Frequently Asked Questions
Lancom Cloud Storage is a secure, scalable and highly available storage service for business data and applications. It supports object, block and file storage and can be used for backups, databases, virtual machines, archives and demanding enterprise workloads.
The service is delivered through Lancom’s data center ecosystem, which includes Balkan Gate Thessaloniki, its Tier III, carrier-neutral data center in Northern Greece.
Object storage is ideal for archives, backups, media files, application logs and large volumes of unstructured data. It is highly scalable and well suited to cloud-native applications and API-based access.
Block storage provides low-latency, consistent performance for virtual machines, databases and other demanding workloads. File storage uses a familiar folder-based structure, making it suitable for shared business documents, departmental storage and applications that rely on traditional file-system access.
The appropriate option depends on how the data will be accessed, the required performance and latency, and the expected growth of the workload.
Yes, storage capacity can be expanded or adjusted as business requirements evolve, without the need to purchase, install or maintain additional on-premises hardware. This allows organizations to respond more easily to data growth, seasonal demand, new applications or changing workload requirements.
Flexible storage tiers also make it possible to match performance and cost to each use case. Critical applications can be allocated higher-performance resources, while archives, backups and less frequently accessed data can be stored on more cost-efficient capacity. This helps businesses avoid overprovisioning while maintaining the performance and availability each workload requires.
Data are encrypted both in transit and at rest, helping protect sensitive information from unauthorized access while it is being transferred and while it remains stored within the platform. Redundant data distribution adds another layer of resilience by reducing dependence on individual hardware components and supporting continued access to data in the event of equipment failure. Granular access controls also allow organizations to define precisely which users, teams and applications can access specific storage resources, helping enforce internal security policies and reduce unnecessary exposure.
Lancom’s infrastructure presence in Athens and Thessaloniki, including Balkan Gate, strengthens the overall resilience and geographic diversity of its cloud ecosystem. Through strategically located facilities in Greece, organizations can combine secure storage with reliable connectivity, low-latency access and infrastructure designed to support business continuity. This approach is particularly valuable for enterprises that need their data to remain available, protected and accessible across critical operations.
Lancom Cloud Storage can support a broad range of enterprise use cases, including backup repositories, databases, virtual machines, business applications, analytics datasets, media libraries and performance-intensive workloads. This flexibility allows organizations to use the same cloud ecosystem for both day-to-day operations and more demanding applications that require reliable access to large volumes of data.
Object, block and file storage options enable each environment to be configured according to its specific capacity, latency, throughput and availability requirements. Performance-sensitive databases and virtual machines can be supported with low-latency storage, while backups, archives and large unstructured datasets can use scalable capacity designed for long-term growth. This allows organizations to align storage performance and cost with the actual needs of each workload.
Yes. Lancom Cloud Storage can be combined with Lancom Cloud Servers, Cloud Backup and enterprise connectivity services to create a unified cloud environment for business-critical workloads.
This integrated approach allows organizations to host applications, store and protect data, and connect users, offices and systems through a single provider. It also simplifies infrastructure management, monitoring and support, while making it easier to scale resources as operational requirements evolve.
