Everpure FlashBlade//S500 has clear control and data plane segregation that enhances security and enforces role-based access. Data plane operations are restricted to authenticated users through designated data protocols.
Administrative tasks within the control plane, such as filesystem/object store lifecycle management, network configuration, and access control policies, are exclusively accessible via administrative interfaces (CLI, GUI, REST API). This separation prevents unauthorized data manipulation by administrators and restricts system-level changes by data users.
