Open Telekom Cloud for Business Customers

Scalable File Service (SFS)

When working on projects, you may face the situation that you need data to be accessed by multiple servers or services. Or, when using a container engine like the Open Telekom Cloud Cloud Container Engine (CCE), a persistent storage service or data storage for multiple containers may be required.

The Scalable File Service (SFS) is the perfect fit for these demands. SFS combines the the scalability of Object Storage Service (OBS) with the performance of Elastic Volume Storage (EVS) while providing the convenience of data availability for all network participants. SFS is currently available in two different speed types with two additional sizing options each. The SSD-based file shares can conveniently be integrated via NFSv3 protocol and are optimized for IO and smaller file sizes. SFS is made available within a high-availability cluster and can optionally be protected by backups created via the Cloud Backup & Recovery (CBR) service. This service stores your backup data on the OBS, meaning that it is automatically replicated on multiple Open Telekom Cloud availability zones (AZs), protecting it against AZ outages.

SFS runs in a high availability cluster within your selected AZ. You can make use of the SFS Turbo backup functionality provided via CBR to extend your data protection. The creation of backup policies ensures that your backups are executed automatically and that they are retained in the system as long as you need them. In addition, new file system can be made based on created backups.

Encryption

Encryption

The Scalable File Service provides an encryption functionality that automatically encrypts the data on your created file systems. The encryption service is provided via the KMS using the industry standard XTS-AES-256 encryption algorithm.

Monitoring
