About Container

Overview

Each container, acting as a network folder, is assigned specific access rights for users or groups. Access control can be managed locally, through Active Directory, or via LDAP. Quota and disk allocation settings help in managing caching usage per container and overall storage capacity.

Disk Caching

Disk caching is employed to speed up data transactions. This flexible caching system supports various use cases and multiple disk types. Storage can be accessed using NFS/SMB or the S3 protocol, where containers function as buckets with user authentication.

Data Accessibility

Containers serve as storage spaces, allowing users to read, write, or modify files accessible over the network through standard transport protocols:

• Network Shared Folder using SMB protocol

• NFS Target using NFS protocol

• Bucket using S3 protocol

File Virtualization

The file virtualization layer manages files and systems across diverse storage solutions, offering an abstraction between file servers and clients. Nodeum provides a logical representation of this virtualization. Users can view, retrieve, and access files even if they reside on secondary storage.
