Integrate FileCloud and NetApp AFF Storage
NetApp AFF devices are scalable Network Attached Storage (NAS) solutions that can be used by large enterprises to store files on-premises and make data available as network shares via LAN. They are popular as they provide low latency access to files as well as security with restrictions on external or off-premises access.
Many organizations in critical infrastructure industries, including manufacturing, architecture, finance, and education rely on terabytes of data stored in on-prem servers. However, this data cannot be easily accessed outside the organization’s network, partially due to security designs and partially due to hardware and software capabilities.
The COVID-19 Effect on IT Infrastructure
However, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in major innovation for hardware and software to enable remote file access and collaboration, including files considered sensitive or confidential. In our revolutionized work environments, employees, venders, partners, clients, and end-users have an even greater expectation for access to data, without compromising security.
FileCloud can help enterprises and organizations extend secure access to files, thus enabling real-time file sharing and collaboration. FileCloud maps existing NetAPP AFF file servers as network folders, making them available on any system outside the office, with a full suite of access authentication and security tools to ensure data is not leaked or compromised.
FileCloud also provides low latency access to large files, with resumable file uploads for improved efficiency. FileCloud easily integrates with existing Active Directory, NTFS file permissions, and network shares, alleviating the administrative burden during migration by presering and carrying over complex permissions.
