Egnyte announced today it will launch an enterprise application this week for the new iPad 2.0. The Egnyte Enterprise for iPad app is the only solution of its kind with enterprise class data security, 24/7 access to files and complete file server user management capabilities, including complete control on file access rights, file access audit information and version tracking.
“Enterprise adoption of the iPad is exploding. Companies are looking to make all critical information and application assets available via the iPad anywhere, anytime,” said Matt Murphy, partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers and manager of its iFund. “Egnyte’s storage solution has hit the market at exactly the right time to address critical needs around security, management, and simple data access.”
As many of you may not know, Egnyte recently closed a $10 million round of venture capital Series B financing led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers (KPCB) with additional support from previous investors Floodgate and Polaris.
Egnyte’s unique hybrid cloud technology combines the accessibility and flexibility of cloud storage with increased performance offered by local storage. By automatically detecting and synchronizing changes to files on either local devices or in the cloud, Egnyte ensures that users have reliable and fast access to the files they need wherever they are.
“iPads aren’t just cool, they’re a great tool to increase productivity across the enterprise, particularly with such a large percentage of workers taking on the position of mobile warriors,” said Vineet Jain, CEO of Egnyte. “What’s been deterring so many businesses from developing iPad strategies in the workplace are the security and connectivity issues. The Egnyte Enterprise for iPad app is the only solution designed for all user classes — administrators, employees and business partners.”
