What Are the Differences Between SFS, OBS, and EVS?
Table 1 shows the comparison between SFS, OBS, and EVS.
Dimension |
SFS |
OBS |
EVS |
---|---|---|---|
Concept |
SFS provides on-demand high-performance file storage, which can be shared by multiple ECSs. SFS is similar to a remote directory for Windows or Linux OSs. |
OBS provides massive, secure, reliable, and cost-effective data storage for users to store data of any type and size. |
EVS provides scalable block storage that features high reliability and high performance to meet various service requirements. An EVS disk is similar to a hard disk on a PC. |
Data storage logic |
Stores files. Data is sorted and displayed in files and folders. |
Stores objects. Files can be stored directly to OBS. The files automatically generate corresponding system metadata. You can also customize the metadata if needed. |
Stores binary data and cannot directly store files. To store files, you need to format the file system first. |
Access method |
SFS file systems can be accessed only after being mounted to ECSs or BMSs through NFS or CIFS. A network address must be specified or mapped to a local directory for access. |
OBS buckets can be accessed through the Internet or Direct Connect. The bucket address must be specified for access, and transmission protocols HTTP and HTTPS are used. |
EVS disks can be used and accessed from applications only after being attached to ECSs or BMSs and initialized. |
Application Scenario |
Gene sequencing, image rendering, media processing, file sharing, content management, and web services |
Big data analysis, static website hosting, online video on demand (VoD), gene sequencing, and intelligent video surveillance |
Industrial design, energy exploration, critical clustered applications, enterprise application systems, and development and testing |
