workloads that benefit from high-throughput local storage. Oracle Cloud provides up to 51.2 TB of capacity per instance and 5.5M IOPS at low 10 to 100 microsecond latency.
Features
- Available on DenseIO virtual machines and bare metal
- Up to 52 TB of capacity
- 5.5 million IOPS
- Complete customer control
Long-term, low-cost data storage
Archive Storage provides reliable and durable long-term data at one-tenth the cost of Oracle Object Storage, while using the same APIs for easy setup and integration. Data is monitored for integrity, automatically healed, and encrypted at rest.
Features
- Easy to use and integrate
- Highly reliable and durable
- No cost for inbound data transfer
- Encryption at rest by default using AES 256
- Automatic monitoring for data integrity
High-volume data migration
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Data Transfer Appliance allows customers to securely move large volumes of data into Oracle Cloud in days, rather than weeks or months, at no charge.
Features
- Use console UI, CLI, SDK, or third-party tools
- Flexibility to use your own disks—HDD and SSD
- Up to 150TB per appliance
- Integrated monitoring
- No cost for inbound data transfer
- Data encrypted at load time using AES 256 encryption
- Integrity enforced by checksums
- Upload summaries confirm data integrity
- Encrypted networks used in Oracle Cloud
Extend on-premises storage to Oracle Cloud
Storage Gateway lets customers augment and extend on-premises data by bridging their local file systems with Object Storage in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and is available at no charge.
Features
- Easily extend local storage to Oracle Cloud
- Simple to use and free of charge
- Scales to 100 million files per file system
- Fully encrypted
