Cbeyond: TotalCloud File Storage Service

To store business files with security

Cbeyond Inc. announced the availability of TotalCloud File Storage (TCFS), a secure and compliant cloud file storage, sharing and backup service for business media and data, which provides a secure collaboration platform for businesses.

Cbeyond will provided demo of TotalCloud File Storage during the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2014 in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington DC, on July 16, 2014.

The latest offering in Cbeyond’s TotalCloud suite of services, TCFS provides a simple, intuitive and affordable solution to store, share and access confidential files with security. Its unified, cloud-based storage for business data gives SMB employees and communities advantages previously only available to enterprises: real-time collaboration, file synchronization and backup in a secure manner, any time and from any device.

With TCFS files are sent and received via password-protected email links, eliminating the need to send bulky email attachments that might get tagged as spam or clog networks and inboxes. This functionality is bound to appeal to SMBs in particular given that 83% of SMB leaders voted security, productivity and collaboration software as important to their business, according to the Summer 2013 Cbeyond Business Leader Snapshot survey.

TotalCloud File Storage is designed to address the needs of today’s dynamic businesses as it lets teams work more collaboratively, remotely and securely,” said Drew Kimball, director of product management, cloud services, Cbeyond. “With easy scalability, customization tools and common-sense pricing, it can be invaluable for SMBs of any size that need reliable, anytime, anywhere access to business data and files.”

TotalCloud File Storage is available as two options – Essentials or Enterprise, depending on the size and needs of the business. These options include many features like Secure File Sharing, Bulk File Upload, File Synchronization, Email Integration, and Multi-Platform Support (including PC, Mac, Android and iOS).

TotalCloud File Storage provides the following advantages to SMBs
when compared to consumer-grade, commodity file storage services:

  • Security and Compliance. Administrators and users have the option to password-protect files and data at rest, encrypt files in transit, pull audit logs of user access and file activity, and set permission-based access, views and settings to personal or shared folders across workgroups or company-wide. Data is hosted on servers in Cbeyond’s compliance-friendly data center which has achieved audit standards, including HIPAA, PCI and SOC3.
  • Scalability and Availability. There is no limit on the number of users or storage capacity of the service, which is also backed by Cbeyond’s enterprise SLAs, thereby allowing users to scale in lock step with business needs.
  • Deployment Choice: For businesses or partners who need their own private environment, Cbeyond offers a single tenant or private cloud environment. This option is for large IT organizations and partners (such as MSPs and resellers) seeking to address advanced requirements like Active Directory Integration, Granular User Management, Policy Control, and Branding Support at lower capital and labor costs.

The evolving cloud market for SMBs requires a new partnering approach which represents exciting opportunities for both Cbeyond and Microsoft, as we explore a new model that targets and recruits more Microsoft partners more effectively,” said Chris Gatch, CTO, Cbeyond. “The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference is also a great venue for partners seeking to get a first look at new, highly scalable cloud-based services such as Cbeyond’s TotalCloud File Storage.”

Cbeyond is a 2009 Microsoft Partner of the Year, Hosting Solutions; a 2010 Microsoft Partner of the Year, Hyper ‘V’ Cloud; a 2012 Microsoft Partner, Gold Hosting; and a 2014 Microsoft Silver Hosting Partner.

On March 8, 2014 the company announced a new marketing alliance with Microsoft and introduced TotalCloud Partner Edition to provide SMBs with enterprise-grade Microsoft cloud OS technology.
