TL;DR There are now 3 ways to run infrastructure: * Hyperscalers (AWS/GCP/Azure) → easy to start, but performance is inconsistent and gets expensive as you scale * Bare metal → best performance, but you have to build and manage everything yourself * Modern cloud (e.g. Nirvana) → combines both: fast, consistent performance

And why Nirvana rebuilt the full cloud stack TL;DR Latency doesn’t come from one place — it stacks across your entire system: Application → Compute → Storage → Network → Datacenter Most cloud setups add hidden delays at each layer (virtualization, network hops, IOPS limits, distance), which compound into real performance issues. What

Compare your cloud spending across Compute, Storage, Networking on AWS vs Nirvana We’re excited to introduce the Nirvana Price Calculator. Cloud pricing today can be confusing. Between instance families, storage tiers, IOPS limits, networking charges, and different product configurations, it’s often difficult to understand what you are actually

February was Infra IRL. We stepped out from dashboards and into rooftops, warehouses, and builder nights, bringing performance-first cloud into real conversations with real operators. Here’s what moved. 🇭🇰 Consensus Hong Kong — RWA Night We co-hosted the RWAfi: RAW Skyline Mixer with Pharos and partners during Consensus week. It’s

Bare Metal vs Nirvana Labs Performance and Tradeoff Comparison
January was a heads-down, shipping month. We launched Accelerated Block Storage (ABS), opened up our Silicon Valley data center, shipped product upgrade, Here’s what moved: ABS is Live ABS is our crypto-tuned block storage built for always-hot blockchain data. * 20K baseline IOPS (sustained) * up to 600K burst * sub-ms latency
Save up to 90%+ on io2 with ABS If you’ve built on traditional cloud block storage long enough, this will feel familiar: Pricing looks reasonable at first glance. Then you realise storage isn’t just storage - it’s IOPS, latency, and throughput, all priced separately. That’s when
Storage, compute, and nodes together Nirvana’s Silicon Valley data center (us-sva-2) is the first facility where we operate storage, dedicated compute, and nodes together in the same Tier III data center. This deployment brings Nirvana-owned storage racks, dedicated compute infrastructure, and bare-metal nodes into one physical environment. By keeping
The Backbone of the Always-Hot Cloud In the world of cloud infra, there is a "holy trinity" that defines every system: * Compute: Where instructions execute (the brain). * Storage: Where the data lives (the memory). * Network: How data moves between them. In the early days of computing, these three
Why always-on blockchain workloads break traditional storage — and how ABS was built to stay fast under continuous load. When we started designing Accelerated Block Storage (ABS), we didn’t begin with hardware specs or benchmark targets. We started with what users were experiencing in production. Teams running nodes, indexers, and
