Integration of Scality Cloud Storage With TeamDrive

Scality and synchronization and collaboration specialist TeamDrive Systems GmbH announced the integration of Scality’s cloud storage with TeamDrive’s secure synchronization and collaboration solution.

The result, a file-sharing and synchronization solution for private clouds, is aimed squarely at customers that want to provide a high degree of collaboration functionality and mobility, while also maintaining security of data by encrypting data transfer and keeping it on their own infrastructure.

"Today’s agile enterprise needs to find ways to enable its people to share documents easily, which is a real challenge to do securely. While there are public cloud offerings for sharing, many enterprises are required to maintain total control of their data and keep it from leaving their network – no matter how secure that public cloud appears to be. The service offered by Scality and TeamDrive delivers a secure, cost-efficient and user-friendly alternative," said Jérôme Lecat, Scality’s CEO.

"As a result of the Scality integration, we can offer our customers greater options for storage with the TeamDrive cloud and Enterprise Hosting environment," said Volker Oboda, TeamDrive CEO. "The Scality option provides globally cost-effective storage including high performance, robust data protection, high availability, and scalability. And, since Scality storage can be located on-premises or in Scality-powered public clouds, deployment options are flexible, in line with the TeamDrive offering."

In the solution, Scality contributes its scalable, storage capabilities, while TeamDrive’s built-in encryption technology ensures each user maintains control over his/her documents.

The solution benefits from the highest standards of security. TeamDrive’s hosting services have been awarded the Seal of Privacy‚ for its solutions by Germany’s Data Protection Commissioner’s Office (the ULD).

The new Scality TeamDrive solution was demonstrated at the SNW – Powering the Cloud event in Frankfurt, Germany.
