A LanceDB Enterprise deployment sets up its own +storage when it is deployed, so a `db://` connection passes none of these +options except an Azure storage account name -- see +[Deployment](/enterprise/deployment) for how a deployment is set up. + LanceDB's storage layer is built on modular, disk-first components. That design makes it flexible enough to run across local NVMe, EBS, EFS, and any object store that exposes an S3-compatible API. It also supports region-specific backends such as [Tencent COS](/storage/configuration#tencent-cos) and cache-acceleration layers such as [GooseFS](/storage/configuration#goosefs). Choosing a backend is a balance between latency, scalability, cost, and operational complexity. Use this guide to pick the right fit for your workload.
