The End of a Journey: Farewell but not goodbye

As you may have noticed from the recent press, after a 10-year journey as a UK tech startup, Storage Made Easy has been acquired by file data services leader, Nasuni Corporation.

Behind every successful start-up there is usually a smart, hard-working team and SME is no different.  Along the journey I have had the privilege of working with bright, multi-disciplined people who have contributed to the company’s success. It has been a sincere pleasure working with all the people who have worked at SME, both past and present, and I look forward to continuing to work with all of them together along side the current team at Nasuni.

File Fabric File Encryption Update

The File Fabric provides various forms of encryption to protect files which has been touched upon previously in blog posts:

Use Encryption to Continuously Protect Multi-Cloud Data With the Enterprise File Fabric

Using the File Fabric to Provide Security of Data Across Storage Silos With Streamed Encryption

GDPR Watch – Transparent encryption of data

Why you, and not your storage vendor, need to manage your encryption

Encryption can be managed by IT at a data storage or folder level and it can be integrated with separate encryption vault, such as the Hashicorp vault.

There is however another type of encryption that the File Fabric supports, that is often turned off for end users in a corporate setting but which can be useful for certain use cases. This is personal or end user manage encryption. This type of encryption enables end users, for whom this is made available, to add their own encryption key for file uploads. This encryption key is not stored on the server. If lost the file(s) that have been encrypted are unable to be decrypted.

How a company can frictionlessly send or receive large files and folders using almost any storage with the Enterprise File Fabric

Many creatives use a variety of services such as WeSendIt, WeTransfer etc to send large files. This is something that is easy to setup with the File Fabric and the best bit is that your company can be in charge of the storage used including how large the file sizes can be, and everything will be audited and logged for data compliance and governance purposes and scanned for PHI/PII information.

Firstly choose from your existing company storage  a solution that you wish to use to  store the files on. This is the storage that will be used to send or receive files from someone. For this example we will use Amazon S3, which can accommodate extremely large files, but you could use Azure Blob storage or even cheaper storage, such as Google Nearline. Additionally a company could also set this to work against their SMB file shares, either on-premises, or SMB in the cloud, such as Azure Files or Amazon FSx.

Once you have your storage added to the File Fabric we are going to use the File Fabric’s ‘Drop Folder’ feature to both send large files and folder sets to end users as well as provide a link to end users so they can share large files sets.
