Storage Made Easy Announced Cloud Content Search Connector

Storage Made Easy (SME) announced an enterprise cloud content search connector whilst announcing that Veritext Corp. the court reporting and deposition services company, as an enterprise user of the solution.

The company announced an add-on connector to its unified file sharing and file discovery platform that enables the indexing and deep searching of documents whether they are stored behind the corporate firewall or on a public cloud such as S3, RackSpace, EMC Atmos, DropBox, SharePoint, or any of the 45 other cloud storage providers SME supports.

The solution is able to index file content irrespective of location and make it available for search through a web interface, Mac, Windows or Linux desktops, or iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows phone mobile devices.

Veritext is replacing its legacy solution and using SME’s technology as a foundation for Veritext Vault, – a legal document repository with deep search capabilities.

SME CEO Jim Liddle said: “Our company is gaining traction in companies that have a diverse portfolio of data that is stored internally and on the public cloud. The benefit of the SME solution is that it is data agnostic, it will work with a combination of whatever data you have, in the cloud or behind the corporate firewall, presenting it in a unified interface, without copying or moving the data.” Liddle continues, “The solution enables companies, like Veritext to install a behind the firewall cloud control solution that aligns with regulatory and compliance guidelines for Protected Health Information and Personally Identifiable Information for all stored files. Liddle finished by saying “the addition of our private and public cloud content search connector in essence gives companies their own private search engine across their own internal content regardless of where it is stored. Access is is audited logged and controlled by strong permissions that can be integrated with Active Directory, LDAP, SAML, or Kerberos authentication.“

Frank Licata, Veritext CTO, said: “The SME solution provides us with the security, governance and controls necessary to meet all of our regulatory and client requirements while enabling us to take advantage of economical storage solutions in the cloud. It also provides us with robust “deep” search capabilities across large quantities of data at a speed comparable to what an individual would normally experience using the most popular internet search engines – and it’s available on the desktop and mobile.”
