GeoDrive was architected to be a simple and easy to use Windows interface for storing and accessing files in Dell ECS and Atmos cloud storage platforms. GeoDrive presents buckets as Windows local drives so that existing Windows applications can be used without a re-write or development of an application to access the objects or files. An added benefit is that the use of GeoDrive is free of charge and can be easily downloaded from the Dell Technologies support site. GeoDrive has numerous features relating to data throttling, a built-in load balancer, metadata rules, integration with Windows performance monitor, event viewer, explorer, and server failover clustering, and S3 support for versioning and ACL. Performance testing conducted have shown that GeoDrive is truly lightweight and offers tuning options to further enhance the GeoDrive end-user experience.
