This document provides an overview of File Storage in cloud computing, explaining its benefits, use cases, and considerations for provisioning. It covers the network connection, security, and IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) considerations when using File Storage. Understanding these concepts is essential for optimizing performance and cost-efficiency in cloud environments.

Introduction to File Storage

File Storage is a cloud storage solution:

It connects to a compute node for data access and storage.
It is usually more cost-effective (less expensive) than direct attached storage.
It offers better resilience to failure.
It requires less disk management and maintenance.
File Storage can be provisioned in larger capacities.
It can be presented to a server as a disk.

Storage Appliances and Security

File Storage is mounted from remote storage appliances, which are specialized hardware devices containing the physical disks. These appliances are highly resilient to failure and offer enhanced data security through services like encryption in transit. The service provider manages these appliances, ensuring their reliability and security.
