NFS / SAMBA Shares

What are they?

NFS shares (for Linux/Unix systems) and SAMBA shares (for Windows and macOS environments) allow access to networked shared storage spaces, which can be easily integrated with servers, workstations, computing clusters, and virtualized environments.

Key features include:

  • Scalable capacity on the order of tens of TB
  • High performance for simultaneous access
  • Continuous availability and data protection systems
  • Replication on redundant infrastructure

Benefits

  • Simple and transparent access to data from multiple systems
  • Secure sharing among members of research groups
  • Ideal for research datasets, experimental results, and backups
  • Integration with computing infrastructures and University services
