VJBOD Cloud
VJBOD Cloud is a block-based storage gateway solution that enables you to create volumes and LUNs on
your NAS using cloud space from cloud services such as Google Cloud and Amazon S3. VJBOD Cloud volumes
and LUNs utilize local storage space for accelerated read and write speeds, allowing both NAS users and
applications to seamlessly and transparently access cloud storage space.
