-====== Appliance Simplification Options ======
-Storage Made Easy Cloud Control Gateway Appliance provides unique advantages for Corporate customers, Internet Service Providers (ISP's) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) that want to provide their own Enterprise File Share and Synchronization (EFSS) offering to their customers or staff.  \\ \\ As SME provides access to over 40 different backend storage solutions, it gives the flexibility they need to leverage their backend storage to provide a Cloud EFSS solution to their customers. Because SME provides branding opportunities, the MSP can deliver their own branded solution to their customer base or staff. Finally, because SME supports Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile, the MSP can give full BYOD support to their customers with secure anywhere, anytime, any device access to their data.  \\ \\ One of the major challenges with providing a feature rich multi-tenant solution is how to deliver simplicity while providing the right set of features your customer may need. The danger is always making a solution that is too simple and does not meet then needs of your customer. SME is implementing an approach that gives the control to the direct deployer of the service.   They can build different âpackagesâ ranging in simplicity and functionality to meet the broad requirements of all the different types of organizations serviced by the end user ISP / MSP or company.\\ \\ SME has introduced packaging technologies for the EFSS Cloud Control Gateway Appliance, as well as our Windows, Mac, and Mobile clients. The concept behind the packagers is to allow Administrators to choose from the broad range of features that SME provides and put them into packages that are appropriate for different types of customers.   \\ \\ This document will cover the simplicity options available.
