Egnyte Calls Apple’s iPhone for Mobile,
On-Demand File Server Access
iPhone Users Enjoy Office On-The-Go with Secure, Mobile Access
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 13, 2008 --
Egnyte, a provider of on-demand file server solutions, announced today
the launch of Egnyte 2.0 featuring a mobile drive (m Drive), through an
integration with Apple’s iPhone, a new user
interface and faster access to files. Busy, on-the-go professionals will
have secure, web-based access to their entire business network with
Egnyte and iPhone. The iPhone integration does not require purchase or
download of any additional application. Egnyte provides the only
integrated service for small businesses, bringing together online
file storage, file
sharing software and continuous backup in one solution.
“The rise of the distributed, mobile workforce
creates a greater need for business-class server solutions that are
hosted on the cloud. With the shift toward a virtual office, small
businesses and professionals need services that work from any location,”
said Vineet K. Jain, CEO of Egnyte. “In
particular, for a growing number of professionals, the iPhone functions
as their primary Internet access point. With Egnyte 2.0, iPhone users
have secure and immediate access to all their files no matter where they
are.”
The Egnyte 2.0 m Drive provides iPhone users secure access to all files
stored on Egnyte — delivering full access to a
user’s PC or Mac-based network. There is no
application to buy or install. Using the iPhone browser, small
businesses and professionals can easily navigate folder hierarchies and
open files using the touch screen.
The iPhone integration provides a number of options for file sharing and document
collaboration.
-
Share folders. Grant colleagues or clients access to designated
folders within your Egnyte file server. The Egnyte system
automatically sends an invitation email with access information. This
enables quick collaboration on-the-go.
-
Share files. Rather than emailing large files, share the file
using the iPhone by simply emailing a link to the file. There is an
option of setting an expiration time on the link for additional
security. The recipient clicks on the link to download the file
without having to log into Egnyte.
-
Send attachments. Email files from Egnyte as email attachments.
-
Version control. If multiple versions of a file exist on the
server, Egnyte enables the review of older versions of the files as
well as any comments associated with a file.
“Egnyte's iPhone interface is fantastic for
our business,” said Max Gardner, manager,
StrateGen Consulting. “Our team now has
access to all of our critical files wherever we are. Before we would
have to power up a laptop, if it was available, to get immediate answers
or share files with a client. Now, we can quickly pull up and share
files in just a few taps wherever we are. The immediacy and convenience
are great.”
Egnyte provides secure and ubiquitous access to files without the
security risk of having the files stored on a single computer. The cloud
based Egnyte File
Server ensures that no one can gain unauthorized access to data.
Because the files reside on the virtual drive, if a computer is lost or
stolen the data remains secure. Egnyte 2.0 includes a number of
additional features including:
-
Improved User Interface — New,
powerful configuration capabilities allow users to set their viewing
options such as field widths, field positions and sorting criteria
easily.
-
Enhanced Backup Capabilities ensure critical data is safe and
secure through improved controls such as bandwidth throttling, file
type exclusions and scheduling.
-
Faster Performance — improved
caching in the application tier gives users even faster access to the
data they need and reduces latency for overseas connections.
