Performance tiers and pricing
Managed Lustre offers flexible pricing and performance tiers designed to meet the diverse needs of your workloads, whether you’re focused on capacity or highest throughput density.
Please see more details at the Managed Lustre pricing page.
Irrespective of the aggregate throughput, all tiers come with sub-millisecond read latency, high single-stream throughput, and are perfect for parallel access to many small files.
