Maginatics Cloud Storage Platform Feature Primer

Transcription

1 Maginatics Cloud Storage Platform Feature Primer Feature Function Benefit Admin Features REST API Orchestration Multi-cloud Vendor Support Deploy and manage MCSP components from within your own code. Maginatics is cloud agnostic to ensure the broadest support for storage and compute providers. Facilitates unified admin interfaces and integration with existing admin toolkits. Cost control the ability to use a wide range of vendors ensures you can easily benefit from price competition. Notifications Reverse Proxy Central Management Server System updates and alerts can be sent directly to key personnel. Route clients outside your network securely. Single pane of glass providing realtime VM, Share and user statistics. Control or modify any functional component centrally. Compatibility deploy MCSP within the environment most suited to your business. Eliminate the need for constant dashboard monitoring and reduce the need for dashboard access. Reduce the need to open holes in your corporate firewall whilst still ensuring access to business critical data by your users. Simplified management path.

2 Enterprise-Grade Storage Features Backups Snapshots Disaster Recovery (DR) Hot Standby One-click DR VM Healing High Availability Site Caching Backup the central management server and all services on a set schedule. User accessible access to a view of the namespace at multiple points-intime. Restore failed VMs (either through healing, fresh deployment or by switching to standby) and clients reestablish connectivity. When deploying Multi-VM instances within EC2-VPC or with VMware HA, you can deploy redundant VMs and a database cluster. LAN-speed branch level read/write cache delivering high throughput. Backups can be used to recover your system in the event of an issue. Backups are stored in the cloud for security and ease of access by newly deployed VMs. Delivers a self-service file recovery mechanism, removing the need for admin intervention. Ensure the availability of your metadata at all times and reduce the impact on users through fast, transparent, failover to standby systems. Replica servers reduce your risk vector in the event of any component failure within a deployment. Enhances local access speeds for colocated workers. Reduces WAN usage. File-system Features POSIX and Windows compatibility Inline Deduplication Full support for POSIX or Windows file system semantics. Reduce data storage requirements by only storing unique data. Dedicated POSIX mode for applications that expect POSIX compliant file system behavior. The default file-system offers POSIX translation and full Windows file system semantics. Reduces cost at the object store. Reduces network utilization.

3 Scale-out Performance and Capacity Management Scale-Out Namespaces Byte-Range Locking Quotas Scale shares by seamlessly adding more VMs and services to support growth in users and storage needs. Administrators can stitch together multiple MagFS namespaces into a single logical namespace by creating a DFS link. File system exposes a full range of file locks, up to and including byte-range locking, for Windows clients. Support for storage quotas at the user level. No downtime. Simply add resources as your needs expand. Operate only the infrastructure you need. Enables delivery of incredibly large logical namespaces. DFS links appear as a folder in the source namespace, so users have to take no action. Multiple users can read and write from a file safely and in real-time from applications that support byte-range locking. Control storage utilization for users to control your cost centers. Multi-Layer Adaptive Caching (Client, Site, Content Delivery Network) Minimize potential performance concerns for remote users. Agents provide a secure local cache, Site Cache provides a secure shared cache at branch level. CDN (CloudFront) takes this further, delivering a geographically dispersed read cache of objects read by users, speeding access to object data for subsequent from that region. Optimize WAN traffic to route to the nearest data source whilst the Maginatics Virtual Filer retains control over routing. Ensure high, steady throughput rates regardless of user type and location. Utilize existing IT resources (e.g. endpoints) to provide cache speeds without a single point of failure. Security Features End-to-End Security SSL Certificate Support Data is encrypted in-flight and atrest. Servers can utilize CA-supplied or self-signed security certificates. Security keys remain within control of the enterprise and never touch the object store. Data is never sent unencrypted. Ensures certificate-based authentication for all actors within a deployment.

4 256-bit AES Encryption Single Sign-On (SSO) With Reverse Proxy All data is encrypted at source prior to transmission. Single sign-on supported inside or outside of the firewall. Files are split in to chunks and each chunk is encrypted using a high level of encryption prior to transmission to ensure the safety of your data. Simplified user operation, removing the need to send corporate credentials across networks. 3 rd Party Authentication Support Authentication profiles allow usage of your existing Identity Management Provider such as Microsoft Active Directory or other SSO providers (OneLogin, Okta) for rights management across MagFS shares and interfaces on a per share basis. Control access to your Maginatics Virtual Filer (MVF) Management UI and set your MVF to operate shares in authenticated modes with your preferred identity provider. Role-Based Access Control All administrator level actions within the Management Console are tracked on a per-user account basis. Utilizes your existing IDM to prevent a need to create new accounts and groups. Ensures all activities are logged against the originator for auditing purposes. Agent Features Native Mobile Clients Mobile support for pining files Secure Client Caches Fully featured mobile clients delivering access from Android and ios for users around the globe. Mobile users can select content to store locally on their device. Local caches available to the MagFS Agent are used to store encrypted data chunks for rapid access. Integration with the mobile OS for reading, streaming and writing files. Provides secure access for traveling users. Pin content to the device for access whilst disconnected. Provides very fast data access path when data is confirmed to not have changed. Greatly reduces bandwidth consumption for mobile users.

5 Web Client Multi-Share Support Data Transfer Auto-Tuning Fully featured web interface for the file system. Users can mount multiple shares as named volumes. Clients monitor their network environment and workload to optimize transfer rates. Access MagFS shares on any platform that can support a web browser. Reduces the need for client installation. Users interface with MagFS shares as they do with more traditional network shares today. Users experience self-optimizing transfer speeds without having to manually change settings.
