Egnyte, the file synchronization and sharing service (think of them as a private cloud version of Dropbox), has just announced new relationships with MSPs Quest, Cal Net Technology Group and SolutionWorx, to its MSP program. Egnyte has taken a hybrid approach that offers MSPs the difference between public and private cloud storage for customer data. This means the MSP can either use a public cloud service like Google Drive, or use their own infrastructure to store customer data.
“As the largest global desktops as a service provider, Egnyte’s enterprise file sharing solution enables us to provide our clients with a complete end-to-end collaboration solution,” said Tim Burke, CEO of Quest. “This partnership enhances our portfolio by providing the top-notch, flexible and secure cloud file management services our customers require.”
In light of the recent negative publicity surrounding U.S. government surveillance of public cloud vendors, companies like Egnyte, offering options to customers who do not want to risk public cloud, at least put the decision of what data should be public cloud versus private.
“We’re thrilled to have these latest partners join our market leading MSP program,” said Mort Jensen, Director of Channels at Egnyte. “Their market reach combined with Egnyte’s superior approach to file sharing enables customers to leverage investments already made in on-premise storage combined with the flexibility and capacity of the cloud all while providing users access to all files in the organization – not just the ones in a computer folder.”
