F.A.C.E. Inc, and Cloudian’s HyperStore on-premise cloud storage solution provides protection against data loss, corruption and ransomware in a single platform. Data stored on HyperStore is natively protected from corruption and loss, can be configured as WORM and versioning enabled to protect against ransomware and keep copies governed with a full immutable audit trail. Many applications are able to write data directly to a S3 storage target, once the data is written to Cloudian it is protected per the policies defined by the administrator, or passed through by the application. (ie. policies can include retention period, disposition date, access, etc.) With Cloudian’s HyperFile, a SMB/CIFS/NFS gateway into S3, file services and legacy application which are not S3 enabled, are able to leverage S3 and take advantage of everything object storage has to offer.

With S3 integration, the traditional data centre approach is no longer necessary. Simply meaning, backup infrastructure (Servers, storage, software, etc.) are not required, as the data on HyperStore is natively protected and governed. With HyperFile the same is true, once data is written/modified on the NAS gateway appliance, a copy is made to the HyperStore immediately protecting the data. No more backup every 24 hours that only protects recent data. With versioning, in the event of a ransomware attack, the modified (encrypted) data is a net new version, leaving the original data in tact and fully accessible. This means work continues to take the front seat, while the threat is isolated, and encrypted data is destroyed, never effecting the original data.
