Secure Enterprise File Share and Sync for RackSpace Cloud Files™

Nasuni Access Anywhere Server provides the easiest and most comprehensive application stack for RackSpace Cloud Files™ enabling users to store, share, collaborate and access files anytime, anywhere and from whatever device they choose using our innovative Cloud File Server.

RackSpace Cloud Files™

is an online storage web service offered
by RackSpace and built on
OpenStack.
Nasuni Access Anywhere Server provides a host of features for use with RackSpace data in conjunction with the Nasuni Access Anywhere Server Enterprise File Share and sync Platform.

RackSpace provides a development toolkit to enable access to RackSpace, and organises data in containers. These are not intuitive when working with data. Nasuni Access Anywhere Server adds a true Enterprise File share and sync for use with RackSpace CloudFiles.


The Nasuni Access Anywhere Server EFSS platform adds native FTP and webDav access and aslo enables drive and sync access from any operating system. All mobile devices are also supported.


Nasuni Access Anywhere Server also adds governance and audit control for all files and file events. File sharing policies can be set and file audit watches can be configured to push information on file access.


The Nasuni Access Anywhere Server Enterprise File share and sync Platform os available as a SaaS service, as a dedicated hosted platform (IaaS) or for Enterprise use on-premise.

  • Cloud Drives: SME provides Cloud Drives for Mac, Windows and Linux that integrate RackSpace directly into the business desktop.
  • Cloud Sync: SME provides native Sync from RackSpace to the business desktop for Mac, Windows and Linux.
