GeoDrive was designed as an easy on-ramp to the cloud. A few of the primary use cases are:
- Enterprises that would extend the efficiencies of ECS for native SMB access. In this scenario, GeoDrive is installed in a centralized server and IT would be responsible for mapping the virtual drive as a network share to clients and users.
- Application vendors (that is, life science, healthcare industries, and so on) who would like to use GeoDrive as the target for their Windows SMB-based application, eliminating the need for additional development, and have ECS serve as the long-term end destination.
- Global Content Repository/Archive and Long-Term Retention.
GeoDrive is not a good fit for the following use cases:
- High performance workloads/Dynamic file sharing.
- Sync and Share.
- Desktop solutions.
