Overview of CentreStack

CentreStack is a managed file sync and share solution. It differentiates from other file sync and share solutions by focusing primarily on security, control and team collaboration. CentreStack does really well in the following areas:

  1. maintain Active Directory security and NTFS permission on files and folders

  2. provide on-demand access that honors read-only, and write permission in real-time

  3. mirror local network share to team collaboration in the cloud

Self-Hosted CentreStack

CentreStack is pure software that is built on top of the Microsoft Web Platform and is to be deployed on a Microsoft Server.

This option gives Managed Service Providers and Enterprise IT maximum control and flexibility on how they want to combine the traditional file server security, control and the ease of use from an internet-facing file sharing solution.

Hosted CentreStack

The same CentreStack software is already deployed and maintained in Amazon Web Services (EC2 + S3).

This option gives a Managed Service Provider the easiest on-ramp to a CentreStack solution without the hassle of setting up CentreStack themselves.
