Server Attached Cloud Storage

Augment or Replace Existing File Servers with Cloud Storage

Many organizations are adopting Cloud Storage to replace or augment existing file servers.  Moving non-critical files from an on-premise file server to the cloud reduces IT staffing required for running and managing a file server.  In addition, it displaces the costs associated with purchasing and managing expensive local storage with lower cost cloud storage. 

Mezeo-enabled Server Attached Cloud Storage scenarios include:

File Server Replacement:  By moving all of the files to the cloud, organizations can decommission the file server altogether and recognize a significant reduction in CAPEX and OPEX. 

Cloud Attached File Server: Organizations can add tiered storage to an existing file server, keeping the file server while moving some information to the cloud. 

On-Premise Cloud Device or Gateway: Using a Mezeo Ready cloud gateway solution, users can implement a policy-based data relocation process to a private or public cloud of their choice using CIFS, NFS or iSCSI access. 

 Benefits  

  • Reduce costs:  Reduce CAPEX/OPEX.
  • Reduce complexity:   Use fewer file servers, select your hardware of choice.
  • Maintain Security: Provide end-to-end encryption and full Windows-based access control.
  • Provide flexible access: Enable local access through mounted drive, web and smartphone access clients or access via CIFS/NFS or iSCSI protocols.
