Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. Unleash the power of Amazon S3 as a corporate cloud file server with desktop drive remote access, secure file sharing over web browser, and accompanied by mobile applications on iOS and Android devices.

With CentreStack and Amazon S3 combined, files and folders are served directly from Amazon S3 buckets with user permission control and mapped drive access.
In the past, for mobile workforce working from branch offices, accessing files and folders may not be as straight forward as those working from corporate head quarters. Site-to-site VPN may need to be used to access files from centralized corporate file servers.
After consolidating branch office file servers into one cloud file server as files and folders are now sitting inside Amazon S3 buckets, mobile workforce accessing data from branch offices are the same as those employees from corporate head quarters.
With Amazon S3 as the target storage repository, CentreStack provides additional features such as file server network folder synchronization and cloud backup to enhance business continuity and cloud migration.
File server folder synchronization is a good way to migrate file server network shared folders to a centralized cloud file server. The Global workspace is established when files and folders from multiple branch offices populate into the global workspace. Cloud file server centralize remote file server access, file sharing and collaboration, while at the same time, keeping local file servers at each branch offices for local backup and local performance enhancements.
