Benefits
High Performance, Scalability and Availability
Nobus FOS automatically creates and stores copies of all FOS objects across several systems. Your data is available when needed and secured against failures and intruders. Storage resources can be scaled up and down to meet workload demands.
Security
By storing your data in Nobus FOS, you prevent unauthorized public access with encryption features and access management tools.
Easy data management
FOS enables users to manage access, cost and replication. Users can also manage the security of their data. Large scale changes across multiple objects can be managed by FOS.
Use Cases
Backup and recover
Create scalable and secure backup and restore solutions with Nobus FOS and other Nobus web services like Nobus FBS to augment or replace existing on-premises capabilities.
Disaster recovery
Secure your applications, organization critical data, and IT systems provisioned on-premise or in the cloud with Nobus FOS. You can backup system images on FOS and retrieve them if the need arises
Cloud-native application data
With Nobus FOS you can store production data; you can upload any amount of data and access it where ever ensuring agile application deployment and data access to more end users.
Features
Nobus FOS has a range of features that you can use to organize and manage your data with support for several scenario, permitting efficient costing, and ensuring protection and compliance. Objects can be accessed directly through the FOS container, or through an agent backup solution compatible with Nobus FOS
A container is a storage compartment for your data and provides a way for you to organize your data. You can think of a container as a folder in Windows® or a directory in UNIX®.
The primary difference between a container and these other file system concepts is that containers cannot be nested. You can, however, create an unlimited number of containers within your account.
Data must be stored in a container so you must have at least one container defined in your account prior to uploading data.
Management of Storage
With FOS container names, prefixes, object tags, and FOS Inventory, you have a range of ways to categorize and report on your data, and subsequently can configure other FOS features to take action.
You can replicate objects (and their respective metadata and object tags) into the same or different Nobus Availability Zone for reduced latency, compliance, security, disaster recovery, and other use cases. Source FOS container replicates objects into a destination container within or outside a Nobus Zones.
Security
Nobus FOS offers flexible security features to block unauthorized users from accessing your data. Use Data center endpoints to connect to FOS resources from your Nobus Data Center, or use a secure backup solution to encrypt and transmit data from an offsite location.
Access management
To protect your data in Nobus FOS, by default, users only have access to the FOS resources they create. You can grant access to other users by using one or a combination of the following access management features:
1. Access Management to create users and manage their respective access
2. Access Control Lists (ACLs) to make individual objects accessible to authorized users
3. Container policies to configure permissions for all objects within a single FOS container
FOS Access Points to simplify managing data access to shared data sets by creating access points with names and permissions specific to each application or sets of applications
Nobus FOS also supports Audit Logs that list the requests made against your FOS resources for complete visibility into who is accessing what data.
Block Public Access
A Public Container will allow anyone with the Public URL to gain access to your objects in the container. You can apply FOS Disable Public Access to every bucket in your account with a few clicks in the FOS configuration console. Both existing and any new buckets created in the future, ensuring that there is no public access to any object.
