Dell DX Object Storage – File Gateway Architectural Reference

DX Object CFS Processes

The data flow in a DX Object Storage File Gateway depends on the type of configuration. The following
examples show, a standard DX Object Storage cluster (for reference purposes), a DX Object Storage
cluster with a single-server gateway, and a DX Object Storage cluster with a failover gateway.

Standard DX Object Storage Cluster

In a basic, standalone DX Object Storage cluster (see Figure 1), an application server writes a data
object directly to a storage node, and the Cluster Services on the CSN refers to its configuration
settings and then tells the object how many times it must replicate.
