HouseLens Uses Storage Made Easy File Share and Sync

Storage Made Easy announced that their private enterprise file share and sync cloud control solution was being used by HouseLens, Inc., a video marketing company to backup video data from their video automation service using the FTP protocol.

It provides a data transfer mechanism for automation processes.

The solution can be deployed either directly in a private data centre or it can be used directly on a companies site. The solution is storage agnostic and can be used with over 45 cloud storage vendors.

The software solution also adds a visual permissioning console to enable administrators set permissions on folders, or alternatively, Active Directory or LDAP integration is provided and can be used as part of a single-sign-on strategy. These permissions are applied irrespective of the protocol or device used to access the service.

All mobile devices are supported including Android, iOS, Windows phone and BlackBerry. It also has built in BYOD controls to restrict usage of devices. These controls can also be used to set IP or geo-accessibility restrictions for enhanced security.

The SME solution platform also provides a protocol gateway which gives access to cloud storage data over standard protocols such as WebDav, FTP, and SFTP, enabling complete flexibility of access.

Jim Liddle, Storage Made Easy CEO said: “HouseLens is a great example of the Storage Made Easy solution deployed on IaaS hardware with HouseLens taking advantage of one of its unique attributes of the SME solution, namely it’s protocol gateway into back end cloud storage.“

Joshua Lomelino, HouseLens CIO, said: “HouseLens needed an enterprise data transfer solution to manage its nation-wide video production data. Coupled with cloud storage, the Storage Made Easy toolset provided the ideal automation pipeline. With our fast 24-hour turnaround on product delivery we needed a reliable solution for nation-wide delivery of video files. Storage made Easy provided this solution and has been a key pillar to our production pipeline providing consistent up-time so that we can deliver on our fast production turnaround to our customers.“
