Data Container - Definition
The Container is the point of access for data stored when you use the Active Archive workflow.- Containers use the local Nodeum Disk Caching system when data are copied.
- Each container allows privilege management. Users & Groups access permissions configuration can be set for each container.
Containers are accessible :
- as a Network Shared Folder into the Nodeum's server in using NFS/SMB protocols.

Even if the file stored on a secondary storage, the user see the file, the user can retrieve it easily and the user keep the access to the data.
