Multiple Access-Zone and Tenant Isolation Support

File Access Manager offers tenant isolation and full capabilities for multiple access-zones on Isilon Clusters. With the addition of the activity monitoring and permissions collection capabilities for multiple access-zones within an Isilon cluster and removing the dependency on the administrative (system)-zone-based OneFS API, each access zone within the cluster functions as an independent Isilon application within File Access Manager, with the complete set of File Access Manager capabilities.

This mode of access requires knowledge, connectivity and access rights of and to the managed access zone. This allows for a complete delegation of the configuration, administration and monitoring of an Isilon access zone to the tenant owner, and does not require centralized management. Tenant Isolation and management is critically valuable in multi-tenant hosted environments, where such isolation enhances data privacy and autonomous management.

The access zone and management API (optional) settings can be configured through the application configuration wizards.

With full tenant isolation, and full capability support for multiple access zones on the Isilon cluster, each access zone is treated as a separate entity.
