Gauß-IT-Zentrum operates a central file server cluster. The network shares provided by this cluster serve as central storage locations for files, which users can access via the network to read, write, or modify files. The central file server cluster offers a high-performance and scalable file system that enables reliable data storage, easy data management, efficient data backup, and flexible scalability. The stored data is saved in different versions and is included in the central backup. The data can be accessed via SMB, NFS or S3.
