ownCloud, Inc. unveiled its hybrid cloud enterprise file sync and share (EFSS) model allowing customers to choose their cloud storage service, and still deliver on-premise security and control.
While existing hybrid models leave the control plane in the public cloud, making files more susceptible to hackers and government agencies, ownCloud’s new hybrid model is the first to allow IT administrators to use the storage of their choice, and still manage the control plane, including encryption keys, on-premise. As a result, users experience the collaboration benefits of cloud-based file sharing with the security, control and integration of an onsite solution. Theoption for this deployment model is a part of ownCloud 8.2, the latest version of the company’s EFSS solution.
