The Storage Made Easy (SME) Cloud File Server is a comprehensive Enterprise File

Synchronization and Sharing (EFSS) solution built on top of the SME revolutionary Cloud

Control Gateway.

Storage, and transform it into a ‘Drop Box’ style solution. The SME Cloud File Server

layers Collaboration, Synchronization, Governance, BYOD, Audit, Security, Encryption,

Back-up and migration capabilities on top of Red Hat Ceph Storage to give organizations

an enterprise grade EFSS solution.

Red Hat Ceph Storage is a free software storage platform designed to present object,

block, and file storage from a single distributed computer cluster. Red Hat Ceph

Storage’s main goals are to be completely distributed without a single point of failure,

scalable to the exabyte level and freely-available.

New legislation coupled with privacy concerns means that companies want an easy way

to know ‘who’ has access to data that is stored remotely, ‘when’ they had access, and

‘what’ they did. To this SME extends the use of Red Hat Ceph Storage in 5 critical areas:

1. Enabling sensitive data to be encrypted with a private key prior to being stored

on Red Hat Ceph Storage. The private key is then needed before the file can be

retrieved and viewed.

2.Enabling share data to have file sharing policies in which, for example, a

password has to be assigned and / or links are set to be time expired.

This feature can work not only from the web but also with an Add-In integration directly

in Microsoft Outlook. A similar add-in integration for Mac users that use Red Hat Ceph

Storage extends Mac Mail or Mac Outlook with similar controls to the Outlook Add-In.

3. Full file event auditing is provided to enable companies to have complete audit

logs for all file events including remote file IP’s etc of users who downloaded

documents and users who shared documents and controls to set GEO location

restrictions. This can also be configured to output in syslog format to work with

solutions such as Splunk and other log aggregators.

4. Enabling key data to be archived to Red Hat Ceph Storage easily.

This provides a mechanism to backup infrequently used files to other storage options

or to keep copies of files available in the event of disaster recovery for flexible business

continuity.

5. Audit Watch

Cloud administrators can set up an Audit Watch on files which enables them to be

informed in real time of any file activity on any file or combination of files, or even a

folder, that is stored on Red Hat Ceph Storage. Once the designated file event takes

place the administrator will receive an alert informing them of the event and which user

invoked the event.

This can be extremely useful to keep informed of file access, changes, sharing or

downloads on any type of file.



!



Red Hat Ceph Storage does not support WebDav, FTP, or SFTP by default but Storage

Made Easy adds these features making it easy to interact with Red Hat Ceph Storage or

share data using common protocols.

As an example the Université de Lorraine, which has over 52,000 students and offers

101 accredited research centres organised in 9 research areas and 8 doctoral colleges

used SME with Red Hat Ceph Storage to provide an Enterprise File Share and Sync

Solution (EFSS) to their users.

The Storage Made Easy Web Drives for Mac, Windows and Linux are a great opportunity

to extend access to Red Hat Ceph Storage directly into a users desktop. Drive mapping

an also be configured using scripts and be a replacement for existing network drive

access.

Red Hat Ceph Storage is accessible from native Drives in Windows and Mac

CIFS Drive Access into Red Hat Ceph Storage from any desktop


!



Secure links to Red Hat Ceph Storage files can be done directly from Microsoft Outlook

and Mac Mail, or new files can be uploaded from the desktop directly to Red Hat Ceph

Storage and shared as a link. All such files shared in this manner are audited and can be

password protected and time expired.

Email integration with Red Hat Ceph Storage from Outlook / Mac Mail


!



Red Hat Ceph Storage files and private data shares (CIFS / NFS / NAS / SAN) can be

united in a single interface for anywhere access through desktop cloud drives and mobile

devices.

Although Storage Made Easy functions as a Cloud Gateway companies can still take

advantage of uploading files direct to Red Hat Ceph Storage as the Gateway will

‘discover’ and index these files on demand. Also note that no files are stored on the

Gateway. It does not replicate data, it indexes data about the files including location to

download.

Unify Red Hat Ceph Storage files and private data

Access files and local files shares in a unified interface from inside or

outside the corporate firewall


!



Red Hat Ceph Storage can end up storing a lot of structured documents such as Word,

Powerpoint, Excel, and PDF files. As part of the Storage Made Easy solution a Cloud

Content Connector can be used that indexes data remotely stored on Red Hat Ceph

Storage so that file searches can be conducted on content.

iPhone Search Example:

The Storage Made Easy Solution is fully brandable, from the web client through to the

desktop and mobile Apps.

For ISP and OEM partners this means the solution can be fully integrated into a product

offering, and for direct corporate use it means that the product can be aligned with a

strong corporate brand identity.
