    Abstract: A method for data storage includes specifying a plurality of File Systems (FSs) for use by multiple clients, including assigning to the FSs both respective global identifiers and respective client-specific names. The plurality of FSs is managed using the global identifiers, and files are stored for the clients in the FSs using the client-specific names.

    Abstract: A data storage apparatus includes an interface and one or more processors. The interface is configured for communicating with a cloud-based object storage system 5 having a built-in versioning mechanism that assigns version numbers to objects stored therein. The one or more processors are configured to receive data for storage from one or more workloads, to store the data as objects in the cloud-based object storage system, and to 10 update and record reference counts for at least some of the objects, by forcing the built-in versioning mechanism of the cloud-based object storage system to update the version numbers so as to match the reference counts.

    Abstract: A method includes, in a computing system that runs clients on multiple interconnected compute nodes, running on the compute nodes respective virtual switches and respective virtual heads. Each client is provisioned to direct file access commands using one or more access protocols to a respective virtual head running on the compute node on which the client runs, via a respective virtual switch running on the compute node on which the client runs. The file access commands issued by the clients are executed by communicating among the virtual heads using an inter-node communication protocol that is independent of the access protocols used by the clients.
