SFS

Overview

Scalable File Service (SFS) provides scalable, high-performance file storage. With SFS, you can enjoy shared file access spanning multiple Elastic Cloud Servers (ECSs), Bare Metal Servers (BMSs). See Figure 1.

Figure 1 Accessing SFS

Compared with traditional file sharing storage, SFS has the following advantages:

File sharing
ECSs in multiple availability zones (AZs) of a same region can access the same file system concurrently and share files.
Elastic scaling
Storage can be scaled up or down on demand to dynamically adapt to service changes without interrupting applications. You can complete resizing with a few clicks.
Superior performance and reliability
The service enables file system performance to increase as capacity grows, and delivers a high data durability to support rapid service growth.
Seamless integration
SFS supports Network File System (NFS). With this standard protocol, a broad range of mainstream applications can read and write data in the file system.
Easy operation
In an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), you can create and manage file systems with ease.
