# Cloudian HyperStore

Cloudian HyperStore is private cloud object storage that customers typically deploy on-premises on any industry-standard x86 server.

Nasuni enables customers to leverage Cloudian HyperStore for high-performance file storage. By using Nasuni’s object storage-based global file system with Cloudian HyperStore, customers can modernize legacy NAS and file server infrastructure and achieve new levels of data protection and cross-office file collaboration.

## Configuration

Nasuni supports Cloudian HyperStore using the Nasuni Connector for Amazon S3.

***Tip****: With on-premises object storage, if you are using an HTTPS proxy, consider including the hostnames of the target endpoint for the on-premises object storage in the****Do Not Proxy****specification. Otherwise, the proxy server might not allow data traffic or might slow down data traffic.*

***Tip****: With on-premises object storage, create two DNS entries (“A” records) for the target endpoint of the on-premises object storage that point to the desired IP address, in this form:*

hostname.your.domain

*.hostname.your.domain

*This is necessary so that the Nasuni Edge Appliance can connect to the volumes using, for example, bucketname.hostname.your.domain.*

To configure Nasuni for Cloudian HyperStore, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that port 443 (HTTPS) is open between the Nasuni Edge Appliance and the object storage solution.
2. On NMC, click **Account**.
3. Select **Cloud Credentials**.
4. Click **Add Amazon S3 Credentials**. Alternatively, click **Add New Credentials**, then select **Amazon S3** from the drop-down menu.
5. Enter the following information from the Cloudian HyperStore cluster: **Name**: A name for this set of credentials, which is used for display purposes, such as ObjectStorageCluster1. **Access Key ID**: The bucket or container user name for authentication. **Secret Access Key**: The bucket or container user password for authentication. **Hostname**: The hostname for the location of the object storage solution. **Verify SSL Certificates**: Select this checkbox only if the endpoint has a public certificate. **Filers** (on NMC only): The target Nasuni Edge Appliance(s).
6. Click **Save Credentials**.

At this point, you can begin adding volumes to the Nasuni Edge Appliance.

## Adding volumes

To add volumes with Cloudian HyperStore, follow these steps:

1. Click **Volumes**, then click **Add New Volume**. The **Add New Volume** page appears.
2. Enter the following information for the new volume: **Name**: Enter a human-readable name for the volume. **Cloud Provider**: Select **Amazon S3**. **Credentials**: Select the **Cloud Credentials** that you defined in step 5 for this volume, such as ObjectStorageCluster1. **Region**: Use the default setting: **Other (S3 Compatible)**. For the remaining options, select what is appropriate for this volume.
3. Click **Save**.

This creates a new volume with Cloudian HyperStore.
