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.
