# High-performance Storage

## What is High-Performance Storage? <a href="#hpsgettingstarted-whatishigh-performancestorage" id="hpsgettingstarted-whatishigh-performancestorage"></a>

**File Storage—High Performance (HPS)** is a fully managed service that delivers **cost-efficient, high-performance, and scalable storage** for **GPU compute workloads**. It is designed to support demanding use cases such as **AI/ML training**, **high-performance computing (HPC)**, and **video rendering**, where multiple compute instances need simultaneous access to shared data with low latency and high throughput.

**Powered by VAST Data and DDN Storage**, two of the leading high-performance file system technologies optimized for **NVIDIA GPU clusters**, HPS provides exceptional performance—offering **throughput of up to hundreds of gigabytes per second** and **tens of thousands of IOPS** to meet the needs of the most data-intensive workloads.

## How Does It Work? <a href="#hpsgettingstarted-howdoesitwork" id="hpsgettingstarted-howdoesitwork"></a>

Mount **HPS** to **GPU Bare Metal** and **GPU Virtual Machine** services via the compute network (subnet) for seamless integration with your GPU workloads.

## Why High-performance Storage? <a href="#hpsgettingstarted-whyhigh-performancestorage" id="hpsgettingstarted-whyhigh-performancestorage"></a>

* **Highly Performant and Scalable:** Achieve hundreds of GB/s throughput and thousands of IOPS for demanding workloads.
* **Seamless S3 Integration:** Easily access and transfer data from other S3 buckets with the S3 gateway support.&#x20;
* **Simple and Fully Managed:** Launch and manage HPS in a couple of hours, with no need for hardware provisioning or ongoing maintenance.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ai-docs.fptcloud.com/fpt-gpu-cloud/high-performance-storage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
