-Storage Made Easy provides a multi-cloud Secure Data Management solution that is deployed on-premises, is storage agnostic and can be used either with a single storage back-end or multiple public / private storage systems. In the event of the latter the File Fabric unifies the view across all access clients and implements common control and governance policies through the use of its cloud control features.\\ \\ The product is supplied as a software 'appliance' that is run inside of a hypervisor and consists of a pre-configured 'hardened' operating system (CentOS) and the File Fabric Application provided by Storage Made Easy.+

 +===== What does it provide ? =====
  
-The File Fabric can be provided as an OVF compliant image or as a VMWARE image. Both of these can work with ESXi, XEN, KVM or Hyper-V infrastructures.\\ \\ The purpose of providing the Appliance in a package manner is to simplify delivery and operation of the File Fabric Application. Deployment of an Appliance in this manner can also eliminate problems with installation and configuration such as software or driver issues. Users simply download a single file and run and configure the Application.+{{ :screenshot_2020-11-16_at_15.56.42.png?600 |}}\\

 +It is also important to note that the solution is non-propreitary and therefore supports bi-modal use directly to the storage solutions that have been mapped to the File Fabric. If content is added to storage directly the File Fabric's indexing service adds the new data to the File Fabric's metadata cache.
