File Storage (NFS/SMB)
File storage delivers shared filesystems using NFS or SMB protocols, enabling multiple servers to access the same data concurrently. It is essential for legacy applications, media workflows, and container environments that require a shared POSIX-compatible filesystem. Reliable European options exist, though throughput and scaling ceiling vary significantly between providers.
