Network Shares

Network shares provide a way to store large amounts of data

With OpenStack Manila, users have the ability to create different kinds of network shares depending on their use case. Large datasets may be placed on “usershares”, which can be accessed directly from the desktop, in JupyterHub or on the HPC cluster PALMA. We also support IP based NFS shares as well as native CephFS shares, which can both be mounted in virtual machines or external servers.
