1 INVESTOR NEWSLETTER ISSUE N 3 Storage Made Easy Providing an Enterprise File Share and Sync Solution for OpenStack

2 Storage Made Easy Enterprise File Share and Sync Solution for OpenStack The Storage Made Easy (SME) Cloud File Server is a comprehensive Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing (EFSS) solution built on top of the SME revolutionary Cloud Control Gateway. Today, corporate IT is trying to embrace the influx of cloud storage brought on by the adoption of the cloud and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). The SME Cloud Control Gateway allows IT to control access to OpenStack and transform it into a drop box style solution. The SME Cloud File Server layers collaboration, synchronization, governance, BYOD, audit, security, encryption, back-up and migration capabilities on top of OpenStack to give organizations an enterprise grade EFSS solution.

3 Use OpenStack with secure audited controls OpenStack is becoming the most foremost deployed Private Cloud Storage solution in the world. It is already being used in many small and large companies throughout the world. With more data being shared outside of companies there are more concerns becoming apparent about who has access to data that is stored remotely and when they had access. Storage Made Easy extends the use of OpenStack in 5 critical areas: 1. Enabling sensitive data to be encrypted with a private key prior to being stored on OpenStack. The private key is then needed before the file can be retrieved and viewed. 2. Enabling share data to have file sharing policies in which, for example, a password has to be assigned and / or links are set to be time expired. This feature can work not only from the web but also with an Add-In integration directly in Microsoft Outlook. A similar add-in integration for Mac users that use OpenStack extends Mac Mail with similar controls to the Outlook Add-In.

4 Use OpenStack with secure audited controls 3. Full file event auditing is provided to enable companies to have complete audit logs for all file events including remote file IP s etc of users who downloaded documents and users who shared documents and controls to set GEO location restrictions. 4. Enabling key data to be backed up to OpenStack easily. This provides a mechanism to backup infrequently used files to cheaper storage options or to keep copies of files available in the event of disaster recovery.

5 STORAGE MADE EASY SECURITY WHITE PAPER - SECURITY FAQ Use OpenStack with secure audited controls 5. Audit Watch Cloud administrators can set up an Audit Watch on files which enables them to be informed in real time of any file activity on any file or combination of files, or even a folder, that is stored on OpenStack. Once the designated file event takes place the administrator will receive an alert informing them of the event and which user invoked the event. This can be extremely useful to keep informed of file access, changes, sharing or downloads on any type of file.

6 Access OpenStack from any Protocol OpenStack does not support WebDav, FTP, or SFTP by default but Storage Made Easy adds these features making it easy to interact with OpenStack or share data using common protocols. As an example Lush, the global cosmetics manufacturer uses SME with OpenStack in over 50 countries to provide a global Enterprise File Share and Sync Solution (EFSS).

7 Drive Access into OpenStack from any desktop The Storage Made Easy Web Drives for Mac, Windows and Linux are a great opportunity to extend access to OpenStack directly into a users desktop. Drive mapping can also be configured using scripts and can be a replacement for existing network drive access. OpenStack Accessible from native Drives in Windows and Mac

8 integration with OpenStack from Outlook / Mac Mail Secure links to OpenStack files can be done directly from Microsoft Outlook and Mac Mail, or new files can be uploaded from the desktop directly to OpenStack and shared as a link. All such files shared in this manner are audited and can be password protected and time expired.

9 Unify OpenStack files and private data OpenStack files and private data shares (CIFS / NFS / NAS / SAN) can be united in a single interface for anywhere access through desktop cloud drives and mobile devices. Although Storage Made Easy functions as a Cloud Gateway companies can still take advantage of uploading files direct to OpenStack as the Gateway will discover and index these files on demand. Also note that no files are stored on the Gateway. It does not replicate data, it indexes data about the files including location to download.

10 Search document content on files stored on OpenStack OpenStack can end up storing a lot of structured documents such as Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and PDF files. As part of the Storage Made Easy solution a Cloud Content Connector can be used that indexes data remotely stored on OpenStack so that file searches can be conducted on content. iphone Search Example:
