Network File Interface

VERVIEW
The Network File Interface (NFI) service allows you to automatically move
data from your Verde array to one or more BlackPearl systems, without the
need to use a Spectra S3 client. Data is transferred on a schedule and data
copied from the Verde array to the system can be configured to be kept on
the array or deleted.
When a user needs access to data deleted from the Verde array, they can
use the Spectra Deep Storage Browser (DSB) or an API client to retrieve the
files from the BlackPearl system.
Note: Beginning with Verde 3.1.4, objects sent to a BlackPearl system
using the NFI service include ACL (Access Control List)
metadata, such as file permissions, ownership, and groups.
When the objects are retrieved, the API client needs to
reconstruct the ACL metadata.
