Matt Richard, VP of products for ownCloud, and his colleague, Diane Clary, director of product marketing, came by to discuss the data and file access problems enterprises face and a potential solution their company offers.
Providing local and remote access to corporate files has been both a logistics and security problem for quite some time. Enterprises have been seeking a way to allow access to their data files from anywhere, from just about any type of device and yet maintain control of that access and assure high levels of security.
The goal is giving IT administrators the tools to make sure that only authorized individuals have access to the data, regardless of whether it’s stored behind the enterprise firewall in SharePoint, VMware, Jive and so on; on a storage server; or on a server running Windows, Unix, Linux or some other OS.
