Highly secure and resilient
IBM Cloud File Storage for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) provides secure, persistent, cloud NFSv4.1 file storage. This data storage allows you to create zonal file shares for IBM Cloud Virtual Servers on Virtual Private Cloud. Get total control and help minimize costs with flash-backed architecture. Create file shares from 10 to 32,000 GB, and provision it with a variety of flexible options to quickly adjust to changes in workload demands.
Benefits
Provision shares from 10 GB up to 32,000 GB, scale existing capacity, and adjust IOPS up or down — all tailored to your workload.
Safeguard your data with encryption-at-rest, encryption-in-transit, and enterprise-grade access controls.
Count on data that’s built to last with enterprise-grade resilience.
Access your data anytime with industry-leading uptime and worldwide availability.

Features
Easily tailor your file storage to match your workload. Adjust capacity and performance as needed, and scale up on the fly, without the hassle of creating new file shares.
Keep your data safe even during maintenance or unexpected failures, no need to set up complex RAID systems.
Access your file shares wherever your business runs, with storage available in data centers across the globe.
Keep your data secure with built-in encryption at no extra cost. For added control, use your own keys or IBM’s key management services for enterprise-grade protection.
Protect your data while it moves between servers and storage with secure, encrypted connections. Encryption in transit ensures end-to-end security for all your file transfers.
Stay connected to your data with built-in redundancy that keeps file shares available, even if part of the system goes down. Multiple network paths and high-availability storage ensure reliable access at all times.
Get the speed you need with flash-backed storage that delivers faster performance. Ideal for workloads that demand quick, reliable access to data.
Use Cases
Multiple front-end web services across different Availability Zones need to share and process common data. Without a shared file system, users must manually replicate content across AZs, which can be expensive
Scalable, shared file share accessible across Container runtimes. Shared low latency access for DevOps, IBM Kubernetes Services (IKS), and Redhat Openshift on IBM Cloud. (ROKS)
Most verticals follow an iterative workflow where distributed teams share data for processing. Common use cases include rendering and video editing in Media & Entertainment and variant analysis in Genomics, supported by pipelines, multiple local repos, and large compute farms.
Distributed development teams need an organized way to share code and related data securely to protect intellectual property. The solution must also be scalable, reliable, and highly available.
