Data Store

Data Store represents the iFolder storage that can span across multiple volumes (mount points) in a given server. By default every iFolder server has a default store which cannot be disabled. With web interface, you can add and configure multiple Data Store across which iFolder data is load balanced. When the user uploads an iFolder, it check for the Data Store with maximum free space, and stores the iFolder data in that particular Data Store thereby balancing the load. You can add as many Data Store as you want. Having multiple Data Store thus makes it possible to scale the data storage capacity in a large deployment to meet the enterprise-level requirements.

You can view the following Data Store information:

Parameter
