In addition, GSc allows enterprises with data already on the cloud to speed-up cloud access by designating local storage as cache. With cache features, IT managers can further optimize cache performance with nine intelligent cache policies. Cloud backup also takes periodic snapshots of local data to the cloud for remote backup.

Data security has always been the top concern for enterprises to get on the cloud. GSc supports AES 256-bit data encryption to ensure no cloud data can be decrypted, and all cloud transmissions are SSL encrypted to ensure additional security. Built-in data compression and deduplication save costs by reducing used cloud data space. GSc offers connectivity to Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Openstack Swift, and Alibaba Cloud.
