You have many files on an on-premises file server that includes graphics files, such as Adobe Photoshop files. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you want to enable remote access to these files for employees working from home and remote locations. The company allowed a VPN connection which typically runs over the Internet, but the Internet has quite different network characteristics than a company or home network. Local networks usually offer a high amount of download bandwidth, low and stable latency, very little packet loss, and almost no data corruption. Contrary to that, Internet connections offer a lot less bandwidth and have a relatively high, very fluctuating latency, and data corruption is a norm.
Employees accessing the files over VPN connections started to complain about very slow directory browsing (because of significant latency). Copying a remote location file was very slow and opening files on home or remote computers was slower. You considered 100% cloud-based solutions to circumvent this issue but decided against it due to the large amount of data on the file server and the lengthy migration time to the cloud. Recreating folder permissions after the migration was also a significant concern for this company as pure cloud solutions do not keep the folder permissions intact
You cannot migrate to a pure cloud storage solution yet because you are not sure about the application compatibility or the user's daily workflow changes if you migrate. However, you can enable a hybrid cloud storage setup to complement your current Windows file server infrastructure. The remote worker can access files and folders from the cloud and gain a speed and efficiency advantage.
You have a file server in the head quarter that employees access through traditional Microsoft Network. Employees may access the file server through a VPN from remote offices or home offices. It is cumbersome and slow for remote users. At the same time, you are also looking for a solution that minimizes the impact on the current file server infrastructure but better than what a VPN can offer.
For the hybrid cloud storage solution, you want the headquarter employees to continue to access the file server the old way, without any interruption or change of behavior. You want the file server contents replicated to a cloud storage service and allowing remote users more accessible access to the same file server contents. You also like the contents between the file server and the cloud storage service sync up to each other.
With CentreStack, the hybrid cloud server solution facilitates a two-way synchronization between on-premise file server shares and cloud storage services (such as Amazon S3 and Azure Blob Storage). Employees can use mobile phones, remote devices, and web browsers to access files and folders with their existing active directory credentials.
Basically, after setting up a two-way synchronization, your file servers become a Dropbox-like or a OneDrive-like file sharing service. With one differentiation feature that one of the two ends of the data repository is tied to your file server network shares, while the other end is on a particular cloud storage service.
CentreStack adds secure remote access and file sharing, disaster prevention, and recovery to file servers on-premises with easy cloud migration to private cloud storage. It is a private, hybrid cloud storage and cloud server solution that integrates with your current file server infrastructure.
