# Storage Integrations Overview

This guide will cover general prerequisites and running Alluxio locally with your desired under storage system. To learn how to configure Alluxio with each individual storage system, please look at their respective pages. Refer to [configuring mount points](/ee-ai-en/ai-3.3/feature/alluxio-namespace-and-under-file-system-namespaces.md#configuring-for-ufs) to learn about the commands to mount the storages into Alluxio's namespace.

## Prerequisites

In preparation for using your chosen storage system with Alluxio, please be sure you have all the required location, credentials, and additional properties before you begin configuring Alluxio to your under storage system.

For the purposes of this guide, the following are placeholders.
