# Dell ClarityNow (DataIQ) With Wasabi

[Dell's ClarityNow](https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000129711/dell-dataiq-info-hub) (now DataIQ) is validated for use with Wasabi. The ClarityNow data management software enables the process of data discovery, management, and movement for enterprises with large, unstructured data sets located in various storage technologies (including Wasabi's object based storage).

## Requirements

- Active Wasabi account
- ClarityNow is installed and running
- The S3 scanning functionality requires an aws-sdk package (*aws-sdk-1.11.221-0.x86_64.rpm*) to

Below are the steps to connect ClarityNow with your Wasabi account.

1. Before you run the ClarityNow daemon, install the **aws sdk** package.

```plaintext
rpm -ivh aws-sdk-1.11.221-0.x86_64
```
2. Store your Wasabi account credentials (access-key and secret access-key) in the credentials file.

```plaintext
mkdir .aws
cd .aws
vi credentials
```
3. Enter your keys, as shown in the example below. **Save** and **close** the file.

```plaintext
[wasabi]
aws_access_key_id=<******your access key*******>
aws_secret_access_key=<*****your secret-key*******>
```
4. Run the ClarityNow service.

```plaintext
systemctl start claritynow
```
5. We will use the GUI to add the rest of the configuration. Log in to the GUI of your ClarityNow server. Click **Server** and click **S3 API Endpoints**, as shown below.
