Acronis and Citrix Further the Accessibility, Availability
and Protection of Critical Data
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, 29 May, 2013 - Acronis® today announced that it has joined the Citrix Ready Worx Verified partner programme with the integration of its secure mobile file management software mobilEcho® with Citrix MDX technology. Acronis mobilEcho will soon be made available to more than 250,000 existing Citrix enterprise customers and 10,000 Citrix resellers on the Citrix Worx App Gallery to further the accessibility, availability and protection of critical data on enterprise mobile devices.
Citrix MDX technology allows IT to set comprehensive
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 any
iOS™ and Android™ device.
"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 at 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
Citrix Worx SDK to easily embed MDX technology in its mobilEcho
app, extending the product as a secure solution to Citrix customers
using any Android or iOS based device. Citrix 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. "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.
