[{$pagename}], storage capacity is [elastic|Elasticity], growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files, so your [applications] have the storage they need, when they need it. [{$pagename}] has a simple web services interface that allows you to create and configure [File Systems] quickly and easily.
