New capabilities

Release 3.4.0 introduced a new backend storage methodology called Packed Slice Storage (PSS). Packed Slice Storage works in conjunction with File Slice Storage; it stores metadata data source slices efficiently while other data source slices continue to be managed by File Slice Storage.

  • PSS is shared storage for all vaults deployed on a given Slicestor® Node.
  • PSS greatly improves performance in the storage and retrieval of small objects.
