Introduction
Gladinet Cloud makes it easy to use online storage services. Combined with Gladinet
Cloud Server, it makes it easy to unify multiple branch office file structures into
one single namespace.
Each remote location will share the same unified view of files and folders as the main office.
Problem Statement
You have multiple remote locations and mobile workers. The corporate
data center is close to the main office and the users in the main office have good
connectivity, speed and local user experience when accessing files and folders from
the corporate data center.
However, branch and remote offices may have slow access times for files
and folders in the main office which often has a file server optimized
for local access.
Over time, the data in the local file server grows as does the demand to access files
from multiple locations.
Previous Options
You may have a VPN solution that connects multiple sites together but it doesn't unify the data into a single namespace for access.
Gladinet Solution
Gladinet provides a cloud storage account with a global namespace that unifies file and folder structure.
From each remote site, you can have Gladinet Cloud Servers contributing files and folders to the unified namespace.
Benefit 1 - Great Performance
Once a local folder is attached and starts to contribute files and folder structures to the cloud, it speeds up access from the other sites.
Benefit 2 - Great Usability
When branch offices and main offices have local folders attached to online storage, the same files and folder structures are presented
to main office users and branch office users. Everyone will have the same view.
Benefit 3 - Online Backup
Since local files and folders are synchronized to cloud storage services, by default, they are always backed up.
