Intermedia Adds New Backup Features to SecuriSync
Leading cloud communications providers know that the needs of today's enterprises extend beyond basic voice services. In order to stay competitive and to be able to engage workers and clients, enterprises need access to various communication tools and business applications that can help enhance worker productivity and customer satisfaction. One critical tool many businesses require is a secure and reliable file management solution, like SecuriSync by Intermedia. And recently, the leading provider of essential cloud IT apps and services for businesses launched new backup and file management capabilities for SecuriSync, their innovative file backup and sync-and-share product.
Sharing and Collaboration Made Easy
Available as part of Intermedia’s Office in the Cloud (a comprehensive suite of over 30 services offered by a single provider, allowing for a worry-free experience), as a standalone service, or as a backup and an enhancement to Office 365, SecuriSync offers businesses a single tool for using, managing and securing user files. And thus, this eliminates the hassles and vulnerabilities of traditional backup solutions. To extend the platform’s capabilities further, Intermedia has enhanced the platform to include real-time backup functionality for popular desktop folders, along with mobile access, sharing and collaboration, and administrative control.
Bojan Dusevic, Senior Director of Product Management at Intermedia, had this to say about their latest update:
“Based on customer and partner feedback, we’ve extended SecuriSync’s real-time backup functionality to cover even more folders, including Music, Videos, Pictures, and Downloads.” “No more accepting versioning gaps, or sitting idle waiting for backup restores. Now users have automated protection for their content across the most popular places to store files,” Dusevic added.
With the added features, SecuriSync now offers the following to its users:
- Real-time backup for more folders - The platform can now backup all PC files in real time. These include Desktop and My Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, and Downloads folders.
- Mobile gallery backup - Photos and videos are automatically uploaded to Android and iOS devices.
- Enhanced policy management - The platform now allows administrators to determine if a desktop is Corporate or Personal. Different rules for each profile can also be set remotely to easily manage end user compliance with corporate backup policies.
- Improved troubleshooting - From the desktop client, users can quickly view FAQs along with helpful tips and instructions for easy troubleshooting.
- Sharing and collaboration - SecuriSync allows users to simply and securely share files and other documents with people inside or outside (ie. business partners, vendors, and other external parties) the company, improving collaboration. It also features flexible sharing permissions as well as co-editing in real-time.
- Integrations - To maximize functionality, SecuriSync can be integrated with many different applications and platforms, such as Mac and Windows, Microsoft Exchange, Outlook and Office Online.
