The document compares the features of CentreStack and SME cloud storage solutions. Some key differences include: - CentreStack offers on-premise hosting while SME only supports hosting on IaaS platforms. - SME does not lock customers into the vendor like CentreStack does. - SME supports more third party protocols, operating systems, mobile devices and has additional file sharing, encryption, and governance features. - Both support multiple clouds, versions, and offer backup functions through desktop apps but SME provides more advanced collaboration, search and support options.
