Content

This technote describes the different storage options that can be used with a traditional deployment or a containerized deployment of Content Platform Engine.

When designing your storage and document ingest methodologies, be aware that Content Platform Engine does not have a built-in virus scanning capability. The Content Platform Engine treats document content as a binary blob, and does not open or execute the document before passing it along to the requester. However, it is a best practice to scan content for viruses or malware before adding the content to an object store.

IBM does not recommend virus scanning the storage areas used by an object store as the virus scanning software can alter the size of the documents and prevent the content from being retrieved by the Content Platform Engine. Scanning the storage areas can also have a negative impact on performance.
