How to Obtain a Multi-Cloud Asset File Listing for the File Fabric

The File Fabric unifies private / public storage assets for a company and enables these assets to be accessible from a single entry point, be this through a web browser or through a desktop integrated drive or mobile application.

The File Fabric ships with Audit Event logging that can be integrated with Syslog or that is available as an Audit Stream to plug into solutions such as Elk Stack and Apache Spark.

Whereas the Audit log validates the integrity of the various file events it can present a lot of information and sometimes the ask is a lot simpler such as a directory listing for a companies data assets that are exposed through the File Fabric and that may live locally on site and/or in the Cloud.

Enterprise File Fabric 2020 Highlights – Cybersecurity

The core focus of the Enterprise File Fabric is providing multi-cloud content collaboration with strong cybersecurity and compliance protection for a company’s entire date state, whether that is file or object storage; and whether that is stored on-premises or on-cloud.

Remote Working, or working on the move can often be the weak point of document compliance, but the File Fabric Apps and best-of-breed integrations mean that end user workflows remain the same and policy and compliance enforcement is unchanged.

Here’s a recap of the remote cybersecurity features that were reinforced within the Enterprise File Fabric this year:

Webinar: Next Generation M&E Workflows for Remote Workers

Since the pandemic, remote working is no longer optional, it is mandatory. Unfortunately, M&E workflows are ill-suited for remote work situations.

Traditional approaches to previewing, editing, staging and archiving large media files are unworkable over the Internet. With traditional workflows, production would grind to a halt as staff wait on long download / upload times, that is, if they can even access the asset in the first place.

Employee access from home creates potential security vulnerabilities. First and foremost, IT has to ensure unauthorized parties do not have access to proprietary assets and that communication links are secure.

Join us on Tuesday, April 14th at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST / 7pm CET, to learn how Cloudian and Storage Made Easy are defining the next generation of M&E workflows for remote workers.

As digital data doubles very year it leads to vast quantities of unstructured data as employees create office documents, PDF’s, videos etc. Searching and classifying this data however presents a challenge particularly as the data within companies is spread across a multitude of on-cloud and on-premises systems and is simply not joined up.
