Overview

This new feature is designed to provide a Network Attached Storage (NAS) interface to the IBM Cloud Object Storage System™.

Note: This feature is not compatible with Concentrated Dispersal (CD).

The user is able to create multiple NAS volumes (File Systems), each with storage backed by the system. The feature exposes user-defined Network File System server (NFS version 3) exports, which you can mount and interact with as you would expect from a typical NFS server. File metadata is managed and maintained by a clustered database solution, and file data is stored in the system. The system is scalable linearly as nodes are added.
