IceWEB Open Doors to Apple iPhone Clients

IceWEB, Inc. is preparing to release a solution which provides direct connectivity for Apple iPhone and iPod touch devices to the Company’s Iplicity Consolidated Storage Environment.

Gary Dunham, SVP of Product Development & Engineering for IceWEB stated: "Data is of little use unless it can be as available and as mobile as its users. Iplicity, our innovative storage environment, innovative because it supports all major data access protocol suites, has proven itself in meeting this need for data mobility. There are millions of iPhone, iPod Touch, and (soon to be) Apple iPad users worldwide. These users come from all walks of life, but in general are business people who rely heavily on these revolutionary devices to keep them connected to their employers, customers, friends and family. The new solution, which will be available shortly, gives full remote access from those devices to any data stored on the Iplicity family of storage products. Remote users can open, download, upload and create files and folders across both WiFi and 3G networks on our storage servers."   

Dunham continued: "Closed, or wired-only storage systems, as offered by many legacy vendors, are a relic of the past. Business today demands that company employees be able to meet customer requests from wherever they are. Having to tell your customer that you’ll send them a file once you get back to the office can often make the difference between closing a deal or not. Intelligence + Simplicity: that’s the motto we preach with Iplicity every day. We believe it’s intelligent to put data in the hands of our customers wherever they need it."

The new product offering, called IceShare will be available for purchase and download from the Apple Store, and will also be offered as a corporate site license.
