Migrate File Server to Wasabi

CentreStack offers business owners and managed service providers a better cloud strategy for on-premises file servers using the Wasabi cloud computing platform and services. With CentreStack, you can instantly set up secure remote access with a network mapped drive letter in Windows Explorer, a mounted storage volume in Mac Finder, or mobile access from iOS and Android devices or web browsers. CentreStack can also be set up to synchronize file server shares with Wasabi Hot Storage for business continuity, mobile access, and secure file sharing.

Unleash the Power of Wasabi Hot Storage

Wasabi Hot Storage is the most affordable and powerful cloud storage service in the industry. Wasabi is 1/5 the price and 6x as fast as alternative cloud storage services like Amazon S3.

Wasabi is a cloud object storage that is compatible with Amazon S3. It can be integrated with AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure solutions, using the same protocol and tools. Wasabi is a value-oriented, high-performance, low-latency, and high-availability cloud object storage offering.

Unleash the power of Wasabi Storage as an enterprise cloud file server with remote access via desktop drives, secure file sharing via web browsers, and accompanied by mobile applications on iOS and Android devices.

DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS #1

Hybrid Local File Servers with
Wasabi Hot Storage

CentreStack File Server Agent installed on the file server that will migrate to Wasabi cloud over time. Supports Windows 2016/2019/2022 (32-bit/64-bit).

If the file server is in the same network as the CentreStack server, a direct connection is also possible (see Option #2). The file server is optional if you have other ways to migrate data to Wasabi and want a simple locally mapped drive to access the files and folders via a familiar Windows Explorer interface.

DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS #2

File Servers with Direct Cloud Access

Suppose you've already migrated local file server data into the Wasabi data center. CentreStack provides a direct file access solution from remote devices and mobile devices.

File Server as the Cloud

Problems Solved

CentreStack's file server integration and enablement solves these problems by installing agent software on your file server, or by mounting your file server network share directly into CentreStack if direct access is available. The software intelligently manages local and cloud storage and offers a range of cloud enablement options.

Most importantly, Active Directory security and the NTFS permission model are maintained as if they had never been changed. Drive mapping is also retained, giving end users a familiar drive letter to access files from remote locations. File locking is also maintained when multiple users are working on the same file at the same time.

Network shares from file servers are synced with Wasabi Hot Storage to provide a secure access solution for mapped Windows drives, volumes mounted in Mac Finder, and Android.

Secure Access and File Sharing

Attach local file server folders to your CentreStack server to enable remote access. The original network shares remain accessible over the local area network.

Server in the Cloud

You can also use these features by using an existing Wasabi Virtual Machines file server in VPC as a private cloud.

Global Workspace

Create a global namespace directory structure that unifies disparate file servers into a single folder structure and enables cross-site collaboration with a distributed cloud file system backed by Wasabi Hot Storage.

Migrate to Wasabi Hot Storage

Alternatively, the contents of the file server can be migrated to Wasabi Hot Storage over time to form a hybrid environment. This allows remote access as well as a background backup process for business continuity.
