Anchor, a cloud software development company, announced a new multi-tenant cloud storage, file synchronization, and collaboration solution for managed service providers (MSPs): Anchor. The Anchor platform includes a centrally-administered dashboard, comprehensive usage reports, and granular user-access controls. Anchor promises to deliver the interface clients want, and the returns MSPs desire.
“Anchor determined what MSPs and clients demand from their cloud solution. For MSPs, it is ownership, efficiency and security. For their clients, it is accessibility, a fluid user-experience, and privacy” says Pierre Tapia, Anchor’s Vice President of Product. “The result: a product that is easily deployed, integrated, and used, with industry-leading security.”
Anchor allows MSPs to scale to thousands of users and to price the solution at their discretion. A smart alerting system, individual usage reports, and organizational reports provide MSPs with clear metrics. The platform is 100% brandable, with agent, web, and mobile applications that can be customized. It also integrates with professional services automation (PSA) tools, AutoTask and ConnectWise.
Anchor is the most efficient cloud storage solution to hit the channel, delivering universal file access with rapid syncing across stationary and mobile end-points. Users can manage file-sharing from internal and external parties, store data flexibly (NAS, on-site server, remote server etc.), and set granular access and security controls. Continuous, real-time backup, multiple folder backup (Documents, Desktop, Pictures, etc.), and revised file backup ensure that nothing is lost. Transitioning to the platform is made easy through its integration with Active Directory.
“Businesses are moving their data to the cloud.” says Vice President of Business Development, Bryan Forrester. “As they undertake this migration, Anchor provides an opportunity for secure management of that data by their trusted IT partner.” Anchor’s platform includes features such as encryption key management, remote wipes of end-points, and operates using 448-bit Blowfish encryption.
Anchor is available on Windows, Linux and OSX.
