Integrate FileCloud with Dell Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS)
Dell Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) is a massively scalable, enterprise-grade private cloud storage interface that provides extremely high levels of efficiency, resiliency, and simplicity. The unified management and monitoring platform is an ideal solution for IT professionals supporting enterprise data.
Dell ECS enables combinations of data type protocols and provides access to object services via RESTful APIs and HTTP/HTTPS semantics. All data is automatically balanced, which optimizes capacity and allows for performance to scale with growth. Enterprise IT admins can leverage API and heterogeneous protocol support to better manage and secure data spread across S3, Atmos, CAS, Swift, NFSv3, and HDFS storage.
FileCloud is a self-hosted, Enterprise File Access, Sharing, and Sync (EFSS) solution that can be deployed on-premises, on the cloud, or as a hybrid solution. Functioning as an overlay with Dell ECS, FileCloud creates a hyper-secure platform where end users can access object-based data, regardless of the underlying storage protocol. This access supports enterprise requirements centered on leveraging object storage for primary storage use cases. Stated simply, FileCloud can act as a file gateway for files stored in ECS or use ECS as an alternate file storage layer for FileCloud.
As a flexible, API-driven platform, FileCloud can be integrated directly with Dell ECS to serve as a secure gateway to structured or unstructured data. With this integration, users can leverage all of FileCloud’s powerful features and functionalities to organize, secure, and collaborate on files within Dell ECS.
Users can mount their FileCloud data as a Windows drive using a FileCloud client or as a Max/Linux drive with WebDAV clients. FileCloud can also mount other file sources simultaneously, creating a centralized, enterprise-grade file management system – a true single pane of glass for IT admins and business users alike. The storage access APIs used by FileCloud and Dell ECS ensure that the two platforms are easily integrated, not just with each other but with third-party software as well, without requiring new or reworked connectors.
Furthermore, FileCloud is compatible with ICAP, which provides specialized support for FileCloud’s Data Leak Prevention (DLP), URL filtering, and antivirus scanning, in tandem with preferred antivirus software. With these features configured, admins can implement an automated antivirus system to support data migration and repatriation.
