and migration capabilities on top of Mirantis to give organizations an enterprise grade

Storage Made Easy Enterprise File Share and Sync Solution for Mirantis
!
STORAGE MADE EASY FOR MIRANTIS
Mirantis is a cloud computing services company, which focuses on development and
support of OpenStack and provides technology and support for clients to build and run
open source cloud infrastructures using OpenStack technology.
New legislation coupled with privacy concerns means that companies want an easy way
to know ‘who’ has access to data that is stored remotely, ’when’ they had access, and
‘what’ they did. To this SME extends the use of Mirantis OpenStack Swift storage in 5
critical areas:
1. Enabling sensitive data to be encrypted with a private key prior to being stored
on Mirantis. 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 Mirantis
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 Mirantis easily.
This provides a mechanism to backup infrequently used files to other storage options
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 Mirantis. 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.

Mirantis does not support WebDav, FTP, or SFTP by default but Storage Made Easy adds
these features making it easy to interact with Mirantis or share data using common
protocols.
As an example a large United States Service Provider uses SME with Mirantis to provide
a global Enterprise File Share and Sync Solution (EFSS) to their business customers.
Further details on this can be shared under NDA.

The Storage Made Easy Web Drives for Mac, Windows and Linux are a great opportunity
to extend access to Mirantis directly into a users desktop. Drive mapping can also be
configured using scripts and can be a replacement for existing network drive access.

Secure links to Mirantis files can be done directly from Microsoft Outlook and Mac Mail,
or new files can be uploaded from the desktop directly to Mirantis and shared as a link.
All such files shared in this manner are audited and can be password protected and time
expired.

Mirantis 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 Mirantis 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.

Mirantis 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 can be used that indexes data remotely stored on Mirantis so that file
searches can be conducted on content.
