Using BrickStor SP as a secure NAS gateway to front Cloudian S3 object storage provides SMB and NFS write and read capability while enabling Cloudian storage to leverage BrickStor’s Cyberstorage capabilities.

In this data-centric zero trust architecture, BrickStor serves as a high-performance front end and uses its Transparent Data Movement (TDM) feature to create a placeholder, or stub file, on the local NAS (consisting of the metadata from each file) while moving the remaining data to the Cloudian object storage appliance.
