broadly presented by e-compliance.,
privacy, consumer protection,
Intellectual Property, and content
governance.
As well as being available as a SaaS

Hybrid Cloud File Server Overview
Cloud Computing is maturing fast. More and more applications and data are being
built for the cloud, in the cloud, and being moved onto the cloud.
No-one can benet from this more than small. corporate and enterprise
businesses. Cloud Computing enables access to applications on a rental basis that
may not have been affordable previously. It also allows the ability to centralize IT
functions that are currently costly and difcult to manage.
The File Server has long been a staple part of any ofce. However as Cloud Apps
such as Google Apps, Amazon S3, Salesforce, BaseCamp, Ofce 365, EMC Atmos
etc., become more common across companies, then centralizing le access and
control becomes more and more difcult. This is why we designed the Cloud File
Server, to solve the challenge of information aggregation, management, and control
of all of a companies Information Clouds, from a single unique view.
The Cloud File Server is available as an online SaaS service with desktop and
mobile access clients, or it is available as a hybrid Cloud Application that can be
installed on-premise as a virtual appliance in which VMWARE, XEN, Hyper-V and
KVM Appliance formats are supported. The hybrid Cloud application enables
companies to expose internal les at the same time as integrating Cloud les and
SaaS Applications whilst enabling governance and control across all data sources.
