-### Architecture listing
+## Architecture listing
 
-OVHcloud's File Storage relies on NetApp® ONTAP® (Enterprise File Storage) or OpenZFS (NAS-HA) depending on the offer. The architecture is active-active, with redundancy across two nodes and local data replication to ensure high availability. Volumes are accessible via NFSv3 or NFSv4, depending on the commercial offer, and can be mounted on multiple servers, with the option for automatic/manual snapshots and private network integration via vRack.

-### Cost and fees
+## Cost and fees
 
 No termination fees: There is no additional charge by default for data migration. Billing stops as soon as the service is terminated.
 Payment is made at the beginning of the month, and refunds are not possible if the service is terminated during the month. The same applies to commitments for 12, 24, or 36 months.
 
-### Retention of data after contract termination
+## Retention of data after contract termination
 
 Data is deleted upon service termination and cannot be recovered. To prevent data loss, an export must be performed before termination.
