Business Edition Features

 

Syncplicity Business Edition provides easy-to-use online file management for businesses, combining intuitive native support of both PCs and Macs for users, and unique centralized management for IT. Features include:

 

Instant Sync between any data source with inclusion and exclusion

Administrators and users can set up any folder and file to synchronize between computers. Any file, file type, or folder, including sub-folders, can be included or excluded from sync.  Synced folders can be stored in any location.  Client sync speed can be modified, synced folders managed, and status displayed.  

 

Real Time Back-Up with Full File Versioning and Audit Trail

Every file is continuously versioned in real-time to ensure every file is fully protected, so users don’t need to be on the corporate network for their data to be protected.  Every time a file is created, changed, or deleted, the file is immediately versioned. Each version is tracked to indicate what modification took place, when the change occurred, and, for collaboration scenarios, who performed the action. An unlimited number of previous versions and deleted files can be retained with the Business Edition account.

 

Native integration with Windows and Mac means unprecedented ease of use

Unlike many other solutions that require users to change their behavior or move their files to a new place, Business Edition is a drop-in solution which allows users to work with their existing file hierarchies. Users work in the same environments they have now to access, share, collaborate and backup effortlessly, using the same files, programs and file hierarchy they use today.

 

No Rip and Replace: Works with Existing Infrastructure

Business Edition allows companies with significant existing infrastructure to deliver a hybrid cloud experience by cloud-enabling their existing infrastructure such as File Servers and SharePoint so users can continue to use the systems they're used to while gaining the benefits of the cloud. Companies that wish to migrate to a 100% cloud environment can do so on their own schedule.

 

Instant restore of any previous file or file version by a user or remotely by an IT Admin

Any deleted file or previous file version is downloadable or can be instantly retrieved or reverted in-place by either the end-user or helpdesk IT.  If a computer is lost or crashes, instant recovery is simple: after the client is installed on a new computer, it can instantly begin to restore all backed up files to their original locations.  This instant restore capability is a key benefit over other backup solutions that move customer data to cheap offline or near-line storage, making instant data restoration impossible.  

 

Google Apps Integration with Single Sign-On and comprehensive Google Docs support

With Business Edition’s Google Apps and Google Docs integration, businesses have a way to integrate Google’s cloud applications with their existing rich desktop applications such as Microsoft Office. Users are able to open and edit files without having to manually manage files between Google Docs or in a desktop application. With Single Sign-On with Google Apps, business customers logged into their Google Apps account can seamlessly access their Syncplicity account through a Google Apps UI widget and without needing to reauthenticate. Business Edition also eliminates many of the limitations around Google Apps such as providing offline access to Google Docs files and supporting files and storage in excess of the Google Apps file and storage limits.

 

Policy-Controlled Multi-User Sharing and Collaboration

Business Edition’s sharing and collaboration makes easy for users to easily share and collaborate with others, both inside and outside of the firewall, while Business Edition’s policy controls ensure IT can manage the flow of files to ensure compliance with corporate policy.

 

For basic sharing, shared files allow anonymous, read-only sharing secured by a URL that can be easily sent to others. For more advanced sharing and collaboration, any folder can be instantly created and shared across multiple users with per-user permissions. Administrators can set policies on sharing to enforce corporate data policies and can monitor sharing within the company to ensure compliance.

 

News Feed

The News Feed enables users to view all file activity that has occurred within their account and filter the information so they are presented with only the events they are interested in. In addition to the web site and mobile apps, the News Feed is also available via RSS and API for integration with 3rd party applications.

 

Secure Mobile Applications

Syncplicity mobile apps provide a beautiful, 100% native user interface optimized for iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets (including the Amazon Kindle Fire) with end-to-end security. All data transmitted and stored on a mobile device is encrypted with AES-256 protection. A PIN code can be required for app access. Remote wipe can be performed by a user or an administrator to permanently destroy information on lost or stolen devices. 

 

Anywhere Access to files via website, cloud applications, and mobile device

Business Edition ensures users always have access to their files, even if they don’t have access to their computer. Files can be accessed through a web file browser from any browser and a mobile optimized site. Business Edition also allows users to view and edit their files online with just a web browser through integration with cloud applications such as Zoho, Scribd, and Google Docs.

 

Central User Creation and Management with Pre-Configuration, and Reporting

Business Edition’s Central User Administration enables IT Administrators to streamline management of multiple user accounts and to ensure these accounts conform to IT policy. User accounts can be bulk provisioned and pre-configured to establish default folders to be backed up and folders they have access to. Through policy controls, pre-configuration options can be set to take effect without user intervention. IT Admins can gain insight into user activity, utilization, and data flows to find out files are being protected what and where data is being shared.

 

Remote Help Desk

Remote Help Desk ensures that an IT help desk is able to fully support their users. All major actions which a user can perform, IT helpdesk can also perform on their behalf. Designed to enable quick and easy resolution for cases, even in cases where support personnel don’t have direct access to a user’s machine or screen, administrators can perform actions such as viewing user configuration and performing actions such as remote restore, setting account specific configuration, or helping a user manage their shares. Help desk can also train a user to self-help by using the website impersonation to view the online user account the user sees, enabling support to remotely walk users through actions over the phone.

 

Enterprise Level Security

Business Edition provides a highly secure, available, and dependable file management system. Secure from the ground-up, the highest levels of military grade AES-256 and 256bit SSL encryption are used to protect all customer data during transmission and at rest along with strong defense-in-depth such as maintaining encryption keys in a separate data center from encrypted data to keep the digital keys away from the vault. In addition, all data centers used by Syncplicity are SAS70 Type II/SSAE-16 certified and are DoD 5220.22-M (“National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual”) or NIST 800-88 compliant. All data within stored within Syncplicity Business Edition are stored in quadruplicate across multiple geographically separate data centers to ensure the highest levels of robustness and dependability.

 

Remote Wipe

To remove files and folders from unauthorized or deauthorized places, Business Edition provides IT and users the ability to remote wipe at per-user, per-device, and per-folder levels.

 

Federated Single Sign-On Authentication with Existing Credentials such as Active Directory Accounts

Business Edition supports federated authentication via the industry standard protocols of SAML and OpenID. Businesses which wish to leverage their existing accounts and credentials, such as those within Active Directory and LDAP, can have their users log-in via their existing user names and passwords without needing to create yet another account to be managed on a separate service. This integration allows IT to continue to control password policies while also supporting advanced authentication scenarios such as two-factor authentication.

 

Customizable Subdomain

Administrators can create a custom subdomain for their company, such as MyCompany.syncplicity.com for branding purposes and to create an automatic SSO login experience that users leveraging Intranet sites are familiar with for SSO enabled accounts.

 

 

Instant Sync between any data source with inclusion and exclusion

Administrators and users can set up any folder and file to synchronize between computers. Any file, file type, or folder, including sub-folders, can be included or excluded from sync.  Synced folders can be stored in any location.  Client sync speed can be modified, synced folders managed, and status displayed.
