Externalized file storage for VMs


Externalized file storage for virtualized applications

Today, cloud-native applications take advantage of containerization and virtualization solutions. Both approaches have many advantages, such as providing scalability, reducing overhead costs, standardising software deployments and reducing time to market.

With these new technologies, infrastructure is becoming increasingly 'storage-centric'. OVHcloud's file storage portfolio responds to these needs by allowing businesses to store their data securely, effortlessly, and with higher availability.

High-availability

Our file storage system is backed up by a HA pair mode and has optimal resilience with a 99.99% SLA guarantee. The HA pair offers two storage arrays, with interconnected controllers. In this configuration, one node can take over its partner's storage to provide continued data service if one partner goes down.

Tailored storage volumes

Our file storage offers provide various configurations from 1TB up to 58TB regardless of your choice of datacentre.

Virtualization

netapp_3-3

In most datacentres a virtual infrastructure supports the majority of business-critical applications and workloads.

The most common virtualization technology choices are VMware, Promox, or KVM.

You can build your own virtualization platform on top of our dedicated servers, such as our Advance or Scale ranges, with externalized file storage to manage your virtual machines' data. This is achieved by using the NFS file-storage protocol, which is an ideal choice for your most VM-based environments.
