File systems.

Managed shared file systems — POSIX and high-throughput parallel options for training data.

▤ Storage
Overview

Fully managed shared file systems with POSIX semantics — from elastic NFS for general workloads to high-throughput parallel file systems that keep a GPU cluster fed.

How it works

Three steps to running.

01
Create a file system

Pick elastic NFS for general use or a parallel file system for GPU clusters.

02
Mount everywhere

Shared POSIX access across many instances with standard semantics.

03
Grow & protect

Capacity scales automatically; snapshots and backup are built in.

What you get

File systems, in full.

POSIX shared access

Mount the same file system across many instances with standard file semantics.

Parallel throughput

Scale-out file systems that saturate GPU clusters during training.

Elastic capacity

Grows and shrinks automatically; pay for what you store.

Snapshots & backup

Point-in-time snapshots and managed backup built in.

API-first

Provision it in a few lines.

Every service is reachable from the same SDK, CLI and infrastructure-as-code — one identity, one bill, one audit trail across the whole catalog.

import { aether } from "@aether/sdk";

const store = aether.storage.file_systems("training-data");
await store.put("run-42/weights.safetensors", file);
const url = await store.presign("run-42/weights.safetensors", { ttl: "1h" });

Lift-and-shift file workloads

Why one platform

On one model, not stitched together.

The usual stack runs file systems in one product, the model in another and the data in a third — and the seams between them are the cost. Aether Cloud runs it on the same platform that serves the model, governs your identity and deploys into your boundary, with the rest of the catalog one hop away.

One platform

No stitching a vector DB to one place, a warehouse to another and a model to a third — file systems sits next to the rest of the catalog, one identity, one bill.

The model is here

The provider that runs Aether runs your file systems — so the data and the model never leave the same governed boundary to talk to each other.

Built on demand

Need a capability that isn’t here yet? The model writes and deploys it into the same boundary — the catalog is a starting point, not a ceiling.

FAQ

Good to know.

How does this compare to Amazon EFS or FSx?

Managed shared file systems from elastic NFS to high-throughput parallel — sitting next to GPU compute.

Will it keep a GPU cluster fed?

Yes — the parallel option delivers the throughput training jobs need.

Do I manage capacity?

No — it grows and shrinks automatically; you pay for what you store.
