Protocol and cloud optimization

Protocol optimization improves the ingest performance of namespaces using HCP supported access protocols. You can either optimize namespaces for balanced performance across both cloud protocols and non-cloud protocols or you can optimize namespaces to only use cloud protocols, which are further optimized for improved ingest performance.

In order to benefit most from optimizing, it is recommended to increase system memory. Results are most apparent on a system with high object and directory counts. If you want to upgrade system memory, please contact your HCP sales representative.

Cloud only optimization improves the ingest rate of namespaces using cloud-based access protocols. This setting can be enabled by a system administrator for all existing and newly created namespaces on your system or by a tenant administrator for individual namespaces. While a namespace is optimized for cloud it can only use these protocols:

REST API

HS3

HSwift

On a system level, the default configuration setting is optimize for all access protocols. In this mode, the namespaces can use all available access protocols. This setting is required if you intend to use any of the following non-cloud protocols:

CIFS

NFS

Webdav

SMTP

Namespaces that contain objects ingested through non-cloud access protocols are not eligible for cloud protocol optimization.

Note: Protocol optimization changes cannot be made during an HCP system upgrade.
