What Is SFS Turbo?

Overview

Scalable File Service Turbo (SFS Turbo) provides scalable, high-performance (NAS) file storage. With SFS Turbo, you can enjoy shared file access spanning multiple Elastic Cloud Server (ECSs), Bare Metal Servers (BMSs), and containers created on Cloud Container Engine (CCE), as shown in Figure 1.

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

    Cloud servers in multiple availability zones (AZs) of the same region can access the same file system concurrently and share files.

  • Elastic scaling

    The file system storage can be scaled up on demand to dynamically adapt to service changes without interrupting applications. You can complete resizing with a few clicks.

  • Superior performance and reliability

    File system performance increases as capacity grows, and file systems deliver a high data durability to support rapid service growth.

    The background system supports both HDD and SSD storage media. It adopts a distributed architecture and uses full redundant design for modules, which eliminate single-node faults.

  • Seamless integration

    SFS Turbo supports Network File System (NFS), through which a broad range of applications can read data from and write data into file systems.

  • Easy operation and low costs

    On an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), you can create and manage file systems with ease. SFS Turbo slashes the cost as it is billed on a pay-per-use basis.

Accessing SFS Turbo

You can access SFS Turbo on the console or through HTTPS-based API calls.

  • APIs

    Use APIs if you need to integrate SFS Turbo into a third-party system for secondary development. For detailed operations, see "Scalable File Service Turbo API Reference".

  • Console

    Use the console if you prefer a web-based UI to perform operations.
