Two storage sources
NWS Volume works with two storage sources. In both cases, storage is accessed through Namirasoft.
Namirasoft Managed Storage
Storage provided and operated by Namirasoft.
Used directly in NWS Volume.
Fully managed, with nothing for you to run or maintain.
Billing
Billed for the storage capacity you hold.
Connected External Storage
Storage from services you already use.
Connected to NWS Volume so you can manage everything in one place.
Your existing storage provider remains unchanged.
Billing
Billed for data read & written through Namirasoft.

Pricing FAQs
Find details about how pricing works in Namirasoft NWS Volume.
1. How is managed storage measured and billed?
Managed storage is billed per TB, per month. Fixed Size is billed on the capacity you reserve. Flexible Size and Namirasoft S3 are billed on the storage you actually use during the month.
2. Why do Fixed, Flexible, and Namirasoft S3 cost different amounts?
Each storage type is built for a different use case. Fixed Size and Flexible Size are managed volume storage for applications and systems that need persistent, directly usable capacity. Namirasoft S3 is object storage for files, backups, and archives, which is priced lower than volume storage.
3. For connected external storage, do I also pay my provider?
Yes. Your storage provider bills you directly for the storage itself. The only thing you pay Namirasoft for external storage is a usage fee on the data you read and write.
4. Why is there a fee for connecting external storage?
Connecting external storage brings it into the same console, workspaces, and access controls as your Namirasoft storage, with credentials kept in Namirasoft Secret. The fee applies to the data you read and write through that connection.
5. How is the external usage fee measured?
It applies to the data you read and write through the connection during the month. Storage you connect but do not access is not charged by Namirasoft.
6. Is there a minimum or a setup fee?
No. There is no minimum and no setup fee. You pay only for what you use, billed monthly.
7. Can I mix managed and external storage on one account?
Yes. You can use Namirasoft managed storage and connected external storage together in the same workspace, managed from one console.
8. Can I cancel anytime, and what happens to my data?
Yes, you can cancel anytime. Your external connections simply stop being managed here, and your own storage stays with your provider. For managed storage, you can export or remove your data before you close the volume.
