Get total control over your file shares function and performance with flash-backed File Storage. Create file shares with your desired capacity—from 20GB to 12TB—and provision those file shares with a variety of flexible and power-based options while minimizing costs. Take advantage of snapshots and replication when provisioning with Endurance tiers— featuring simple, predefined, performance levels with simple per GB pricing ideal for most general purpose workloads. Or, build a fine-tuned environment with allocated IOPS from Performance options—ideal for businesses with well understood performance requirements.
File storage is an NFS-based storage solution provisioned in formatted file shares on a networked storage device and deployed in NAS environment. File-level storage is easy to use and is readily compatible with most popular operating systems. As the name suggests, file-level storage is designed to support the storing and retrieving of massive amounts of files.
Quantic Dynamics file storage shares provide enterprise-grade data performance and durability, standard. The service is built on an industry-leading storage architecture that seamlessly fuses solid-state drives—ideal for computing operations that need higher input/output operations per second (IOPS)—with flash storage—allowing near-limitless scalability while minimizing costs. Your file storage is hosted in the same data center as your virtual and bare metal servers and shares can be replicated to other Quantic Dynamics data centers over our private network.
Add file storage to your cloud environment in any of our 7 data centers today by ordering shares to meet your needs. Choose between Endurance and Performance options.
Endurance Tiers
Support a wide selection of application needs, including snapshots and replication, and encryption – all at your desired level with simple, pre-defined per-GB pricing tiers up to 48,000 IOPS. Endurance tiers are ideal for businesses with moderately defined performance needs and open-ended IOP quantity independences.
