![image](https://cloudian.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/icon-multi-protocol-_switching-light.png)### Multi-Protocol Support

Supports Windows and Linux clients and applications. SMB (CIFS), NFS, POSIX compliant. Also supports Active Directory and LDAP integration.​

![image](https://cloudian.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/icon-modular-_scalability-light.svg)### Scalable Capacity

Scale from terabytes to petabytes, without disruption, simply by adding Cloudian HyperStore nodes. Cached data within HyperStore File Services nodes accelerates access to frequently used files.

Create non-rewritable, non-erasable data to prevent files from being altered or deleted until a set retention date.

## Testimonial

“Cloudian HyperStore File Services is the first solution we’ve seen that combines the file management features and rock-solid data durability we need with the scalability, simplicity, and value that will help us save significantly on CAPEX and OPEX.”

## Capabilities and Benefits

## Scale-Out Performance

Multiple HyperStore File Services nodes can access a single namespace for scalable performance. Independently scale performance and capacity to meet your exact needs

When a single cluster is shared by multiple groups or clients, multi-tenancy lets you assign separate namespaces to each group for isolation and segregated management. QoS at the storage level lets you guarantee performance to each group.​

## Bimodal Access​

Access your file data directly, both on-prem and in the cloud. Store files to any S3 compatible storage then access them directly — without traversing HyperStore File Services nodes. Store files to AWS S3, for example, and access them from cloud-based applications. ​

Each HyperStore File Services node includes file caching to accelerate read/write performance. Select the appropriate cache size for your usage profile to optimize cost vs performance.​
