Abstract: A distributed object store in a network storage system uses location-independent global object identifiers (IDs) for stored data objects. The global object ID enables a data object to be seamlessly moved from one location to another without affecting clients of the storage system, i.e., “transparent migration”. The global object ID can be part of a multilevel object handle, which also can include a location ID indicating the specific location at which the data object is stored, and a policy ID identifying a set of data management policies associated with the data object. The policy ID may be associated with the data object by a client of the storage system, for example when the client creates the object, thus allowing “inline” policy management. An object location subsystem (OLS) can be used to locate an object when a client request does not contain a valid location ID for the object.

Abstract: A system and method for policy-based active Data Loss Prevention (DLP) using a two-step process to first determine if an attempt to access a data object is governed by DLP policy, and if so, then applying the DLP policy to either allow or deny access. Attempts by an agent to access, create, modify, or distribute a data object are trapped by a policy execution point. A first query determines if DLP policies govern that access request. If they do, then the metadata is decrypted to form a second query to a policy decision point to adjudicate the access request. If the access request is allowed, then a second key is provided to decrypt the data object for further processing. The system further provides for the encryption of unencrypted data objects to protect them for all future access queries.

Abstract: An Active Directory Bridge (AD Bridge) provides the ability to register, represent, and manage external network resources on an internal network using Group Policy Objects (GPOs). The AD bridge provides the ability to create GPOs in native Active Directory, where the settings are managed within the GPO and can be associated with Active Directory Organizational Units.

As GPOs are updated and deployed, the settings are detected and delivered to the cloud resource. When the cloud resource settings are changed outside of the GPO, the AD bridge monitors and reacts to any changes, making Group Policy the enforcement mechanism for the cloud resources.
