[1945001lasolutionennuagede] HP provides IT with a powerful infrastructure that allows users to access applications and IT managed securely share, synchronize and store data - from any device, at any time, all over. The solution integrates with Citrix mobility offering, including industry leaders such as XenMobile products for mobile application and device management and synchronization ShareFile for enterprise file and sharing.

This is great news for organizations that want to provide a secure service with a great user experience, while enjoying the effortless management of a solution based on a cloud.

Undoubtedly, it needs to manage and control the range of devices, applications and services that employees bring to the workplace. We know that people use their personal tablets and smartphones to work and know that they are the company's data download to unsecured file sharing services. According to a report from the Enterprise Strategy Group in August 2012 ¹ , a large majority (70 percent) of organizations know or suspect their employees use personal file sharing accounts online without the formal approval of computing.

We designed the product keeping the requirements of the basic business in mind, as a custom mix of cloud-based and on storage site; ability to leverage existing investments, such as network shares, applications with content editing features; and data management policies such as remote wipe.
