transform it into a DropBox style solution. The SME Cloud File Server layers
collaboration, synchronization, governance, BYOD, audit, security, encryption, back-up
and migration capabilities on top of SwiftStack to give organizations an enterprise grade

SwiftStack offers an OpenStack enhanced Private hybrid Cloud Storage solution. It is
already being used in many small and large companies throughout the world who have
embraced OpenStack Swift object storage.
With more data being shared outside of companies there are more concerns becoming
apparent about who has access to data that is stored remotely and when they had
access. Storage Made Easy extends the use of SwiftStack in 5 critical areas:
1. Enabling sensitive data to be encrypted with a private key prior to being stored
on SwiftStack. 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 SwiftStack
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 backed up to SwiftStack easily.
This provides a mechanism to backup infrequently used files to storage options other
than SwiftStack 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 SwiftStack. 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.

SwiftStack does not support WebDav, FTP, or SFTP by default but Storage Made Easy adds
these features making it easy to interact with SwiftStack or share data using common
protocols.
As an example AscoTLC, the Italian Service Provider uses SME with SwiftStack to
provide a global Enterprise File Share and Sync Solution (EFSS). You can read more
about this in the following article:http://www.storagenewsletter.com/rubriques/cloud-

SwiftStack 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 SwiftStack 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.
Also, SME does not store the files in a proprietary fashion, all files are stored as objects
with their original name and can be accessed directly from the Swift cluster as such.

SalesForce Integration
The Storage Made Easy Salesforce integration enables Salesforce users to store
documents privately on SwiftStack but continue to make the accessible through
salesforce as links.
Such documents can be encrypted and / or password protected for increased security.
Setting up SME Salesforce integration
Example of integration into SalesForce to store file links stored on SwiftStack rather than in Salesforce
This integration enables the use of SalesForce in a Hybrid Cloud mode ? A Hybrid Cloud
modes offers advantages of using public cloud services, such as SalesForce, whilst
enabling the ability to continue to decide to of store certain types of data privately.
A hybrid cloud strategy can address the security concerns companies have of where
sensitive corporate data is stored by offering an alternative to a pure cloud or pure
private implementation.

SwiftStack 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 that integrates with Apache SOLR can be used that indexes data remotely
stored on SwiftStack so that file searches can be conducted on content.
