File Storage NAS is a file storage service for Zain Cloud ECS instances and Container Service, offering standard file access protocols to create a distributed file system with unlimited capacity and performance scaling.
NAS provides scalable file systems, allowing you to add or delete file systems to adjust storage capacity.
Enable shared access to the same data source in a file system from multiple compute nodes, ensuring data consistency with file locks.
NAS supports standard protocols like NFS (NFSv3.0 and NFSv4.0) and SMB (SMB 2.1 and SMB 3.0), compatible with mainstream operating systems such as Linux and Windows.
With Resource Access Management (RAM) authentication, NAS provides VPC-based isolation and security group-based access control to ensure data security.
NAS ensures data encryption during transmission, preventing interception or sniffing of user data.
Access file systems from various networks, including VPCs, on-premises IDCs, and dedicated networks.
Supports synchronous or asynchronous data transmission between NAS file systems or between NAS and Object Storage Service (OSS) using Data Transmission Service (DTS).Data Backup Generates multiple replicas based on flexible backup policies to restore corrupted data.
Generates multiple replicas based on flexible backup policies to restore corrupted data.
-
Cost-effectiveness
Pay only for the storage space you consume without the need to configure storage in advance.
-
Ease of use
Create a file system in a few clicks without deploying and maintaining the file system.
-
Security
Access control based on Resource Access Management (RAM) and access isolation based on virtual private clouds (VPCs), supports encryption in transit and at rest.
-
High Reliability
Provides multiple replicas for each data entry stored in a file system, residing in isolated devices across different fault domains for geo-redundancy.
-
High performance
Offers a distributed file system with performance scaling linearly with capacity and higher storage performance.
-
Compatibility
Supports standard protocols like Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB), ensuring data consistency and file locking based on POSIX APIs.
What is NAS File System in Zain Cloud?
NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a fully managed, scalable, and high-performance file storage service designed for applications that need shared access to files in a cloud environment.
How do I access data in the NAS File System?
You can access data in the NAS File System by mounting it on your ECS instances using the NFS protocol for Linux instances and the SMB protocol for Windows instances.
Can I scale my NAS File System?
Yes, NAS File System allows you to dynamically increase your storage capacity without disrupting access to your files.
Is the NAS File System secure for storing sensitive data?
Yes, the NAS File System offers robust security features, including data encryption, access control, and audit logging, ensuring that your sensitive data is protected and compliant with industry standards. You can configure access permissions to control who can access or modify the stored data.
