DX Object Storage Platform Overview

It is recommended that you configure the network topology to enable
applications to communicate with the DX Storage Nodes on private and
secure networks. This is the primary method to store and retrieve data from a
local DX Storage Cluster.
NOTE:
If applications write to a cluster through an unsecure network, then to
prevent malicious activity, it is recommended that you allow the application to
encrypt the data before writing the data to the cluster.
