1 Overview Your business is built on the rapid exchange of information. Providing users with quick, easy access to the files they need, when they need them, is vital to driving a business forward. And so is protecting your company’s critical data. But files often reside on various storage systems, on premises and in the cloud, and are accessed through different applications and devices. This makes it difficult to consistently apply corporate controls and ensure fast, reliable, and secure content delivery. You need a single platform that can address all your different performance, compliance and security requirements. The solution should enable the right users to access the right information at the right time to maximize productivity, while minimizing data-leakage risks. You also need a solution that can integrate and support the appropriate storage tier (cloud, on premises or hybrid) to optimize IT investments and reduce costs. You need Egnyte! Egnyte Adaptive Enterprise File Services Egnyte delivers Adaptive Enterprise File Services that uniquely anticipate your needs, so you can easily, securely and intelligently optimize collaboration within your environment. With Egnyte’s open platform, you have unparalleled flexibility, unified visibility and centralized control over how files are accessed, shared and stored, inside and outside of your organization. Egnyte enables you to embrace external apps, allowing users to keep the services they are comfortable using, such as Office 365 and Google Apps, while adding the visibility and control you need to make them more secure. Unlike other Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS) providers that lock you into using only their proprietary, vertically-integrated solutions, Egnyte’s open architecture integrates with many cloud, storage, device and application environments to preserve your existing investments and future choices. Users want the same capabilities and convenience at work that they can get from popular consumer cloud applications. If IT does not deliver a functionality they need, they will often go around them and use consumer apps (Shadow IT) to get work done. Shadow IT creates blind spots within operations that make it practically impossible to protect the organization’s intellectual property. The problem is typically much worse than most IT departments realize. According to a recent survey, IT departments underestimate the number of non-sanctioned cloud applications used in their company by a factor of 10. With Egnyte Adaptive Enterprise File Services, you can provide users with the capabilities and convenience they want, while delivering the enterprise-grade visibility and controls you need.
