AltaVault

Answer

No, AltaVault is designed to function as a local interface to your cloud provider and cannot act as standalone Network Attached Storage (NAS)

Additional Information

Appliance functions include but are not limited to:

local caching
encryption
deduplication
local network access by certain NAS protocols, including NFS and CIFS/SMB.

Without a valid and reachable cloud bucket, the service cannot start and appliance functionality is limited.

Limitations include:

Cannot store or access data via NAS protocols.
