Optional system configuration settings

The StorageGRID Webscale system includes a number of options that affect how the system operates.

This table lists the key options that might be deployed with a StorageGRID Webscale system.

Option Description
Compression Compresses object data, reducing object data size by roughly 50% for content that is not already in a compressed format.
Deletion protection Prevents clients from deleting objects from the StorageGRID Webscale system.
Encryption

Enables encrypted storage of all ingested object data. Content is encrypted during ingest and object data is stored in an encrypted form so that if a server’s object store is compromised object data cannot be retrieved in a readable form.

When enabled, encryption cannot be disabled.

Security partitions Provides the ability to restrict access to CDMI objects so that clients can access only their own objects. For more information, see the Administrator Guide.
Note: Security partitions are ignored for objects ingested through S3 or Swift.

For more information about options, see the Administrator Guide.
