Acronis Joins Citrix Ready Worx Verified Partner Program

Acronis International GmbH has joined the Citrix
Ready Worx Verified partner programme with the integration of its secure
mobile file management software mobilEcho with Citrix MDX technology.

mobilEcho will be made available to more than 250,000 existing
Citrix enterprise customers and 10,000 resellers on the Citrix Worx App
Gallery to further the accessibility, availability and protection of critical
data on enterprise mobile devices.

MDX technology allows IT to set policy-based controls such as data
leakage prevention and the ability to remote lock, wipe and encrypt apps and
data. Enterprise IT teams can then apply security and access policies to
participating Worx applications, including mobilEcho, across iOS and
Android devices.

"As more personal devices infiltrate
enterprise environments, security becomes a top concern as IT strives to ensure
critical data is safe from leakage, malware and hackers," commented
Anders Lofgren, director of mobility solutions, Acronis. "The integration of mobilEcho with the Citrix
Ready Worx Verified partner programme will help IT organisations safely embrace
mobile trends in the workplace while improving the security of their mobile
strategy overall. This is ultimately what we all hope to achieve, and we’re
excited to be teaming up with Citrix with this goal in mind."

To extend the product as enterprise ready, Acronis used the Worx SDK to embed
MDX technology in its mobilEcho app, extending the product as a secure solution
to Citrix customers using Android or iOS based devices. MDX
technology allows end users to maintain direct, secure access to the mobilEcho
app while enabling IT to enforce the data-security and data-access rights
required by their organisation. This integration will further help mobility IT
managers manage the growing number of mobile apps end users are adopting for
productivity and on-demand data access.

"We have recognised a huge
opportunity in the mobility space for our customers and the industry, and want
to ensure enterprise security concerns are addressed," said Chris
Fleck, VP mobility solutions and alliances, Citrix. "mobilEcho is a great addition to our Citrix Ready Worx Verified partner
programme and a perfect example of a secure, easy-to-use application that
allows users to enhance their productivity from anywhere on any device."

mobilEcho enables IT organisations to provide iOS or Android mobile device
users with the identical secure and managed access to files and content on
enterprise file servers, SharePoint and NAS storage, that they experience from
their laptop or desktop. This includes the ability to edit, annotate and
collaborate on any documents. Access rights are integrated with Active
Directory to ease management and support compliance.
