FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Resilio for Global File Systems
What is a global file system?
A global file system (GFS) gives geographically distributed users unified, high-performance access to the same files across multiple storage systems and locations. Resilio Active Everywhere builds one as a software layer on top of your existing storage, using a modern, mesh-based architecture (peer-to-peer protocol) and local caching to deliver low-latency access from any site, without migrating data into a single central repository.
How does Resilio improve file access across distributed locations?
Resilio synchronizes data directly between devices and serves it from intelligent local caches, eliminating the hub-and-spoke bottleneck of traditional centralized file systems. Its UDP-optimized peer-to-peer protocol transfers only changed file segments, so teams get fast, local-feeling access from any location, regardless of distance or network conditions.
Can Resilio work with our existing storage and infrastructure?
Yes. Resilio Active Everywhere is a software layer that runs on top of the storage and servers you already own; no specialized hardware, no lift-and-shift. This lets you deploy a global file system in days rather than months and scale it out by adding endpoints, without the cost or risk of a data migration.
Does Resilio preserve native file and object formats?
Yes. Resilio integrates with your existing storage while preserving native file and object formats, including metadata, so files stay compatible with cloud-native applications and any cloud configuration. Nothing is rewritten into a proprietary format, which keeps your data portable across on-premises systems and AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
How does Resilio support Windows Server environments?
Resilio fully integrates with Windows Server infrastructure, including Active Directory (AD) and NTFS permissions, so existing access controls and workflows carry over unchanged. It also runs cross-platform across Windows, macOS, and Linux, keeping file access and permissions consistent for teams working in mixed-OS environments.
How does Resilio help teams collaborate on shared files?
Resilio syncs files directly to Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops and enforces file locking, so distributed users always work from the current version and never create conflicting copies. Local caching lets people keep working with full file access even when offline, with changes synchronized automatically once a connection is restored.
How does Resilio secure global file system data?
Resilio encrypts all data in transit with AES-256 and verifies every transfer with checksums to prevent corruption. Access is controlled through cryptographic keys rather than exposed credentials, and its peer-to-peer architecture eliminates single points of failure, keeping file data secure and available across all sites without relying on VPNs.
How quickly can teams deploy Resilio for global file operations?
Most organizations are running in days, not months. Because Resilio installs as a lightweight agent on existing storage and servers, there are no infrastructure upgrades, lift-and-shift projects, or data migrations to schedule. New sites and cloud regions join an existing topology with minimal configuration, so the system scales as you grow.
