Introduction
This white paper describes CentreStack for service provider and for
Enterprise. The solution can be used by businesses and service providers to privately
deploy and host file sync and share solutions, providing an access layer (browser, mobile,
desktop and file server access) around private cloud storage service and local file
server storage, and retaining full control of data and the related access infrastructure.
Quite often, our MSP partners refer to it as the self-hosted dropbox alternative
solution and our Enterprise customers refer to it as an enterprise self-hosted dropbox
alternative solution.
Many of your business customers are now faced with the Dropbox problem. The employees
of the business are using Dropbox on their own to backup some local folders and
make them easy to access from over the Internet. However, from business perspective,
it is not good knowing that company documents may be scattered on multiple PCs and
in different places on third party sites, creating liabilities for regulatory obligations and leakage
of business confidential documents.
For businesses that started to use Dropbox, they quickly find out dropbox is not a good fit for team collaboration because a single
file is replicated to everyone's PC and folders in an unnecessary way. Quite often, the collaboration can't start until the full synchronization
is finished.
Many of them are turning to you now for an answer. Since you are already manage
important IT infrastructure for the customer, it would be great if you could self-host
and manage a dropbox-like service for your business customers or for employees in
your own company.
CentreStack provides a solution for the problem above. First it enables
service providers and enterprises to install and host the solution completely on-premise or inside
their data center. Second, it can be integrated with the file server
storage, SAN storage, NAS storage or private cloud storage services such as OpenStack Swift.
Summary
CentreStack leverages the local connectivity to Active Directory and
local storage solution to create a self-hosted dropbox alternative solution.
The benefit is to give security and control back in the hands of the service providers, enterprises and the
customers.
