Private Cloud and Sync Solution, FileCruiser, by Promise

Hardware and data located in users' physical location

PROMISE Technology Inc. announced its all-in-one cloud storage solution – FileCruiser.

Filecruiser

A private enterprise file synchronization and sharing solution for enterprises and SMBs, it allows businesses to build their own private cloud storage service.

BYOD
The BYOD movement – in which employees bring personally-owned mobile devices to the workplace – is creating challenges for businesses. Security breaches can occur, and the ways in which employees connect, communicate and collaborate can be affected. With FileCruiser, the company is addressing these concerns. It syncs files across all of a user’s devices (with an app for both iOS and Android); gives anytime, anywhere data access and offers FTP replacement for file sharing, team collaboration tools and email attachment integration. It supports thousands of accounts and gives IT administrators control by allowing them to set limits on the size and types of files users can upload and sync.

How is FileCruiser Different?
In contrast to public FSS services, this is deployed on-premise – all hardware and data is located in the users’ physical location. Users can manage the entire system, including hardware and software configuration, eliminating the security concerns of confidential data in public services.

Additionally, a features set, low TCO, flexible architecture, ease of deployment and maintenance, integration with existing IT systems, and API for integration with users’ systems set it apart from offerings.

Cloud storage is an enabler for innovation, collaboration and productivity,” said James Lee, CEO, PROMISE. “It provides a means for mobile access that keeps workers connected and contributing. This is one of the reasons we see the amount of data being stored in the cloud growing at such a rapid pace. However, we know that in a business setting, security continues to be a top concern. With FileCruiser we’re not only offering Dropbox-like services, but also building in enterprise security in a platform that is designed to be deployed as a private cloud to deliver the highest level of protection.

Deployment
The system can be implemented on various hardware platforms, including on a 3U-16 bay Intel x86 server-storage appliance, which is suitable to be deployed by SMBs. In addition, if performance demands it, it can be implemented on multiple Intel x86 1U servers connected to PROMISE storage. It provides the redundancy to protect both servers and storage.

Scale-out Storage Platform
This debut marks the first step of the company’s plan to introduce a lineup of cloud solutions that address the storage and access needs for businesses and organizations.

It will launch its first scale-out cloud storage appliance for Virtual SAN this fall – the H1970 – which consists of 70 HDD bays with two independent server nodes that provide HA, high storage capacity and high networking throughput. When combined with VMware Virtual SAN technology, it is able to consolidate free disk space in different servers into one virtual storage pool and can be used as a VDI appliance and virtual appliance – ideal for remote branch office or departmental offices. A storage solution that lowers cost per terabyte, requires less cabling and rack space and reduces electricity costs, it is also a good fit for deployment by datacenter vendors for hosting purposes.

PROMISE demonstrated the FileCruiser and the H1970 at VMWorld in San Francisco, CA.

FileCruiser is available through the company’s network of distributors and VARs and comes in multiple models to meet the demands of users on various scales.
