Business Access Use Case
There are two most popular use cases regarding cloudify windows file server. The first one is business access. In this use case,
CentreStack server is next to the file server so file server storage can be directly mounted on CentreStack and thus allowing
remote clients to access without using VPN (Virtual Private Network).
Business Continuity Use Case
In this case, you keep your local file server at remote branch offices and sync the file servers to cloud so there is a copy on local file server,
and there is another copy in the cloud. Together they form a hybrid access usage pattern, combining local performance with cloud productivity. The end
result is the customers can access their file servers from local or remote locations, without using VPN and at the same time has replication between
local and cloud.
