How Files Storage Works
Files Storage provides a scale-out distributed file storage solution supporting SMB and NFS on top of Nutanix AOS.
Virtual file server controllers are deployed across nodes within an existing cluster, or on a dedicated file storage cluster. Nodes are designed to be self-contained and share nothing, eliminating single points of failure.
Files Storage architecture scales out easily by adding virtual resources and can be deployed across a variety of environments including datacenters, remote and branch offices, edge locations, and clouds.
