What Is EVS?
Overview
Elastic Volume Service (EVS) offers scalable block storage for cloud servers. With high reliability, high performance, and a variety of specifications, EVS disks can be used for distributed file systems, development and test environments, data warehouses, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. Cloud servers that EVS supports include Elastic Cloud Servers (ECSs) and BMS.
EVS disks are similar to hard disks in PCs. They must be attached to servers for use and cannot be used alone. You can initialize EVS disks, create file systems on them, and store data persistently on them.
EVS disks are sometimes just referred to as disks in this document.

Various disk types |
EVS provides a variety of disk types for you to choose from, and EVS disks can be used as data disks and system disks for servers. You can select an appropriate disk type that best suits your budget and service requirements. |
|
Elastic scalability |
The EVS disk capacity ranges from 10 GiB to 32 TiB. When it no longer meets your needs, you can expand the disk capacity up to 32 TiB in increments of 1 GiB, without interrupting your applications. |
|
Besides the disk capacity limit, the additional space you can add cannot exceed the remaining quota. You can increase the quota if the remaining quota is insufficient. |
||
High security and reliability |
Data redundancy functions, such as backups and snapshots, safeguard the disk data, preventing incorrect data caused by application exceptions or attacks. |
|
Real-time monitoring |
On Cloud Eye, you can monitor the disk health and operating status at any time. |
