New Acronis Access Advanced Integration with Microsoft Intune Supports Microsoft Strategy to Manage Mobile Productivity without Compromising IT Security
Burlington, MA - November 17, 2015 - Acronis, a global leader in new
generation data protection, today announced integration between
Acronis
Access Advanced and the Microsoft Intune Enterprise Mobility
Management suite. As a result of the integration, IT administrators
can easily manage the deployment of Acronis Access Advanced and
apply management policies for data protection on mobile devices
using the new Mobile Application Management (MAM) features of
Microsoft Intune.
Acronis Access Advanced is a leading enterprise file access, sync
and share solution, providing IT professionals with complete
control over business content to ensure security, maintain
compliance, and enable BYOD for employees. End users can easily and
securely access corporate file servers, file sharing sites and
content management systems found in on-premises or cloud
environments, and also share content with other employees,
customers, partners and vendors.
Microsoft Intune provides cloud-based mobile device management,
mobile application management, and PC management capabilities.
Using Intune, organizations can provide their employees with access
to corporate applications, data, and resources from virtually
anywhere, while helping to keep company information secure. In
addition to supporting Microsoft apps, some of the world's leading
companies are now delivering applications with support for mobile
application management via Microsoft Intune, including Acronis for
protecting data on mobile devices.
With the integration of Acronis Access Advanced and Microsoft Intune, enterprises can more easily manage the deployment of the Acronis Access Advanced mobile file sync and share application and apply management policies. The integration will also boost user productivity, enabling secure interaction with Microsoft Office mobile and other managed apps, while preventing unauthorized access and data leakage. Policies can be added to restrict operations, such as copy and paste within managed applications.
"People are mobile, devices are increasingly personal, and apps are moving to the cloud. This continues to have a profound, and far-reaching impact on how people work and how companies think about security. The Microsoft Intune and Acronis Access Advanced integration provides mobile users with secure file access and sharing using on premise file shares and SharePoint repositories, while offering IT the most comprehensive security, granular policy controls, and visibility to manage users, devices, apps, and data. We are excited to have Acronis Access Advanced as part of the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite ecosystem," said Brad Anderson, Corporate Vice President, Enterprise Client & Mobility at Microsoft.
"Security continues to be top of mind for enterprises and protecting company resources, intellectual property and customer information on mobile devices, while ensuring appropriate access and collaboration is essential, especially for mobile workers," said John Zanni, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, Channel and Cloud Strategy, Acronis. "In the past year we have seen significant growth in customer demand for integrating Acronis Access Advanced with the Microsoft mobility solutions. We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Microsoft with our support for Intune."
