OCI File Storage

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) File Storage is a fully managed, elastic, enterprise-grade storage service that enables servers and applications to access data through shared file systems. Every file system scales automatically up to 8 exabytes and offers asynchronous replication, snapshot, and clone capabilities to simplify business continuity for enterprise applications.

Use cases for OCI File Storage

View more File Storage scenarios

  • CI/CD

    OCI File Storage can act as a shared file system to store configurations among different instances of the CI/CD tool. It can also store a cache (for example, an Apache Maven repository) for pipeline stages among different instances of the CI/CD tool.

  • Media and entertainment

    Digital media and entertainment workflows need standardized access with NFS protocols or concurrent protocol access. They also require flexible, consistent, and secure access to data. OCI File Storage’s adherence to existing file system semantics makes it easy to integrate with content production, media streaming, broadcast playout, analytics, and archives.

  • Stateful persistence for containers

    OCI File Storage can provide highly available and durable serverless data storage for the data sharing that must persist beyond and between executions. Easily scale as your container-based environments grow.

  • Content management

    Content management systems have multiple servers that need access to the same set of files to serve up content. OCI File Storage facilitates this with a common name space and access to a file system hierarchy.

The benefits of OCI File Storage


1. Simplify business continuity

Every file system offers asynchronous replication, snapshot, and clone capabilities to simplify business continuity for enterprise applications.

2. Collaborate seamlessly

Multiple users can access the same file structure, making it easy to sort through and find files. Specific folders can be created by project, status, review, creator, and more, allowing for an efficient and collaborative workflow.

3. Security on your own terms

OCI File Storage always encrypts your data at rest and in transit. Gain peace of mind by using your own encryption key.
