Basic Information

FSM – Windows File Share Manager (self service)

FSM (File Share Manager) is a web application, installed in the customer’s IT environment, supporting the management of network folders on Microsoft Windows servers (the so-called network shares), designed for medium-sized and large enterprises with their own file servers. All functions of the FSM application are accessible from a web browser (IE8, IE9, IE10 and IE11, Chrome and Firefox). User authentication is done with Active Directory.

The first and most visible effect of the deployment of FSM is a radical relieving of the burden on IT departments through the introduction of self-service and workflow mechanisms, which allow delegating the handling of network folders to the interested parties themselves, i. e. the users using them on a daily basis.

The most important and long-term effect of the deployment of FSM is an organized access to information resources and a standardised policy of granting permissions while maintaining full control and record of introduced changes.

Application description

With FSM, any employee can add, modify or delete network folders stored on file servers using a WWW interface. Changing network folder parameters requires the approval of the person assigned the role of an FSM administrator. You can set a disk quota for the network folder on the disk.

Network folder management (file share management), e. g., creating a new network folder, changing access permissions, setting quotas, etc. This is done in a fully automatic or semi-automatic mode with minimum administrator involvement. Users formulate all parameters of the network folder themselves and submit a change request for acceptance, and the administrator can approve or reject any such request with a single click.

Application screenshots

Below are some examples of FSM screenshots. It is possible to test the application “live” using a demo platform, without having to install the software in the customer’s IT infrastructure. If you are interested, please contact us directly at the following e-mail address: [email protected]
