• Comprehensive Enterprise File Sync and Share Capabilities: Ensuring seamless collaboration within the organization and with external parties.
• Cyber-Resilient Storage: Including AI-based ransomware detection, malicious user blocking and rapid rollback.

• Scalability: Facilitating horizontal scaling to petabytes of data with central multi-tenant administration and an object-storage backend.
• Enhanced Security: Offering defense-grade protection and 100% behind-firewall deployment, meeting the needs of security-conscious customers.
• Integration with Hitachi Lumada Data Catalog: Empowering modern, data-driven enterprises to meet regulatory compliance requirements by cataloguing, categorizing and setting data management policy for distributed edge data.
