Enterprise File Sharing
Storage services provided by CFS are suitable for organizations which have a large number of employees and need to access and share the same data sets. Administrators can use CFS to create file systems and set read and write permissions for clients in the organization.
Big Data and Analysis
CFS provides the scale and performance necessary for big data applications. Its high throughput for computing nodes, read-after-write consistency, and low-delay file operations are particularly suitable for the centralized processing and analysis of server logsets.
Streaming Media Processing Service
Media workflows such as video editing, audio-visual production, broadcast processing, sound design and rendering often rely on shared storage to operate large files. A powerful data consistency model together with high throughput and shared file access can reduce the time required to complete above work.
Content Management and Web Services
CFS can serve as a highly durable and high-throughput file system, which is used for various content management systems, storing and providing information for websites, online distribution, archiving, and other applications.
Dedicated Software Environment
CFS provides the foundation for migrating traditional service architectures to the Clouds for sectors like retailing and finance. In general, dedicated software requires the sharing of the same CFS system, and it only supports POSIX standard protocol operations.
