# Configuring a new instance

When provisioning a new instance, the following objects are installed on first access.

* A datasource called **Internal Datasource** is an instance of the preinstalled MySQL database.
* A datasource called **MODLR Filesystem** which is a connection to the "filesystem" folder which is the default directory for the MODLR FTP Server. This is used when CSV files are uploaded to the server via FTP.
