How Do I Purchase SFS?

SFS uses pay-per-use billing by default, which means that you are billed by the storage capacity you select during purchase and the duration of use. You can also purchase a yearly or monthly package based on how much space you require and for how long you will use the resources. In case of arrears, you need to renew the service within 15 days, or data in your file systems will be cleared.

The size of a resource package is irrelevant to the compute throughput of the file system.
