Turn OpenStack Swift into a cloud-based file server solution with mapped drive, file locking, secure access, and file sharing! It is a file sharing server for both internal collaboration without VPN and external file sharing without the need to email large files!
A cloud file server has two aspects. On the one hand, it facilitates internal collaboration without a VPN, offering features such as drive mapping, file locking, Active Directory integration and permission controls. On the other hand, it provides the ability to send and receive files from external business partners and customers via Web links that connect directly to the underlying OpenStack Swift.
Provides internal employees working remotely with drive mapping, file locking, Active Directory and permission controls as if they were still working with a VPN but did not actually need a VPN.
In the past, the file server interface was for internal employees, and external file sharing was done with a different tool. If you use OpenStack Swift as your file server, you can combine the two sites into one.
Looking for an easier way to access your data in OpenStack Swift? Maybe you're looking more for a Windows file server with mapped drive, file locking, Active Directory integration, and NTFS permission integration? So what does Triofox offer that makes it interesting? Triofox layers Windows file server-like features like drive mapping and file locking directly on OpenStack Swift to turn it into a cloud based file server. You can seamlessly access files from mapped drives, mobile devices, and web browsers - anywhere. You can also easily share files and folders as web links from Outlook or web browsers.
OpenStack Swift is primarily for independent software vendors (ISVs) to develop business solutions, not for direct use. It's kind of like a hard drive that's not meant for direct use, but as a building block behind a tool like Windows Explorer or a file-sharing platform like a Windows file server.

Triofox, with its OpenStack Swift API integration, adds secure remote access and file sharing, disaster prevention and recovery to on-premises file servers with easy cloud migration to OpenStack private cloud deployment. For files and folders that you have already migrated to OpenStack Swift in other ways, Triofox puts a file server interface above the raw OpenStack Swift storage service and turns it into a secure access and file sharing solution.
Triofox bridges file servers and OpenStack Swift for secure remote access without the need of using a VPN.
Triofox uses OpenStack Swift as a central cloud file repository with version control, file change history, and audit tracing to ensure business continuity.
Triofox uses OpenStack Swift for secure mobile file sharing via a web browser or mobile application.
Triofox sets up a hybrid deployment between on-premises file servers and OpenStack Swift that can be seamlessly transformed into an OpenStack only solution.
"Simple cloud migration- The cloud migration process is simple and tailored to clients' needs. We can take the time to migrate individual users to the cloud over days or weeks rather than requiring everything to be done in one night. What kills in a data migration is rushing through it and with CentreStack we can take our time."
Triofox provides a mapped drive letter for end users to access OpenStack Swift in an easy and seamless way. It is not only suitable for a single user, but also for a team of collaborators working together on a set of shared folders and files.
Remote access to file shares from a drive letter without requiring a VPN. Mobile applications included!
Minimize storage and bandwidth consumption by automatically syncing and caching only the files you need.
Local cache encryption and remote wipe capabilities protect files and folders on remote devices.
Continue editing files in offline mode when you are not connected to the Internet. Reconnect and sync again when the device is back online.
Define different permissions for folders at different levels of the directory structure, or inherit from NTFS permissions directly.
Local file server and OpenStack Swift are synchronized with each other for business continuity and easy cloud migration.
From internal Active Directory users to external customers and partners, you can define user permissions for folder sharing.
Shared folders are placed under version control and notifications are available to users who have subscribed to the folders.
There are two products that can help. CentreStack installs agent software on your file server for file server integration and cloud enablement, while Triofox directly mounts your file server's network share into Triofox when direct access is available. It intelligently manages local and cloud storage together to provide a range of cloud enablement options.
Most importantly, Active Directory security and the NTFS permission model are maintained as if they had never been changed. Drive mapping functionality is retained so that end users have a familiar mapped drive letter for accessing files from remote locations and OpenStack Swift. File locking is also maintained for multiple users working on the same file at the same time.
Network shares from file servers are synchronized with OpenStack Swift to provide a secure access solution for mapped Windows drives, volumes mounted in the Mac Finder, and iOS and Android apps.
Local file server and OpenStack Swift synchronize with each other for business continuity and easy cloud migration.
