Atmosphere is ideal for a wide range of use cases, including research, education, industry, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications that require fast and reliable access to computing resources.

Atmosphere’s Manila integration

OpenStack Manila is a shared file system service that enables users to create and manage file shares in a cloud computing environment. It provides a scalable and highly available file storage solution that can be used by multiple users and applications. It also supports various file-sharing protocols, including NFS and CIFS. With file sharing capabilities powered by OpenStack Manila, now available in Atmosphere, users can leverage this dynamic service for their file storage needs, making Atmosphere an even more valuable resource for their cloud computing requirements.

Here are some examples of how businesses and organizations can benefit from our Manila-integrated file sharing service:

  • research organizations can store and share large data sets among multiple researchers and projects
  • educational institutions can use it to provide students with shared file storage for collaborative projects
  • businesses can enable multiple departments or teams to share files and data across different applications and instances
  • OpenStack Manila's file sharing capabilities can also be used in disaster recovery scenarios, where files and data need to be replicated across multiple instances to ensure availability and redundancy.

To conclude, the availability of OpenStack Manila in Atmosphere is a major development for cloud computing users who require shared file storage in their applications. This scalable and highly available file storage solution can be easily integrated with other Atmosphere services, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of use cases. We are excited to announce that OpenStack Manila is now available in Atmosphere Hosted and Atmosphere On-Premise, with plans to make it available soon in the Atmosphere Cloud. This will give users even more flexibility to leverage this powerful file-sharing service.
