Gladinet Releases Cloud Storage Client for Windows Phone 8

Gladinet
Inc. has announced a Windows
Phone 8 client for Gladinet Cloud storage which allows users to
open and modify cloud documents using any application on their mobile
device.

Many Windows Phone users may opt for
SkyDrive as their cloud storage, but the company is focused on
allowing enterprises and service providers to deploy a self-hosted Dropbox alternative with their own branding. Those customers have
been waiting for the firm to complete its mobile story with the
addition of this latest client.

The BYOD phenomenon has presented many
enterprises with the challenge of accommodating the access needs of
employees with mobile devices. Their employees have become accustomed
to the convenience of public cloud storage while their IT departments
are more comfortable with the control and security of on premise
infrastructure. This bridges that gap by allowing enterprises or
their service providers to deploy a private cloud collaboration
service with all the features users need, while maintaining control
of the cloud storage and access infrastructure.

Gladinet’s CEO, Jerry Huang, stated: "We
are pleased to complete our mobile story with the addition of our
native cloud application for Windows Phone that makes it easy to
share any file or folder on their device and upload pictures and
video directly to cloud storage. The new client also allows documents
in cloud storage to be opened and modified in place with any Windows
Phone application."
