Big Data Applications
Web Services Content Management
Websites, online releases, and archiving
Web Services Content Management
KFS features high reliability and high throughput. It can be used to manage various types of web service content and provide data for websites, online releases, archiving, and other applications.
Enterprise File Sharing
Office file sharing
Enterprise File Sharing
KFS allows employees in an enterprise to access the shared files such as installation packages, documents, and drivers from different compute nodes, which helps branch office employees access centralized data. Enterprise administrators can use KFS to create file systems accessible to branch office employees.
Container Application
Shared storage for containers
Container Application
Kingsoft Cloud Container Engine (KCE) runs in your private network. The high-quality BGP network ensures fast image upload and download. KCE allows you to start a large number of containers within seconds, which boosts deployment efficiency. A shared file system is required for containers that need to access the raw data upon each startup. KFS can provide such shared space and therefore, is suitable for container storage.
Big Data Applications
Big data and shared storage
Big Data Applications
KFS features high throughput, the capability to store a large amount of data, and read/write consistency, which are all required by big data applications. KFS supports general file interfaces and file semantics such as file locking. Therefore, it is suitable for workloads that depend on file interfaces for interaction, such as server log processing and analysis.
