Storage Services

This section describes Elastic Volume Service (EVS), Scalable File Service (SFS), Object Storage Service (OBS), and others alike to help you better understand storage services.

EVS

The EVS service offers scalable block storage for cloud servers. With high reliability, high performance, and rich specifications, EVS disks can be used for distributed file systems, development and test environments, data warehouse applications, and high-performance computing (HPC) scenarios to meet diverse service requirements.

For details, see Elastic Volume Service Product Introduction.

VBS

VBS backs up EVS disks and uses the backups to restore original EVS disks, ensuring user data accuracy and security.
