Offshore Storage Servers

Store and access huge volumes of data securely with high-capacity offshore storage servers — multi-terabyte arrays, AES-256 encryption, snapshots and worldwide remote access.

What is an offshore storage server?

An offshore storage server is a dedicated server purpose-built for one job: keeping a large amount of data safe, accessible and out of reach of nosy intermediaries. Server Trafficweb provisions storage servers in the Netherlands and Ukraine with multi-terabyte SATA arrays for capacity, NVMe or SSD tiers for hot data, and the network throughput to push that data wherever your applications need it. Whether you store backups, media archives, scientific datasets, business records or compliance retention copies, our servers give you room to grow into the hundreds of TB — or even petabyte-scale clusters — without the privacy compromises that come with mainstream cloud storage providers.

Storage workloads are quietly demanding. They mix big sequential reads (backup restores, media transcoding, archive replays) with bursts of random I/O (database checkpoints, deduplication, search indexing). Our storage servers are configured so neither pattern starves the other: multiple disks balance throughput, fast NVMe or SSD caches absorb random writes, and hardened hardware-RAID or ZFS configurations protect against drive failure. Hot-swap drive bays keep the array online during repairs. Pair that with strong AES-256 encryption — both at rest and in transit — and your data stays exactly as private as you need it to be.

Real-world use cases prove the value. Offsite backups use storage servers as the durable destination for nightly encrypted snapshots, paired with our Backup Solutions. Media archives live on capacity-friendly storage tied to VOD servers and streaming servers for cost-effective long-tail catalogue. Big data and analytics teams store training datasets, log archives and warehouse-cold data with the throughput needed for batch processing. Compliance retention meets long-term record-keeping requirements (GDPR, SOX, industry-specific) with timestamped, immutable storage and versioned snapshots. Disaster recovery uses cross-region replication between our Netherlands and Ukraine facilities for geographic separation.

With every storage server we also provide a complete operational layer. 100 Gbps DDoS protection covers the network port. Tier-1 uplinks make sure your storage server is also a fast endpoint — rsync from anywhere in Europe at gigabit speeds, serve large files to viewers worldwide via a paired CDN, or stream backups out for DR in minutes. Pair with Backup Solutions for automated snapshots, monitoring for capacity and health trends, firewall and security for access hardening, and Storage & Backups for additional capacity. The combination is offshore storage that works the way operations teams actually need.

Why choose us

Key Benefits

Multi-terabyte capacity

Large SATA arrays for archives plus NVMe or SSD tiers for hot data. Storage scales from tens of TB on a single server into the petabyte range with multi-server clusters.

AES-256 encryption everywhere

AES-256 at rest and TLS in transit. Combine with bring-your-own-key management for end-to-end protection that satisfies the strictest compliance regimes.

RAID-protected reliability

Hardware-RAID or ZFS configurations protect against drive failures. Hot-swap drive bays keep the array online during repairs — no service interruption for routine maintenance.

Fast remote access

Gigabit and 10-gigabit uplinks let you transfer huge datasets quickly via SFTP, rsync, S3-compatible APIs, NFS, SMB, WebDAV — whatever protocol fits your workflow.

Snapshots and versioning

Capture point-in-time states of your storage so you can roll back from ransomware, accidental deletes, bad deploys or corruption in minutes rather than days.

Offshore privacy by design

Hosted in privacy-friendly jurisdictions (Netherlands, Ukraine) where your data is protected from frivolous third-party demands and arbitrary subpoenas.

Cross-region replication

Replicate snapshots between Netherlands and Ukraine for geographic disaster recovery. A regional incident cannot destroy both source and replica.

Any protocol you choose

Full root access means you enable exactly the protocols your application needs — and combine them. No managed-only black-box restrictions.

Use cases

Built for real workloads

Offsite encrypted backups

Store nightly encrypted snapshots offsite for disaster recovery and long-term retention. Pair with our Backup Solutions for full automation.

Media archives for VOD/streaming

Keep VOD libraries, raw footage and source files on capacity-friendly storage tied to your origin servers — cheaper than NVMe for long-tail content.

Big data and analytics

Store training datasets, log archives and warehouse-cold data with the throughput needed for batch processing pipelines, ML training and analytics.

Compliance retention

Meet GDPR, SOX or industry-specific long-term record-keeping with timestamped, immutable storage and versioned snapshots that survive audit scrutiny.

Disaster recovery target

Use a storage server in the other location as the DR copy — replicate snapshots between Netherlands and Ukraine for genuine geographic separation.

How it works

Simple. Predictable. Powerful.

1

Size the capacity

Estimate current and projected data volume, retention requirements and access patterns. Our team designs the storage tier mix (NVMe hot + SATA cold) to fit.

2

Configure access

Pick the protocols — SFTP, rsync, S3, NFS, SMB, WebDAV — and configure authentication, IP whitelisting and AES-256 encryption defaults.

3

Migrate the data

Our team helps plan and execute migration: network rsync over Tier-1 links, encrypted physical drive shipping for very large initial transfers, or staged uploads.

4

Attach operational add-ons

Enable backups, monitoring and firewall for a complete operational picture.

5

Operate confidently

Monitor capacity, schedule snapshots and add disks as data grows — all without rebuilding the array or migrating off the server.

FAQ'S

Frequently asked questions

Detailed answers to the questions our customers ask most often about this service.

How big can a storage server get?
Single-server configurations reach into the hundreds of TB, and we build multi-server clusters for petabyte-scale needs. Tell us your target and we design the right layout — SATA bulk, NVMe hot, ZFS or hardware RAID.
Is data encrypted by default?
Encryption is configurable: many customers run AES-256 at rest with their own keys plus TLS in transit. We advise on key management depending on your compliance posture (managed keys or BYOK).
Which protocols do you support?
With full root access you enable any protocol — SFTP, rsync, S3-compatible APIs, NFS, SMB, WebDAV, FTPS — and combine them as your workflow needs.
Can I use it just for backups?
Yes. Many customers use our storage servers as the offsite tier of their backup strategy, paired with our Backup Solutions add-on for full automation, integrity checks and test restores.
What about disaster recovery?
Snapshots, versioning and RAID protect against most failures. For full DR, replicate snapshots between our Netherlands and Ukraine locations via Server Location Choices for genuine geographic separation.
Can a storage server pair with my existing servers?
Absolutely — and it usually does. Most customers connect storage servers to their dedicated, VOD or application servers via the internal network for archive tiers, backups and shared catalogues.
