Workspace Pro storage options
Choose the storage profile that fits your workload
Workspace Pro can be configured with different storage profiles.
The standard configuration uses fast local SSD/NVMe-backed storage for the best day-to-day performance.
For larger datasets, S3-backed storage provides significantly more scalable capacity without turning the
workspace into a bulk-storage platform.
Performance Storage
€15 / TB / month
Fast local SSD/NVMe-backed storage for actively used files, documents and collaboration workloads.
- Lowest storage latency
- Best suited to active day-to-day workloads
- Files remain on Ensembia-managed local storage
- Workspace application, database and storage remain closely coupled
Large Object Storage
€35 / TB / month
Scalable S3-backed storage for customers that need multiple terabytes of working capacity.
- S3-compatible production storage
- Nextcloud database, cache and application services remain on fast local storage
- Independent off-site backup included
- Backup includes files, database and configuration as one consistent recovery set
- Suitable for large document, media and project repositories
Resilient Large Storage
€45 / TB / month
Multi-zone S3-backed production storage for workloads that require additional infrastructure resilience.
- Multi-zone S3-compatible production storage
- Nextcloud database, cache and application services remain on fast local storage
- Independent off-site backup included
- Backup includes files, database and configuration as one consistent recovery set
- Additional protection against the loss of an individual production availability zone
Why is backup included with S3 storage?
With S3-backed Workspace storage, the actual file content is stored outside the Workspace virtual machine. A virtual-machine backup alone therefore does not contain the complete workspace.
Ensembia's backup integration creates a coordinated backup of the file data, Nextcloud database and configuration. This keeps the application state and stored files together as a consistent recovery point. For that reason, independent off-site backup is included with all S3-backed Workspace Pro storage.
Optional immutable ransomware protection
S3 backup storage can optionally use immutable retention. During the selected protection period, protected backup objects cannot be changed or deleted, providing an additional recovery layer against ransomware, malicious deletion and compromised administrator credentials.
Available immutable retention periods: 7, 14, 21, 30, 60 or 90 days. Retention capacity is prepaid according to the selected protection window because immutable data cannot be removed before that period expires.
Large Object Storage and Resilient Large Storage are available with Workspace Pro.
