3.4.7 Multi-Server Support

Handling large amount of data and provisioning multiple enterprise users in a corporate
environment is a major task for any administrator. iFolder 3.7 simplifies these tasks with multi-
server configuration lets administrators provision many users and host large amount of data on your
iFolder domain. Your Admin can scale up the domain across servers to enterprise-level requirements
by adding multiple servers to a single domain. This allows you to leverage the under-utilized servers
in an iFolder domain.

3.4.8 Multi-Volume Support

One of the key features of iFolder is its storage scalability. With multi-volume support, Internet
service providers and enterprise data centers can manage large amounts of data above the file system
restrictions per volume. This facilitates moving data between the volumes, based on file size and
storage space availability.

3.4.9 Server Migration

iFolder 3.7 supports iFolder 2.x to iFolder 3.7 server migration. The server migration plug-in
bundled with iFolder 3.7 convert the iFolder 2.x data format to that of iFolder 3.7. Using OES 2 SP1
Migration tools, you can migrate the data from 2.x to iFolder 3.7 on OES 2 Linux SP1.

3.4.10 File Synchronization and Data Management

Your iFolder files are synchronized through the iFolder 3.7 server, where the iFolder administrator
can optionally back up the iFolder files from the server to backup media. Contact your administrator
if you need to recover a backup copy of a deleted or modified file.
