Egnyte, the only provider of a complete suite of enterprise file
services built from the cloud down, today announced a native integration
with the EMC VNX product family, transforming VNX enterprise storage
into an enterprise file services platform. Egnyte’s unique hybrid -
cloud and on-premises - architecture combined with the power of VNX
enables businesses to support file-oriented use cases that demand high
performance and infinite storage capacity across multiple sites.
With Storage Sync for EMC VNX, companies can manage 100 percent of files
across the corporate data center, at remote offices and in the cloud,
all under a unified global namespace. With enhanced security controls
and a centralized view to manage all data, devices and users, IT can
cloud-enable existing VNX deployments to provide users with fast local
and secure remote access to files of any size and from any location or
device.
The VNX integration leverages EMC’s powerful Common Event Publishing
Agent (CEPA) API to implement bi-directional sync, maintaining the
high-performance envelope of the VNX product family. The easy and
intuitive installation takes minutes and eliminates any downtime for
customers by offering immediate remote access to data stored in VNX.
Egnyte is also designed to integrate with Active Directory, LDAP and SSO
to simplify policy management and maintain a central source for
defining and managing users, devices and files.
Egnyte’s file services solution offers:
- Enterprise file sync and share for internal and external collaborators
- Cross-site synchronization for remote office or branch office (RoBo) deployments
- Policy-based migration and sync of on-prem files to the cloud
- Business continuity in the event of a network outage or disaster
“Egnyte’s mission is to offer best-in-class integrations to enable
enterprises to effectively store and manage files on-premises, with
leading storage providers, and in the cloud. By integrating Egnyte with
EMC VNX, we’re able to offer unmatched performance to effectively
address the complex requirements of file services and storage access for
enterprises around the world,” said Vineet Jain, co-founder and CEO of
Egnyte.
