Reference Guide – Virtuozzo / Jelastic Storage Standard Performance

🔍 General Characteristics of a Standard Performance Storage​

AspectTypical Description
Device typeEnterprise-level SSDs or NVMe drives.
LatencySuitable for normal workloads (web applications, medium-sized databases), but higher than a High Performance tier.
IOPS / ThroughputModerate level: ensures consistent operations for medium loads, but with slightly higher latencies than the High Performance tier.
CostMore economical than the high-performance tier, balancing price and capacity.

💾 Usage Recommendation​

Standard Performance is ideal for workloads that do not require maximum IOPS, such as:

  • Data backup and restore;
  • Storage of logs and temporary files;
  • Web applications that do not read and write intensively;
  • Development and testing environments.
tip

Despite the name “Standard,” this type of storage is still based on high-performance technologies (SSDs/NVMe with optimizations).
In other words, it remains faster than traditional mechanical disk solutions (HDD), just with more conservative limits than High Performance.

⚙️ Best Practices for Validation​

  1. Perform Benchmarks

    • Use tools like fio to measure latency, IOPS, and throughput on Standard tier volumes.

  2. Check Cluster Configuration

    • Evaluate replication, number of nodes, use GlusterFS for high durability and availability.

  3. Monitor Metrics in Production

    • Latency, IO queues, disk utilization, and CPU overhead for storage operations.
  • Record the storage cluster topology.
  • Note measured values of IOPS, latency, and throughput during tests.
  • Describe replication and backup policies.
  • Define monitoring and alert procedures.
  • Periodically update with benchmark results and any SLA changes.
