Probox, UK Enterprise Online File Storage Service by Proact

Proact
Ltd,
European storage integrator and cloud services provider,
announced the UK’s first dedicated enterprise online
file storage service, Probox.

The cloud service enables business
employees to share, access and sync all their work files across work
teams and to their mobile devices automatically, instantly and
continuously.

The demand for access to shared
files is forcing over 65% of workers to use unauthorised online file
storage services to store business data, according to a Proact
survey. Probox utilises the technology and practice to
safeguard data, prevent unauthorised access and guarantee service
availability.

Mark Butcher, commercial director
at Proact, explains: "Business users want a service that
provides them with flexible and immediate access to their company
data, but few IT departments have been able to provide this service
until now. This means employees have had no choice but to flaunt
regulations by using file sharing services that put the company at
serious risk of data leakage with zero control of their data location
or sharing controls and a total lack of service level or contractual
agreement.

"Probox enables businesses
to ensure users retain ownership and control of their data with a
secure service that has been built specifically with business use in
mind. Probox has been designed with security at the forefront of its
development, as opposed to being a bolt-on to the system. It
therefore provides enterprise-class levels of availability,
performance and security to even the most stringent businesses,
ensuring their vital data is as safe and available as possible."

This service provides each employee
with 20GB of personal storage space, instantaneously syncing their
data to the cloud and to mobile devices, across a range of platforms
including Mac, PC, iOS and Android. This enables them to securely
access company files and folders whenever and wherever they are and
on any device, negating the need for users to copy files to USBs or
email documents to themselves.

Butcher explains: "Sharing
files through Probox is more effective and secure than emailing
documents to yourself and your work colleagues. Using Probox to share
files means that only your intended recipient can open the file you
share, nobody else. It enhances the speed of a sent email, as users
send information via links rather than attachments. This means it is
now possible to quickly and simply send complete folders of files
rather than simply sending multiple individual documents."

Probox also enhances business
productivity and the security of company data. When a user accesses
Probox their web browser and the data they transmit is protected by
the same encryption methods used by major banks and government
institutions.
