STORAGE MADE EASY FOR HYBRID CLOUD CONTROL

With the recent celebrity photo scandal fresh in the minds of companies who are either using or anticipating moving to use Cloud questions regarding security, architecture and governance are fair  ones to ask.

Without a doubt cloud computing offers advantages to companies that encompass ease of use, productivity and cost savings, however companies have concerns about if, how and where they store their sensitive data. This is where hybrid cloud can play a part.

What is Hybrid Cloud ? Hybrid Cloud essentially continues to offer businesses all the benefits associated with the public cloud whilst enabling them to continue to have choices of storing certain types of data privately.

The benefits of a hybrid cloud strategy are that it addresses the security concerns of sensitive data whilst offering a dual strategy, unlike a pure private cloud implementation.

This white paper outlines the advantage of using the Storage Made Easy Enterprise File Share and Sync Cloud Control Appliance in a hybrid Cloud strategy.

STORAGE MADE EASY FOR HYBRID CLOUD CONTROL

The Storage Made Easy Enterprise File Share and Sync platform provides such a public / private hybrid cloud solution but takes it a step further in the following

ways:

-SME integrates with many existing private data applications and public cloud solutions. Private data application examples are Jive, CMIS, SharePoint, FTP and CIFS. Public cloud solution examples are Amazon S3, RackSpace Cloud Files, Google Storage, Azure Blog Storage, Salesforce etc. SME does not force you to work with other storage or data that comes with the solution. SME is storage agnostic and it works with what you have.

-SME offers a control point for all corporate data wherever it is stored.

As  a control points Storage Made Easy can be configured to audit log all file events which can be exported as an excel file or as Syslog events for use with Business DashBoards.

The SME system also enables encrypting of sensitive files through the gateway that reside on public cloud Apps, or the choice of keeping these files entirely private behind the firewall but still accessible.

GEO location tracking and restrictions are also built into the platform as is secure file sharing across all data stores enabling a common file sharing policy to be set.

The system can also be set to track consumer cloud access such as DropBox, often referred to as the ‘DropBox problem’.

-The SME system provides a single pane of glass into all cloud services  and integrates into corporate identity management systems such as LDAP and Active Directory.

As outlined earlier SME can function as a public and private cloud data control point and can also be set to enable users to add their own consumer cloud accounts if this is a company policy, and it can track which corporate documents are moved, or shared, into a users consumer cloud account.

More effective corporate governance is provided by the SME Enterprise File Share and Sync gateway in addition to the added flexibility and security of the hybrid cloud model. The SME platform also provides a cloud control point for existing private data and public cloud data sets.

About The Storage Made Easy Enterprise File Share and Sync (EFSS) Solution

The Storage Made Easy EFSS solution is storage agnostic and can be used as an Enterprise File Share and Sync solution with one or more public or private storage clouds.

The solution allows IT to regain control of "cloud data sprawl" by unifying private / public company data and privately used employee cloud data solutions into a single converged infrastructure. This can easily be managed and be used to set and enforce governance and audit controls for file access and sharing in addition to providing deep content search of indexed data.

This approach provided a solution to the "Shadow IT" conundrum and makes it possible for companies to find a balance between the protection of corporate data and employee data by allowing businesses to monitor, secure and audit all data silos, be they private or cloud or company or employee, from a single access point.
