SFS Capacity-Oriented

-

  • Maximum bandwidth: 2 GB/s; maximum IOPS: 2,000
  • Latency: 3 to 20 ms; maximum capacity: 4 PB
  • Delivers better performance and suitable for services that require large capacity and high bandwidth.
NOTE:
  • Latency refers to the minimum latency under low workload conditions. It is unstable.
  • Large files refer to files larger than 10 MB, and large I/Os refer to I/Os larger than 1 MB.

Large capacity, high bandwidth, and low cost

Cost-sensitive workloads which require large-capacity scalability, such as media processing, file sharing, HPC, and data backup. For workloads dealing with massive small files, SFS Turbo is recommended.

SFS Turbo

Standard

  • Maximum bandwidth: 150 MB/s; maximum IOPS: 5,000
  • Latency: 2 to 5 ms; maximum capacity: 32 TB
  • Suitable for services with massive small files and services that require low latency.

Low latency and tenant exclusive

Code storage, file sharing, enterprise OA, and log storage

Standard-Enhanced

  • Maximum bandwidth: 1 GB/s; maximum IOPS: 15,000
  • Latency: 2 to 5 ms; maximum capacity: 320 TB
  • Enhanced bandwidth, IOPS, and capacity
