Why Would HCI Products Need File Services?

File Services Options

• Public Cloud

• Traditional NAS Filer

• VM running NFS/SMB

• Cloud Caching Appliance VM

Pros & Cons Of Different Approaches

As A Service

• Unlimited scalability

• Integrated data protection

• Most HCI products do not have cloud plugin

Public Cloud

Traditional NAS Filer

• High performance

• Well tested architecture

• Must maintain separate infrastructure

• Will need backup system

• Accessible only from one location if not replicated

VM Running NFS/SMB• Lower acquisition cost than NAS

• Lower performance than NAS

• Which Virtual NAS to use?

• Even more difficult to manage than NAS

• Large volume even more difficult to backup in VM

Cloud Caching Appliance VM• Scalability advantages of cloud

• Data protection advantages of NAS

• Versioning to meet backup needs

• Performance advantages of NAS

• Capacity auto-managed

• Predictable monthly recurring cost

• Infrequently accessed data can be moved to cold storage
