Storage Made Easy's Enterprise File Fabric™ is a secure content management and data collaboration solution that indexes and works with a company's existing on-premise or on-cloud storage silos, providing huge breadth given that over 60 storage platforms are supported. The solution does not provide storage. The File Fabric unites files in these disparate storage platforms to provide a single cohesive way for employees to securely work and collaborate across corporate data sets, while providing pre-configured security, governance, compliance and audit policies to the indexed data. The Enterprise File Fabric provides a vital tool for many businesses, and the importance of the product has been underscored throughout the Coronavirus pandemic as more business rely on remote working.

Earlier this year, Storage Made Easy also released a media and entertainment version of its product which has been very well received. This product introduced a transparent non-proprietary file transfer acceleration feature for large media assets that works across both on-premise and on-cloud storage. This new product, coupled with the strength of strategic partners and resellers, has helped the company accelerate growth over the last year.

John Dollin, Senior Media Operations Manager at Arsenal F.C said: "Working with the team at SME has been a great experience and the product does exactly what it says on the tin, it makes it easy. In an ever changing and more demanding media landscape we, as a media team, need to adapt quickly to new requirements and as a result, require tools and services that are flexible and easy to configure. The File Fabric has already proven its worth and with its simple API, it was easy to integrate into our facility."

Storage Made Easy is proud to support many blue-chip enterprise customers across a range of industries including retail, banking and finance, healthcare, and government.

Anatol Blass, Senior Vice President of IT & Scientific Computing at Sema4, the Patient-Centered Health Intelligence Company, said, "Storage Made Easy's File Fabric software is an important component of our IT infrastructure at Sema4. We appreciate the continued support from Storage Made Easy, which has been particularly helpful over recent months as we've rapidly built out a COVID-19 testing solution."

Storage Made Easy also has a strategic partnership with object storage vendor Cloudian, who resells the product alongside its Cloudian Hyperstore product.

Jon Toor, Cloudian CMO said, "The combination of Cloudian's S3-compatible object storage systems and the Storage Made Easy File Fabric is a strong proposition for strategic object use cases which require end user access. This is particularly true in the current environment with more workers requiring remote access to sensitive enterprise data."

Jim Liddle, CEO of Storage Made Easy said, "We are delighted to have the continued support of Moore Strategic Ventures as an institutional investor given its demonstrated track record of success with other market-leading, high-growth software companies. With the dramatic increase in remote working, and Moore Strategic Ventures' support, I am confident that Storage Made Easy will be even better positioned to meet customer's needs with its unique solutions and for sustainable growth."

Hodge hits 140 as West Indies build lead over Bangladesh

SYLHET, Bangladesh — Kavem Hodge hit an unbeaten 140 to extend West Indies' lead to 315 on the fourth day of the second Test against Bangladesh in Sylhet on Sunday. West Indies reached 345-3 in their second innings when bad light halted play, with Hodge hitting 17 fours and a six off 189 balls and Amir Jangoo also unbeaten on 20. Hodge, who scored his third Test century and passed his previous highest score, was backed by opener Brandon King, who made 61, and debutant Kevin Wickham, who scored 78 for his second half-century of the match. West Indies resumed the day on 7-0, trailing by 23 runs. King and Joshua Da Silva put on 85 for the opening wicket, before Taijul Islam trapped Da Silva lbw for 36. King continued to attack, reaching his half-century off 62 balls. He was dropped by Towhid Hridoy on 56 off Taijul before Mehidy Hasan Miraz dismissed him for 61 off 84 balls, caught by Najmul Hossain Shanto at first slip. West Indies went to lunch on 128-2, with Hodge and Wickham at the crease and their lead at 98. - 'Chaseable' - Hodge reached his half-century off 78 balls, while Wickham needed 68 deliveries to bring up his second fifty of the match. The pair took West Indies to tea at 259-2, with their lead extended to 229. Hodge completed his century after the break, reaching the milestone off 142 balls with 11 fours and a six. Hodge said he was pleased to contribute after failing to convert a start in the first Test in Dhaka, adding that the West Indies would assess conditions before deciding when to declare. "It's always nice to contribute to the team," he said. "We just have to come tomorrow and assess... play it by ear and keep going moment by moment." Taijul broke their 165-run partnership, dismissing Wickham for a career-best 78 off 107 balls after he chipped the ball back to the bowler. West Indies were 284-3 when Wickham departed. Bangladesh missed another chance to remove Hodge when captain Shanto dropped him off Nayeem Hasan on 117. Jangoo, who scored a century in the first innings, joined Hodge and helped push the West Indies lead beyond 300. Hridoy was confident Bangladesh had a strong chance on the final day, saying the pitch remained good for batting. "If we can get a good start, 350 is chaseable, in my opinion," he said. "But as I said, the start is very important."
