Network

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

When Network File Storage (2nd Gen) volumes are created, they are assigned a public IP address, which is used to access them.

Since Network File Storage (2nd Gen) volumes are located in protected network zones, access to the volumes is only possible via predefined IP addresses that are listed on an allowlist.

Please ensure the IP addresses listed there meet the following criteria:

Individual IP addresses without a subnet mask (e.g., 128.65.210.80)
Addresses for entire networks in CIDR notation (e.g., 10.10.10.0/24)
- Please note that networks ranging in size from /8 to /32 are supported
- Individual IP addresses can also be specified by using a /32 subnet mask (e.g., 128.65.210.80/32)
IP addresses that are neither individual addresses nor network addresses cannot be used.
IPv6 addresses cannot be used at this time.

Warning

Please note that, to protect your data, only IP addresses from plusserver network ranges can be specified to access the NFS volume.

We strongly advise against allowing IP addresses originating from a different AZ.

Performance Classes

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Network File Storage (2nd Gen) is available in two performance classes – Performance and High Performance. These differ primarily in terms of potential data throughput and achievable latency, and are each suited for different use cases.
Purchasing and scaling are done in 100 GB packages within a selected performance class – up to a maximum of 200 packages (equivalent to 20 TB) per volume. Upgrades beyond this limit are only possible after consulting with plusserver Support.

Volumes

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

NFS volumes represent allocated storage areas within a storage system.
Access is achieved by mounting the volumes on a Linux host. For this purpose, integration into pluscloud or a Dedicated Server is a suitable option.

Warning

Please note that integration with Windows systems is currently not possible.

Currently, neither Windows systems nor Kerberos authentication are supported.

Network File Storage (2nd Gen) supports NFS version NFSv4.

Mounting Network File Storage (2nd Gen) Volumes

Mounting is performed using NFS.
First, the appropriate NFS client package must be installed on the target system - depending on the Linux distribution being used:
