Funambol Introducing White-Label Enterprise Cloud File Storage Solution

Funambol Inc. introduced its cloud storage solution for enterprises.

Funambol OneBizHub is a white-label solution that enables service providers to offer a branded way to share, sync and backup business files. It differs from other cloud storage solutions in several ways. It is white-label, enabling service providers to go to market with their own brand. It is only available via service providers, not directly from the business, to avoid channel conflict. It can be hosted in the cloud or deployed on service provider premises, and it integrates with their billing and user authentication systems. It offers unlimited cloud storage to end users and flexible business models to support diverse service provider business objectives and go-to-market approaches.

“Many operators have deployed Funambol’s personal cloud service for consumers and they want to offer a similar service for enterprises,” said Amit Chawla, Funambol CEO. “OneBizHub is based on a time-tested solution that has been deployed at thousands of companies worldwide, enabling service providers to offer a branded, robust and cost-effective cloud storage system for business.“

The personal cloud markets for consumers and enterprises are very different as the needs of users are quite distinct. Consumers are generally more concerned about media such as pictures, videos and music, while businesses care more about files, collaboration and security. It is important that the user experience for consumers and business people emphasize different aspects and that’s what this solutions does.

Here is a partial list of primary capabilities:

Unlimited cloud storage for end users
Encrypted local drive vault with file permissions, tracking and notifications
