Single Node NAS vs Scale Out NAS – What’s the difference
StoneFusion allows users to provision single node NAS volumes and scale out NAS volumes. Single node NAS volumes support less features than scale out NAS volumes. The reduction in supported features lets single node NAS volumes demonstrate significantly higher performance for compatible tasks when compared with “regular” NAS volumes.
Here’s a comparison between the features supported by single NAS volume vs scale out NAS volume:

Features | Single Node NAS Volume | Scale Out NAS Volume |
|---|---|---|
Erasure Coding | Included | |
NFSv3 export and NFSv4 | Included | Included |
Directory Quotas | Included | |
Tiering | Included | |
File-level WORM | Included | |
Mirroring | Included | |
Asynchronous Replication | Included | |
Creating Snapshots | Included | |
Data Deduplication | Included | Included |
Expanding by Adding New Segments | Included | |
Managed Storage with Enabled Flash Cache | Included | Included |
If CIFS export is enabled for the volume, then:
- Encryption is supported for CIFS sessions
- Enabling and disabling of handling for CIFS DOS attributes and CIFS extended attributes is provided.
- CIFS recycle bin is supported.
Single Node NAS volume can be provisioned on NAS Managed resource or as an iSCSI NAS Segment. This provides the user with the opportunity to get higher performance in comparison to types of compatible NAS volumes at the cost of less virtual storage allocation.
