Why choose File Storage?
A flexible solution
Deploy and resize your shared volumes to the nearest GiB using the OVHcloud Control Panel, OVHcloud CLI, OVHcloud Terraform provider, or via API. Compatible with OpenStack API and Manila CSI driver, OVHcloud File Storage provides storage that adapts to your needs and supports your workloads and applications – without the need for manual configuration.
A secure infrastructure
Your data is protected with OMK encryption (OVHcloud Managed Keys, coming soon), snapshots, and regular automated remote backups (coming soon). Your infrastructure is always robust and reliable thanks to compatibility with the vRack private network and compliance with ISO and HDS certifications.
Manageable costs
Enjoy linear performance tailored to your workloads (IOPS and MiB/s), while keeping costs in check with competitive and transparent pricing. With File Storage, you can optimise your spending without compromising on performance and reliability.

Testimonial
“OVHcloud File Storage allows us to finally move away from VM-based NAS solutions. This solution significantly reduces operational overhead, bringing us closer to a truly cloud-native storage architecture. And it has exceeded our expectations as it is scalable, stable, and high-performing. It fits seamlessly into modern cloud architectures, providing the reliability our customers need for production workloads in the public cloud.”

Your questions answered
What is managed File Storage for Public Cloud?
File Storage is a fully managed storage solution available in the form of shared NFS volumes, with capacity options ranging from 150 GiB to 10 TiB and peak performance of up to 16,000 IOPS and 128 MiB/s.
It’s compatible with Managed Kubernetes Service (Read and Write Many Persistent Volume Claims or RWX PVC) and Public Cloud instances (NFS mounts).
What are the main use cases for this solution?
Horizontal load distribution: distribute your workloads across instances or containers
Dynamic resizing: adjust the number of pods or nodes in your Kubernetes cluster(s)
Shared asset catalogue: centralise resources (images, videos) for your websites
Personal directories: enable shared access to directories for multiple users
Is File Storage compatible with Kubernetes and PVCs?
Yes, the solution is fully compatible with Managed Kubernetes Service via Manila CSI. It supports Persistent Volume Claims (PVC) in Read/Write Many (RWX) to mount shared volumes directly in your pods.
Which version of the NFS protocol is supported?
NFSv3, the standard for containers and cloud instances.
What are the performance metrics (IOPS and throughput) available?
Available capacities range from 150 GiB to 10 TiB per shared volume. You can instantly increase storage capacity by GiB via the OVHcloud Control Panel, OVHcloud API, OpenStack API, or Manila CSI driver.
What are the minimum and maximum capacities?
Available capacities range from 150 GiB to 10 TiB per shared volume. Instantly resize by GiB via the OVHcloud API, OpenStack API, or Manila CSI (other consumption modes coming at GA).
Is stored data secure?
The solution includes vRack compatibility for an isolated private network across multiple datacentres, as well as a 99.9% SLA. It will soon be enhanced with encryption via OVHcloud Managed Keys, regular automated backups to remote storage, and deployment across multiple availability zones.
In which regions is the service available?
The service is available in most Public Cloud regions (3-AZ and 1-AZ except SYD and BHS1), designed to boost your architecture’s performance.
