Features:
Your Private Storage. Cloud Acceleration.
This new hybrid approach to file share accelerates
access to your storage. This approach enables fast
access without exposing sensitive content to the
cloud.
Access. Where You Need It.
When you are away from your desk or computer,
you can get access. Use Cloudtenna mobile apps
to access your company’s file shares from
any device.
No Migration. No Change. Integrated.
No need to move files. No additional setup,
configuration, or managing new storage.
Extending your existing home directories and
shares, DirectShare uses what you have.
Secure Share. SSL Weblinks.
Using the same security used by banking websites,
employees share securely with external partners
and clients. Guests get a link to files stored on
your own secure private servers.
Same Login. Credentials.
DirectShare uses your current directory of
usernames and passwords, so employees do not
need to remember yet another set of credentials.
Managing user accounts is business as usual.
Zero Manipulation. Zero Knowledge.
DirectShare only reads your file details and
remembers where things are. Your existing
permissions decide when and who can access
a file.

government agency comes knocking at our door,
we have zero-knowledge of your file content and
passwords.

DirectShare is bound by the firewalls, file
permissions and other security measures you
already have in place.
How Cloudtenna’s DirectShare Works With Your Enterprise Network

File share and collaboration solutions are becoming ubiquitous, and their demand in the
enterprise has been exacerbated with the introduction of these features by Public and
Consumer-grade Cloud Storage Providers. This problem has been compounded in the
enterprise IT space with administrators now faced with user requests for public file sharing
solutions. Offering external file sharing as part of an overall enterprise solution prevents users
from taking their own initiative to install unsanctioned applications, fending off the rapid
proliferation of Shadow IT that is creating daily headaches for administrators who have no
control over third-party security and compliance.
This fundamentally flawed architecture of public cloud storage with file sharing has forced all
users into an endless time wasting cycle of “upload to share.” The irony businesses find
themselves in is not only paying for public cloud storage, but they are required to pay their
staff’s payroll to “upload” because of this architecture.
The Cloudtenna DirectShare virtual appliance adds external file sharing and collaboration
features to internal SMB File Sharing configurations. Leveraging in place domain network
architecture, users can now send secure guest links to files and folders resting on network
shares.
Cloudtenna’s NO LOCK-IN Engineering ( NO-LIE ) is built into its design.
Never holding any of your data and files hostage with a
NO-RISK, NO-IMAPCT, “Walk away at any time” Guarantee.
Simply disconnect the DirectShare appliance from the network, destroy the virtual
appliance or disable the service user account and you’re done.
You never have to download all your files back to your business.
All your files are safe on your servers, untouched!
Cloudtenna’s DirectShare virtual appliance software can be configured and deployed with a
wide variety and flavors of enterprise networks.
