Unfolding Notions to be Broken Series: Feature 1

By this Unfolding Series, I intend to benefit my SME readers and their admin managers. It is about breaking the notions and bring crystal clear clarity.

 

There is something we created specifically for SMEs to help them compete on global standards, protect their intellectual property, save software license costs, save huge on G-Suite subscription, and take on data theft challenges. The “notions to be broken” I am implying, are about our own Indian Technology, developed for our own Indian SMEs, known as BLACKbox.

 

SMEs, IT Vendors, IT Managers underestimate BLACKbox as a NAS Device like Netgear or a Microsoft Server or a Firewall like Sonicwall or Endpoint Security like Quickheal or Mail Vigilance System like postmaster. Such “Notions to be Broken” neglect the underlying technology powering BLACKbox.

 

In this series, we will take one single feature of BLACKbox and explain how it solves a serious problem, which otherwise cannot be solved by traditional solutions.

 

Today, we are taking Forced Centralization as a signature proprietary feature of BLACKbox, and we will see how necessary it is for Enterprises. We will also see a serious limitation of File Servers, NAS Devices, and Cloud Drives to achieve centralization.

 

 

Enterprises own digital assets in the form of data. It can be designs, drawings, cost sheets, documents, customer details, accounts data, formulations, MIS reports, foreign collaborated technology. This data is used (read scattered) on Server, Desktops, Laptops, Tablets, and Mobiles. Scattered-ness of data on multiple devices multiplies the risk of data loss and duplication. It complicates backup activities. Perfect centralization of data is essential to prevent data loss, maintain business continuity, facilitate collaboration, and simplify backup activities.

 

 

Most enterprises use File Servers or NAS Devices or Cloud Drives to centralize the data. Most IT managers instruct users to do the following.

 

 

This never happens perfectly. Here, users have a choice whether to save data on the server or NAS or cloud or keep it on their local storage. It is too democratic to be dependable.

 

 

There are serious possibilities as listed below.

 

Imagine a technology that acts as a server on cloud or on-premise and resides as an endpoint on desktop, laptop. Imagine you can define where each user can save data on central storage. For example, your design user working on certain projects can save data only on a certain location on central storage (on cloud or on a VPN on in LAN). Whenever the user opens a save dialog box on any software installed on his computer, he will be given liberty to save data on a predefined central location (on cloud or on VPN or in LAN) only. This will centralize all the data at a central location, simplify your backup activity, avoid duplication, and most importantly spares enterprise of the mercy of users who may or may not save data on central storage.

 

Yes, BLACKbox technology can enforce data centralization from desktops, laptops which File Servers, NAS and Cloud Storage can’t.

 

It can work as a superfast File Server, VPN Server, and Cloud Storage. It leaves no choice for the users to be able to save data at any place other than specified central storage or cloud storage.

 

This is one of the 50 discerning features of BLACKbox, which solves a genuine problem, breaks the notion about democratic centralization on File Servers, NAS, and Cloud Storage.

 

I will return with another “Notion to be Broken” next month.
