The files can be stored in the PUBLIC CLOUD | PRIVATE CLOUD | ON-PREM. The file system is leveraged to keep the file organized and accessible. The file can be stored in a flat file system along with this multiple other file systems can be leveraged for file storage and retrieval .The file systems are synced with the OS, all the OS Images be it it WINDOW | LINUX have their respective file systems.
All the major OS have dedicated file systems and file managers to store, retrieve, process and transfer files.
The files can be of multiple formats it can be ppt, tt, .exe, jpeg, .png, .wave , .html. All the major file formats & file types can be stored in a BLOB STORAGE or a flat file system.The file system integration is dependent on the enterprise level use cases and business cases.
The file can be stored and sent across via SFTP and SSH which can carry out safe and secure file transfer from one server to another both locally and globally. The users can store files locally, on cloud or hybrid storage facility.
The file storage is managed by file systems like NTFS,FAT etc, all the OS have file managers which is a system utility managing file storage.
Cloud machine images support all the major file systems hence during server integration the machine image will come equipped with its own dedicated file system.
Here the popular file systems:
-> Window File system
-> Linux File System
-> Unix File System
-> Mac OS file System
Here are the file system of each os:
- Windows : FAT (file allocation table ) | refs | ntfs (new technology file system | Objective FS |
- Linux : Et 2 | Et 3 | Et 4 | btrfs | jfs | xfs |
- Unix : Unix file system | vxfs |
- MAC OS : APES | Mac os extended FS | |FT | |Exfat|
The file system of two or more servers can be connected and file transfer can happen over SFTP or SSH connection, these protocol orientated file transfer and data transfer mechanism are very reliable and efficient in order to transfer data from one file system to other, compatibility issues can arise in some case which can be rectified by leveraging file system compatibility utilities.
All the file systems can be made compatible with each other via leveraging compatibility utilities to ensure that the file systems of different OS can work in tandem and carry out file transfer and processing operations.
All the file can be transferred via sftp media types aswell, be it sftp or higher application layer protocol like HTTP and HTTPS the file can be transferred safely and encrypted over the web via leveraging layer 7- layer 4 protocols of the osi model.
