Overview
Cloud File Storage (CFS) offers a secure and scalable solution for file-sharing and storage needs. It seamlessly integrates with servers, container services, and batch computing services. CFS delivers high-performance shared storage across multiple computing nodes, boasting scalable capacity and performance.
Benefits
Integrated Management
CFS adheres to POSIX standards and facilitates cross-platform accessibility, ensuring file and data consistency. Your Cloud Virtual Machine (CVM) instance can seamlessly access the CFS system via the standard NFS protocol.
Easy to Use
CFS offers an intuitive and user-friendly console interface. Through CFS, users can efficiently establish, customize, and oversee a file system, thereby minimizing the time and effort typically associated with deploying and upkeeping their own network-attached storage (NAS) solutions.
Shared Access
Several CVMs or container services have the capability to utilize the same CFS system. Additionally, computing nodes situated across different regions can access the same CFS via a VPC, enabling multiple nodes to collaborate on tasks and exchange files.
Flexible and Scalable
CFS storage capacity seamlessly scales without disrupting your applications or services. Moreover, CFS performance improves proportionally with storage size, ensuring dependable and high-performance service delivery.
Pay-as-you-go
CFS dynamically allocates capacity, operates on a pay-as-you-go model without the need for upfront payments. Its multi-client accessibility eliminates the necessity to procure additional storage solutions.
Secure and Reliable
CFS standard file storage operates with a triple redundancy framework, ensuring exceptional levels of availability and reliability. It enables client permission restrictions through user isolation, network segregation, and access control lists.
Features
NFS Protocols
CFS offers support for NFS v3.0/4.0 protocols and POSIX APIs, enabling users to execute NFS commands for file system operations.
Integrated Management
CFS can be efficiently managed through either the console or APIs, facilitating the convenient creation and configuration of file systems. Complex deployments or maintenance tasks are not necessary for CFS.
Easy to Use
Accessing and utilizing a file system can be accomplished through three straightforward steps:
- Initialize a file system and acquire the mount point
- Activate the NFS client on the server
- Establish a connection with the created file system by mounting it
Data Sharing
Compute nodes, such as CVM instances and containers, can utilize a common storage space through the NFS protocol, thereby eliminating the necessity for data synchronization. Various deployment options are available for accessing files across availability zones and networks, tailored to meet specific business requirements.
Elastic Capacity and Performance
CFS can dynamically scale the storage capacity of a file system according to incoming data volume. Additionally, the file system throughput will adjust automatically to meet the performance needs of your application, ensuring timely provisioning of required storage capacity and performance for uninterrupted business operations.
Permissions Management
CFS facilitates permission management via CAM, enabling the administration of CFS resource permissions through authorizations from a root account. Additionally, CFS supports network segmentation among VPCs and empowers users to establish permission groups for controlling access to file systems.
Scenarios
Corporate File Sharing
Streaming Media
Web Services and Content Management
Big Data Analysis
Within large enterprises, it’s imperative for employees to collaborate and access shared datasets seamlessly. Leveraging CFS, administrators can establish a file system and allocate access permissions to individual employees. Additionally, administrators have the capability to define permissions based on files or directories for users or groups of users.
Multimedia activities such as video editing, audio-visual production, broadcast processing, sound design, and rendering frequently depend on shared file storage solutions to manage sizable files. With its robust data consistency model, coupled with high throughput and shared data accessibility, CFS can significantly streamline the processing time required for multimedia files.
CFS is an exceptionally adaptable and resilient file system, suitable for various content management systems and as a source of data files for application services like websites, online publishing, and resource archiving.
CFS delivers the scalability and performance essential for large-scale data applications. Featuring high-throughput computing nodes, read-after-write consistency, and minimal latency, CFS is ideally designed for conducting data analysis and processing log sets.
