As a flexible, API-driven platform, FileCloud can be integrated directly with Dell ECS to serve as a secure gateway to structured or unstructured data. With this integration, users can leverage FileCloud’s powerful features and functionalities to organize, secure, and collaborate on files within Dell ECS.
FileCloud is a self-hosted, Enterprise File Access, Sharing, and Sync solution that can be deployed on-premises, on the cloud, or as a hybrid solution. Functioning as an overlay with Dell ECS, FileCloud creates a hyper-secure platform where end users can access object-based data, regardless of the underlying storage protocol. This access supports enterprise requirements centered on leveraging object storage for primary storage use cases. FileCloud can act as a file gateway for files stored in ECS or you can use ECS as an alternate file storage layer for FileCloud.
Dell ECS, the world’s most cyber-secure object storage[1], gives you unmatched scalability, performance, resilience, and cost efficiency. ECS delivers rich S3-compatibility on a globally distributed architecture, empowering organizations to support enterprise workloads such as AI, analytics, and archiving at scale. ECS customers are reducing TCO by up to 76% over the public cloud.[2]
