Modernise File Access with a Global Cloud File Server
Replace aging on-premise file servers with AIZ Vault's globally distributed cloud infrastructure — giving your international teams fast, reliable, and secure file access from any location on earth.
Traditional on-premise file servers were built for a different era — one where teams sat in the same building, hardware was reliable enough, and geography was a fixed constraint. Today's multinational organisations operate across time zones, continents, and remote work environments that make physical infrastructure a liability rather than an asset.
AIZ Vault eliminates the physical limitations of legacy file servers by replacing them with a globally distributed cloud infrastructure designed for the way modern enterprises actually work. Your teams in London, Singapore, São Paulo, and Johannesburg all experience the same fast, consistent file access — without VPN bottlenecks, hardware refresh cycles, or single points of failure.
The Legacy Problem
Single-location hardware with geographic limitations
VPN-dependent remote access with latency issues
Manual maintenance, patching, and hardware refresh cycles
Disaster recovery dependent on costly redundant hardware
The AIZ Vault Difference
Globally distributed nodes with automatic regional routing
Native fast access from any location — no VPN required
Fully managed infrastructure with zero hardware overhead
Built-in multi-region redundancy and automated failover
The familiar experience your teams already know — mapped drives, folder hierarchies, granular permissions — is delivered intact through AIZ Vault's cloud layer. There is no retraining required. The infrastructure changes; the workflow does not.
Enterprise Cloud File Server Capabilities
AIZ Vault is engineered for the demands of enterprise IT — combining the reliability your teams expect with the global scale your organisation requires.
Globally Distributed Infrastructure
Multi-region redundancy with automatic failover ensures your file server remains available even if an entire regional data centre experiences an outage.
Regional Performance Nodes
Fast local access is delivered through strategically placed regional data centres worldwide, minimising latency regardless of where your workforce is located.
Seamless Environment Migration
Full compatibility with Windows Server, Linux, and NAS environments ensures a smooth transition with no loss of data structure, permissions, or operational continuity.
Unlimited Scalable Storage
Grow your storage footprint on demand — without procurement cycles, hardware investment, or capacity planning constraints that slow down enterprise expansion.
Identity & Access Integration
Native integration with Active Directory, LDAP, and SSO platforms means your existing identity infrastructure works seamlessly with AIZ Vault from day one.
99.9% Uptime SLA
A contractually backed service level agreement guarantees high availability across all global regions, giving procurement and operations teams a dependable baseline for business continuity planning.
Automated Backups & Recovery
Scheduled automated backups combined with point-in-time recovery give your organisation the ability to restore any file or folder state without manual intervention.
Centralised Administration
Manage users, permissions, storage policies, and audit logs for your entire global organisation from a single unified administrative dashboard — no per-region consoles required.
Native Drive Mapping
AIZ Vault mounts exactly like a traditional file server. Mapped drives work as expected across Windows and Linux endpoints, requiring zero changes to existing workflows or end-user behaviour.
Migrate from On-Premise to Cloud in Days
Transitioning away from on-premise infrastructure is often perceived as a complex, high-risk undertaking. AIZ Vault's dedicated migration specialists are designed to remove that burden entirely — managing the complete transition process with zero data loss, minimal downtime, and no disruption to day-to-day operations.
Our structured migration methodology has been refined across deployments in organisations of all sizes and sectors. Whether you are moving from a single Windows Server environment or consolidating multiple regional NAS devices into a unified global cloud file server, the process follows a proven five-stage framework that keeps your IT team in control at every step.
