After selecting an access protocol to use for a namespace, the tenant administrator should consider whether the namespace should be optimized for all access protocols or optimized for cloud access protocols only.
The optimized for all access protocols setting lets the namespace use any HCP supported access protocol to ingest objects. This mode is recommended if you intend to use non-cloud access protocols such as CIFS, NFS, WebDAV, SMTP.
Optimizing a namespace for cloud protocols increases the ingest rate of your namespace but also configures the namespace to ingest objects exclusively through cloud protocols (REST API, HS3, HSwift). This setting is recommended if you intend to only use cloud access protocols.

Note: Once a namespace is optimized for cloud protocols and has begun ingesting objects, it cannot revert back to using all access protocols. |
To optimize namespace access protocols, make sure that the HCP system is not upgrading by checking the System Management Console Overview page for warnings and follow these steps:
1.In the Tenant Management Console, click on the Namespaces section on the top-level navigation menu.
2.On the Namespace page, click on the Namespace you want to optimize.
3.In the namespace, click on the Settings tab.
4.In the namespace left-hand navigation bar, click on the Optimization button.
5.On the Optimization page, select Optimized for all protocols or Optimized for cloud protocols only.

Note: Usually the Optimized for all protocols setting is the default setting on this page. However, the Optimize for cloud protocols only setting might already be enabled by your system administrator. If the namespace has not begun ingesting data, you may deactivate optimized for cloud by selecting Optimized for all protocols. |
6.Click on the Update Settings button.
7.In the Confirm: Optimize Namespace for Cloud Protocols Only window, type YES in the text field.
8. Click on the Update button.
