DAMCS offers a number of easy connectors for on prem and cloud as well as custom connections.

Below is and overview of standard connectors.

Standard connectors are easy to implement:

Data & More also supports SMB + Kerberos mounting:

Azure Files — yes, the strongest option. Three identity backends: on-prem AD DS, Microsoft Entra Domain Services, or Microsoft Entra Kerberos (no domain controller needed for hybrid identities). Mounts on Linux via mount -t cifs ... -o sec=krb5.

AWS FSx for Windows File Server — yes. Native SMB with Kerberos via AWS Managed Microsoft AD or your self-managed AD. Since 2026 there's even a reference architecture for authenticating with Entra ID identities cross-cloud.

AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP — yes, SMB shares with AD/Kerberos (also does NFS with Kerberos).

Google Cloud — Filestore is NFS-only, no SMB. For SMB+Kerberos on GCP you'd use NetApp Volumes (managed) or run your own Samba/Windows file server joined to Managed Microsoft AD.

Others: NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP (any cloud), Nasuni, CTERA, and Azure NetApp Files all do SMB with AD Kerberos. Plain object/blob storage (S3, Azure Blob, GCS) does not speak SMB natively — you'd front it with something like Azure File Sync, a NetApp/Nasuni gateway, or Rclone (which mounts but without Kerberos ACL semantics).

In addition to standard connectors Data & More also has an REST API for custom connectors.
