Red Hat Ceph Storage is a free software storage platform designed to present object,
block, and file storage from a single distributed computer cluster. Red Hat Ceph
Storage’s main goals are to be completely distributed without a single point of failure,
scalable to the exabyte level and freely-available.
New legislation coupled with privacy concerns means that companies want an easy way
to know ‘who’ has access to data that is stored remotely, ‘when’ they had access, and
‘what’ they did. To this SME extends the use of Red Hat Ceph Storage in 5 critical areas:
1. Enabling sensitive data to be encrypted with a private key prior to being stored
on Red Hat Ceph Storage. The private key is then needed before the file can be
retrieved and viewed.
2.Enabling share data to have file sharing policies in which, for example, a
password has to be assigned and / or links are set to be time expired.
This feature can work not only from the web but also with an Add-In integration directly
in Microsoft Outlook. A similar add-in integration for Mac users that use Red Hat Ceph
Storage extends Mac Mail or Mac Outlook with similar controls to the Outlook Add-In.

3. Full file event auditing is provided to enable companies to have complete audit
logs for all file events including remote file IP’s etc of users who downloaded
documents and users who shared documents and controls to set GEO location
restrictions. This can also be configured to output in syslog format to work with
solutions such as Splunk and other log aggregators.
4. Enabling key data to be archived to Red Hat Ceph Storage easily.
This provides a mechanism to backup infrequently used files to other storage options
or to keep copies of files available in the event of disaster recovery for flexible business
continuity.

5. Audit Watch
Cloud administrators can set up an Audit Watch on files which enables them to be
informed in real time of any file activity on any file or combination of files, or even a
folder, that is stored on Red Hat Ceph Storage. Once the designated file event takes
place the administrator will receive an alert informing them of the event and which user
invoked the event.
This can be extremely useful to keep informed of file access, changes, sharing or
downloads on any type of file.

Red Hat Ceph Storage does not support WebDav, FTP, or SFTP by default but Storage
Made Easy adds these features making it easy to interact with Red Hat Ceph Storage or
share data using common protocols.
As an example the Université de Lorraine, which has over 52,000 students and offers
101 accredited research centres organised in 9 research areas and 8 doctoral colleges
used SME with Red Hat Ceph Storage to provide an Enterprise File Share and Sync
Solution (EFSS) to their users.

Red Hat Ceph Storage files and private data shares (CIFS / NFS / NAS / SAN) can be
united in a single interface for anywhere access through desktop cloud drives and mobile
devices.
Although Storage Made Easy functions as a Cloud Gateway companies can still take
advantage of uploading files direct to Red Hat Ceph Storage as the Gateway will
‘discover’ and index these files on demand. Also note that no files are stored on the
Gateway. It does not replicate data, it indexes data about the files including location to
download.

Red Hat Ceph Storage can end up storing a lot of structured documents such as Word,
Powerpoint, Excel, and PDF files. As part of the Storage Made Easy solution a Cloud
Content Connector can be used that indexes data remotely stored on Red Hat Ceph
Storage so that file searches can be conducted on content.
