Virtual file systems (VFS)

Syncplify Server! virtualizes access to its back-end storage by means of virtual file systems (VFS) to provide a layer or unification and isolation which, ultimately, deliver an increased level of security.

Depending on the edition (license) of Syncplify Server! you own, you may have access to some or all of the following virtual file system types:

Disk

This is the most common VFS type, and is available in all editions of the software. It saves files to a disk (or disk-like) storage.

SFTP

This VFS can be used effectively as a reverse-proxy to another (remote) SFTP server.

S3

This VFS can be used to store files into Amazon S3 (AWS) cloud object storage back-end.

Azure

This VFS can be used to store files into Microsoft Azure cloud blob storage back-end.

GCP

This VFS can be used to store files into Google Cloud Platform object storage back-end.
