Concepts and terminology
Last updated on
This section contains important information about the different File Storage resources and how to use them.
Concepts
Section titled “Concepts”Interconnection
Section titled “Interconnection”A STACKIT File Storage is always connected to an STACKIT Network Area (SNA). Therefore, a dedicated subnet of the SNA-Network is reserved and used to interconnect the whole SNA with the STACKIT File Storage (routed per default). It can be restricted by policies, if required. STACKIT File Storage requires routing tables to be enabled in the STACKIT Network Area. More information on how to do so can be found in the routing tables docs.
When configuring the SNA, please ensure the following requirements are met:
- There are sufficient IP networks available within the SNA.
- The minimum size for any new subnet must be set to at least /29.
- For the SFS interconnection, at least one subnet with /28 and four subnets with /29 are required.
Data encryption
Section titled “Data encryption”All Resource Pools and its NFS Shares are encrypted “at rest” with AES 256 on the backend system.
