File Server in Google Cloud Platform
Using a file server the data can be read and shared across multiple machines. It enhances security and keeps data safe from malware attacks and offers multiple access points for users.
A file server is known as a storage filer, which provides a way for applications to read and update files that are shared across multiple machines. File solutions have scale-up features and consist of storage attached to a single VM. Some solutions are scale-out in nature and consist of a cluster of VMs with storage attached that identifies a single file-system to the application.
Managed File Solutions in GCP
File Server is a fully managed Network Attached Storage solution where the files can be shared among nodes and clusters. It has the main advantages of 256-bit TLS encryption for files during the transmission time and 128 bit AES keys on the idle state.
Benefits of File Server
High performance: Provides storage service for applications that require an interface for data to store, which is attached to the network.
Fast and reliable: It offers low latency for file operations which provides high IOPS (input/output operations per second), which in turn handles maximum data in a cluster or data nodes. Using this the output will be very accurate.
Simple in nature: It is integrated with several API models which makes it easier for the end-user to access. Using the JSON API, the execution process will be very fast and resultant output will be more accurate.
Scalable: Using native API or control based API it can be implemented according to the requirement.
Features of File Server
Maximum IOPS: It provides maximum IOPS which clarifies quickly a given storage device or medium. It can read and write commands in every second, hassle-free.
256-bit encryption with NFSv3 protocol: This encryption format is used to secure the data so that it maintains privacy and security along with no data loss. Using 256-bit encryption it's quite hard to crack the encryption.
Secure data redundancy: Data redundancy is controlled by auxiliary storage so that there will be no partial dependencies on it and will be more secure.
Central visibility and control to mitigate risks: Using this feature the user can see the activities of the current data diagnostics.
Synchronization and permissions: Using this feature the data can be synchronized and the protocols will be set for the user to access the data.
