Features and Benefits

Features

• SSD Storage: Supports swift data retrieval and reliable data storage.

• Storage Size: The minimum cluster size is 2 TiB and the maximum cluster size is 42 TiB. It is a usable space; hence, you do not have to reserve free space for optimal performance.

• NFSv4.2: The latest NFS protocol version, NFSv4.2, allows standard read and write operations directly to storage.

• Encryption at rest: Provides encryption at rest, by default.

• Root squash security: Network File Storage's built-in security mechanism reduces the risk of unauthorized root-level access from the client machine to the NFS server. Enabling this feature prevents superuser privileges to the root user on a client machine. It also prevents potential attacks on the NFS server when the client machine is compromised.

Benefits

• High Performance & Reliability: NFSv4.2 protocol provides high availability and durability and the following benefits:

  • Reduced protocol overhead with compound operations and caching.

  • Efficient file operations with minimal server interaction.

  • Live data movement without interruption.

  • Detailed file-level access and performance telemetry.

• Seamless Management: Benefit from proactive IT infrastructure management and maintenance with IONOS’s managed Network File Storage.

• Efficient Data Sharing: Easily distribute and manage data across multiple VMs within a VDC, with centralized data organization and fine-grained POSIX access control.
