The proliferation of new technologies is reshaping the IT infrastructure today; however the dependence on IT makes cyber-threats a major concern. As a result, enterprises are moving toward advanced modes of security solutions and bringing extended gamut of sophisticated threat controls. Companies are now leveraging multiple mitigation mechanisms to uncover vulnerabilities, identify threats, and neutralize them by providing proactive security that defends the key assets and bottom line of the enterprises. "When you look at a platform, file sharing is just a part of it. There are other business problems that an enterprise needs to solve via a hybrid approach," says Vineet Jain, co-founder and CEO, Egnyte. "Egnyte has built a robust suite of file services with security and data protection at its core."

One Solution, Three Deployment Models

Egnyte, headquartered in Mountain View, CA, addresses this issue by providing Adaptive Enterprise File Services that optimize file sharing environments through unparallel secure access, centralized control, and unified visibility. "Since we founded Egnyte, our team has focused on delivering enterprise file-sharing services to best meet the needs of both IT and business users across industries," says Jain. Ensuring data security and business continuity, Egnyte initiates one solution with three deployment models namely: Cloud, On-premise or Hybrid. The flexible architecture offered by Egnyte permits administrators and developers to select any combination out of the three models to set the pace for enterprise security and elegantly solve the most pressing security challenges.
