Storage Made Easy Further Strengthens Its Enterprise File Fabric with Even

More Security and Governance Features to Aid Multi Cloud Corporate Data
Compliance

The new release enhances the Enterprise File Fabric to address business’ growing data protection
challenges which include the forthcoming GDPR legislation and the rapid rise of data breaches.

London, United Kingdom, January 16, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Storage Made Easy™ (SME) announced today
that they have released an updated version of their Enterprise File Fabric™ product, further strengthening
security, governance and compliance.

The release focuses on even further strengthening governance and compliance features that companies
require amidst a 2017 year that encompassed high profile data breaches, ransomware attacks, and the rise
of compliance regimes such as the GDPR.

To this end the File Fabric update introduces a new feature called ForeverFile™. This feature provides
archive and ransomware protection that continuously protects data, wherever it is stored. The
ForeverFile™ feature is continuously archiving data in real-time from one data store to another data store
(private-to-cloud or even from one cloud to another). Data protected in this way is always available to be
restored if and when the business needs it, in real time. If a company were to suffer a ransomware attack,
the ForeverFile™ feature can be used to quickly restore infected files.

The update also provides support for Virus Scanning on upload of files for added protection to data stored
in any of the more than 60 on-premises and on-cloud supported data connectors, providing unified
end-point protection.

With regards to the Healthcare Industry, the file previewer now supports Dicom which makes it possible
to preview medical images quickly in the browser, such as X-rays, MRI's or CT Scans.

Additionally the release enables a new feature for high speed transfers of large files, such as media,
healthcare and genomics data, with the introduction of M-Stream™. This new feature parallelizes large
file, speeding up downloads and moving data between different storages, providing speeds of up to
10GiB/second. M-Stream currently supports Amazon S3, All S3 API compatible Clouds and Object
Storages, Cloudian, Scality and IBM COS, OpenStack Swift, CIFS/SMB.

Support for multipart uploads (MPU) across to all AWS S3 compatible storages to support large files is
also added.

Another enhancement is intelligent lock synchronization between Microsoft Distributed File System
(DFS) infrastructure and the Enterprise File Fabric, allowing business to leverage their existing Microsoft
Distributed File System (DFS) infrastructure as a part of their cloud strategy. Companies will be able to
treat DFS shares as cloud storage and automatically create cloud DFS shares for users, based on their
DFS home directory. Companies often want to keep their existing DFS infrastructure, which gives them

virtualized access to network file systems, but extend it by enabling it to be easily, and productively
worked with outside of the corporate firewall often referred to as a private corporate drop box use case.

Finally, embedded document editors, such as Zoho Office have been updated to support Zoho's new
European web-based editors for document previewing and team editing. This will allow File Fabric users
wishing to use such editors and previewers to meet the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) requirements.

Jim Liddle, Storage Made Easy CEO, said, “There has been a lot of work that has gone into the release
from the engineering team and as a company we continue to innovate and strengthen the File Fabric
product. We have been one of the few companies who have recognized that data does not exist in
isolation inside of an enterprise and that for companies to really get their arms around their data, not only
from a compliance viewpoint but also from a productivity and analytics viewpoint, there needs to be an
intelligent layer that enables this, and this is what the File Fabric continues to provide.”

In summary this new Enterprise File Fabric release adds important new features that direct corporate
customers, service providers, and educational providers will need to meet not only their own direct or
customer requirements, but also compliance requirements, such as the GDPR, that will come into force on
May 2018.
