What We Do
The Cloud NAS
LucidLink has reimagined the file system built for the cloud to provide a truly innovative alternative to today’s prevailing architectures. Engineered for enterprises seeking a scalable, reliable file service with best-in-class security and zero operational overhead, LucidLink revolutionizes the use of object storage for modern cloud-computing environments by transforming the cloud into a local storage tier.
LucidLink Filespaces cloud-native NAS solution is ideal for organizations that would like to take advantage of cloud storage economics and utilize it for applications, file systems, and high-performance workloads. Built-in software, running on the endpoint, delivered as SaaS, with no middleware and no appliance, virtual or physical. LucidLink leverages cloud-based storage with the functionality you expect from an on-premises hardware NAS – only better.
A Filespace is a shared global namespace that acts like any other high-performance network-attached storage (NAS) even though the data is hosted in the cloud. Designed to address the business needs around storing large data sets on and off-premise and accessing them over distance, distributed teams get secure, on-demand access to digital assets, and can collaborate on files, in the cloud, from anywhere.
LucidLink’s SaaS approach improves scalability, reliability, and data durability while enhancing team collaboration and productivity. Customers benefit from time, cost savings, tighter control over data storage, security, and device and sovereignty mandates.
