Cbeyond Launches TotalCloud(R) File Storage Service at Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2014
July 14 2014 - 9:00AM
Cbeyond Inc (Nasdaq:CBEY), the Technology Ally™ for small and
mid-sized businesses (SMBs), announced today the availability of
TotalCloud® File Storage, a secure and compliant cloud file
storage, sharing and backup service for business media and data,
which provides a simple and secure collaboration platform for
businesses of all sizes.
Cbeyond will provide demos of TotalCloud File Storage during the
Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2014 at Booth
1807 in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center,
Washington D.C., Sunday, July 13 – Wednesday, July 16, 2014.
The latest offering in Cbeyond's TotalCloud suite of services,
TotalCloud File Storage (TCFS) provides a simple, intuitive and
affordable solution to store, share and access confidential files
with top-level security. Its unified, cloud-based storage for
business data gives SMB employees and communities advantages
previously only available to enterprises: real-time collaboration,
file synchronization and backup in an easy and secure manner, any
time and from any device.
With TCFS files are sent and received via password-protected
email links, eliminating the need to send bulky email attachments
that might get tagged as spam or clog networks and inboxes. This
functionality is bound to appeal to SMBs in particular given that
83 percent of SMB leaders voted security, productivity and
collaboration software as important to their business, according to
the Summer 2013 Cbeyond Business Leader Snapshot™
survey.
"TotalCloud File Storage is designed to address the needs of
today's dynamic businesses as it lets teams work more
collaboratively, remotely and securely," said Drew Kimball,
director of product management, Cloud Services, Cbeyond. "With easy
scalability, customization tools and common-sense pricing, it can
be invaluable for SMBs of any size that need reliable, anytime,
anywhere access to business data and files."
TotalCloud File Storage is available as two options - Essentials
or Enterprise, depending on the size and needs of the business.
These options include many easy-to-use features like Secure File
Sharing, Bulk File Upload, File Synchronization, Email Integration,
and Multi-Platform Support (including PC, Mac, Android and iOS). In
addition, TotalCloud File Storage provides the following unique
advantages to SMBs when compared to consumer-grade, commodity file
storage services:
- Security and Compliance. Administrators and
users have the option to password-protect files and data at rest,
encrypt files in transit, pull audit logs of user access and file
activity, and set permission-based access, views and settings to
personal or shared folders across workgroups or company-wide. Data
is hosted on servers in Cbeyond's compliance-friendly data center
which has achieved the most rigorous audit standards in the
industry, including HIPAA, PCI and SOC3.
- Scalability and Availability. There is no
limit on the number of users or storage capacity of the service,
which is also backed by Cbeyond's enterprise Service Level
Agreements (SLAs), thereby allowing users to scale easily in lock
step with business needs.
- Deployment Choice: For businesses or partners
who need their own private environment, Cbeyond offers a flexible
single tenant or private cloud environment. This option is ideal
for large IT organizations and partners (such as Managed Service
Providers and Resellers) seeking to address advanced requirements
like Active Directory Integration, Granular User Management, Policy
Control, and Branding Support at much lower capital and labor
costs.
"The evolving Cloud market for SMBs requires a new partnering
approach which represents exciting opportunities for both Cbeyond
and Microsoft, as we explore a new model that targets and recruits
more Microsoft partners more effectively," said Chris Gatch, CTO of
Cbeyond. "The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference is also a
great venue for partners seeking to get a first look at new, highly
scalable cloud-based services such as Cbeyond's TotalCloud File
Storage."
Cbeyond executives and partners will participate in the
following panels at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference:
- Tuesday, July 15, 2:30 PM – Channel Testimonial – Rob
Kent, senior director, Segment Marketing, Cbeyond, and Nelson
Brown, president and CEO, Omni Business Solutions.
