You can tell when a new technology market was born when the major industry analysts starting to notice. It is clear from reading recent reports by leading analysts that a new "File Sharing and Sync Enterprise" market was formed. There are many different perspectives and approaches to EFSS market and several major providers have emerged . Our potential customers ask us how ShareFile against the competition, and usually Box and Accellion are products that refer to clients. below is my own assessment of ShareFile vs. Box and Accellion.

Box. Proponents of this market know Box as a startup Software-as-a-Service Silicon Valley (SaaS) that aa attracted many venture capital funds. Box clings to a almost religious belief that the only way to go with EFSS is using cloud-based storage, managed by Box. in fact, only current concession Box to work with local storage in shops and existing files, such as network shares Microsoft SharePoint is traditional and through its ECM Cloud Connect can offer. Box says ECM Cloud Connect can synchronize files between Enterprise Content Management systems and existing storage customers from Box Cloud. It's all part of what the Box markets like the ability to "consolidate all of your file services on Box." (And yes, the big storage vendors such as NetApp and EMC have taken note of the shooting through their arc ...) On a related note, one wonders how the ECM Cloud Connect capability will behave, as Box offers this capability via an OEM relationship with a company called Entropysoft which was recently acquired by Salesforce.com. Box seems likely to appeal to customers ready to "consolidate all their file services" in the hands of the box (and its Cloud Storage only philosophy).

Accellion is essentially opposite Box. Accellion is a start-up, and largely took the opposite approach to Cloud and SaaS. Accellion offers a "fully on Site" product that EFSS Enterprise IT installs and manages its own center data. This approach tends to appeal to corporate iT organizations who believe a system that is entirely within the organization's data center is more secure. of course, this means there are more system install, manage, patch, etc. and a year after purchasing the product, Accellion customers will have to devote much time and effort to make the latest level and features. with a product entirely on site, users depend of their IT services to keep them updated with the latest and greatest features.

If Box and Accellion occupy opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of SaaS and cloud-based storage EFSS market Citrix ShareFile offers what we believe is the "best of both worlds. " ShareFile offers the benefits of low maintenance SaaS, with the flexibility to store data in either the Citrix Cloud managed on site or in stores existing files (eg traditional network shares). Let's take a look at the architecture of ShareFile to explain this in detail:

ShareFile is composed of two subsystems: the "Control Plane" and the chart below is a good illustration "StorageZones . "

the control plane is where the heart lives ShareFile logical application, for both ShareFile.com (American service) and ShareFile.eu ( based service in Europe). We adopt a SaaS approach with the control plan, so that new features are delivered to customers automatically, without having to perform upgrades manually. This reduces Opex for the IT organization to our clients, and ensures that the application is always up to date.

StorageZones offer the flexibility to store data in multiple places. Customers can choose "StorageZones Citrix managed" using one of the various Cloud Storage 8 locations worldwide, for compliance and optimum performance for a global user base. There is also the possibility of using "StorageZones managed clients" where data storage is managed on site. Security officials in the enterprise IT organization like this, because they control where the data is at rest. Finally, StorageZone Connectors enable mobile access to data that lives in file stores, including existing traditional network shares (and SharePoint is on the short-term roadmap ShareFile * -thanks to Zenprise now XenMobile MDM Technology for the running start on this technology!) It is important to note that StorageZone Connectors, unlike ECM cloud Connect-Box does not require you to move data around. existing tools and processes continue to function normally

So with StorageZones managed by the client, the image is amended as follows :.

Notice in the image above that the use of Citrix managed StorageZones managed clients and are not mutually exclusive. You can use both managed and Citrix StorageZones managed clients (including StorageZone connectors) in a ShareFile account. Our customers are very happy to have this flexibility, and we certainly believe it offers the best of both worlds from the Box "Cloud Only" and Accellion of "on site" philosophies.

For Citrix customers Sharefile also offers integration with our other products such as XenDesktop, XenApp, NetScaler and now XenMobile (formerly Zenprise). Regarding the mobility of enterprises, Citrix is ​​unique in that it offers leading products in both MDM and EFSS markets, in addition to widely used product lines XenApp / XenDesktop. Including ShareFile offers only market desktop synchronization tool that is optimized for use on all virtual desktop environments. For companies looking to solve a wide range of mobility needs, Citrix ShareFile is certainly to have on your list.

The choice of mobile OS determines all hardware, applications, support, capacity jailbreak, expandabilty and accessories - all discreetly impact the company's management, support, privacy and security. The safety functions are either inherent in the mobile OS or executed by measures and policies controlled by the mobile operating system. This means that the appropriate configuration and maintainence of the security functions of the mobile operating system is imperitive to protect both the company and the individual. In addition, innovative uses of mobile technology, such as tablets in the boardroom push the boundaries of secure mobile experience -. And screaming for security innovation

In this next Synergy session, we examine three major mobile OS platforms, security issues and the characteristics of each, and orientation of the business for making it easy for users of the mobile operating system do the right things to protect privacy and security.

session Sneak Preview:

Android powered devices allow a wide variety of hardware manufacturers to offer a wide variety of differentiated similar devices. As an open platform with roots in the open source software, Android has become a key operating system in the quest for increased mobility. Features and benefits that are targeted to both consumers and businesses make Android an attractive choice for individuals and organizations, but organizations should ensure that specific measures are in place to ensure the security and confidentiality of information the company. Although the characteristics of the device and the security of the operating system continue to impress, OS version fragmentation issues and a lack of upgrading capacity on the controlled support devices continue to be problematic for the Android security.

iOS-based mobile devices from Apple, such as the iPhone and iPad, have been marketed as consumer devices, but found themselves at home in many companies for worker mobility. The proprietary operating system iOS is tightly controlled, resulting in a consistent experience across applications and devices. In addition, iOS has a broad ecosystem of hardware and software that tightly integrates with Apple devices. Apple raises the bar for user experience, consistency and overall control equipment applications. The "walled garden" approach to security reduces vulnerability, but simultaneously limits the traditional enterprise security options.

Windows Microsoft mobility solutions include telephone and Windows operating systems area. These systems promise the greatest compability with Microsoft environments, including the Office suite of applications. With advanced built-in security that includes secure startup, BitLocker encryption device, anti-malware, firewall and rights management information, Windows Phone and Surface have a solid security foundation. Legacy Windows security technologies are also well understood and managed by most IT departments. Windows Mobile platforms relatively newly refreshed have had limited adoption - but can become a favorite of computer security

Session :. SYN313: Securing Android devices, iOS and Windows Phone in the business

session direct link http://citrixsynergy.com/losangeles/sessions-labs/breakout-sessions .html? track = Mobility & session = SYN313

This session will describe, from an IT perspective, the problems that arise when for Android, iOS and tablets and Windows-based smartphones in both businesses and consumers networks-and the steps it must take to maintain control while encouraging productivity and mobility. We will discuss the security considerations of risk mitigation options and architectures needed to support tablets and smartphones that quality consumer devices with access to sensitive company data.

Please join me for the latest in this ongoing discussion at Synergy! -Kurt

T-Minus 35 days ......... .. Citrix Cloud Networking will be in the beautiful sunny Southern California

This year, Citrix Synergy takes on both sides of mobile workstyles - flexibility to work and live your way and the ability to secure, monitor, manage and develop IT systems that support this freedom.

Power your cloud with Citrix Cloud Networking

Citrix networking solutions have been fueling some clouds in the world's largest and most successful before they were called clouds . Today, they support integration with Citrix CloudPlatform and other platforms cloud orchestration and virtualization. The main cloud service providers use to scale seamlessly and cost-effectively network and computing capacity and storage

These solutions :.

• Deliver the underlying layer four to seven services to power your cloud and ensure availability, load balancing, security, acceleration and unloading.
• provide flexible purchasing and upgrade options, providing the flexibility to meet the price points of cloud-scale. These include physical and virtual devices, Pay-As-You-Grow pricing and offers simple and multi-tenant.
• service providers offer flexibility, elasticity, multi-tenancy and superior insulation.
• form the foundation for offers and differentiation in extra added value.

Using Citrix Cloud network as the basis for providing higher SLAs and increase customer satisfaction.

Many of you have reached out asking what the best sessions to attend .... My answer- "All!" For those interested, below is a complete list of available networking break out sessions that will be available to assist during #CitrixSynergy 2013.

Last Monday, HP announced the availability of their Moonshot system. In a word, it is about packaging a large number of nodes under-10 W computation or storage in a fraction of the space of what has been available so far on the server market business. HP are currently delivering densities calculation servers 45 by 4.3U chassis, which means that 450 servers per rack. HP also visualized future densities up to 180 servers per chassis or 1800 servers per rack. Although each system may not be as powerful as traditional x86 server, you win a large number of servers and consuming much less energy.

Virtualization Is Dead?

On the face of it, HP Moonshot the architecture lends itself to "physicalization", a term coined to describe the movement in some areas in an architecture in which only some workloads - perhaps to four - run on a single host. In such a scenario, what role would have virtualization?

The answer is, of course, that there is definitely a place for hypervisors, but it looks very different from the way we use them today.

Virtualization & Manageability

HP Moonshot will lead to tens of thousands of servers in a single line of a data center. A user of this infrastructure would not care what exact server where they running out: they just want their workload to keep running. Thus, administrators will move workloads around (for example to take the machines into and out of maintenance). The best way to do this is to use a virtualization platform.

Of course, this does not mean that you will necessarily need all the features of a traditional virtualization product. bloating or memory page sharing, for example, is not useful if you run a two virtual machines. As we move into the future with Moonshot what you will need is a way to manage the complexity of many machines. That's where an orchestration layer is necessary.

Your Very Own Cloud

As service providers and enterprises start to deploy Moonshot systems, even a small deployment means a large number of servers. Provide the ability to divide this infrastructure across multiple tenants, with the system allocate servers to users on request (not someone who needs to physically carry out the distribution), and monitoring / billing for usage becomes key. That is why the orchestration layers as Apache CloudStack (on which is based the Citrix CloudPlatform) and OpenStack are really important for the adoption HP Moonshot grows.

Xen is armed

Today, the original HP Moonshot servers are based Intel Atom. All x86 hypervisor must be compatible; However, HP plans to rapidly introduce servers based on ARM in Moonshot. There is currently a lot of interest surrounding the potential of ARM in servers, and the recent announcement of the Xen project that the Xen 4.3 hypervisor will support ARM architectures help enable and grow this ecosystem.

Citrix is ​​a major contributor to Xen project and recently announced that it will join the Linaro Enterprise Group (LEG). Meanwhile, Citrix has also worked with the CloudStack Calxeda port management ARM-based bare metal servers. We are excited about the possibilities this market holds, and you can expect to see more activity surrounding virtualization ARM servers and orchestration of us in the future!

So What

Many people are? will start investigating alternative processing architectures Moonshot after the announcement of HP, and there will be a significant need for both virtualization and cloud orchestration to help manage deployments. Citrix and HP are well positioned to jointly deliver solutions using XenServer, Apache CloudStack and OpenStack, and Moonshot system.

Does the "Wild Wild West" or "Three Ring Circus" describe the approach to BYOD in your organization? Have you tried to mitigate risk by focusing on solutions that are ultimately no more effective account of using a Band-Aid to repair a leak in the Hoover Dam? How did you ever wind up in this position? Was it a result of the following executive mandates requiring you to address compliance by checking the box on the rudimentary checklists, but not more? They can not say it in so many words but how often have you sought funding for a full program should be turned down year after year?

Even when the reality is not so tragic, we've all been in this situation-after much time and effort to create policies and implementation of configurations, we are asked to create exceptions for top brass or officials perceived money that bought the latest gadget on the market. These situations always chipping away at the effectiveness of our sound architectures and security initiatives, leaving the organization vulnerable to the violation and compliance violations. In situations where we are actually allowed to say "no", we find ourselves simply alienate more people we are supposed to serve, many times the cost of productivity and innovation.

By treating them with respect, many organizations choose a silo approach. Are you one of these organizations? Each compliance obligation, the institution selects and deploys several tools and processes for each environment. Following the management of information and resources through policies and disparate tools, the organization faces costs and increasing risks. Duplication of licenses, duplication equipment, sound familiar? This approach silo also led to the abuse of data protection strategies, while archiving of information, creation of development environments or when data volumes increase dramatically.

With the increasing proliferation of mobile devices, more than 6 billion subscriptions worldwide in Q1 2013, users continue to pressure employers for greater flexibility to work on devices their choice. At the same time, organizations must face mounting regulatory compliance mandates, which provide controls that are not natively available on our mobile devices. Although leading best management practices would never allow the key store on encrypted host, that's exactly what we all iPhone and Android devices. No wonder that after each update of the operating system, hours later, we find someone has cracked the code. In 2012, it was reported that 92% of data breaches could have been avoided through encryption and / or authentication controls. Mobile devices fail to provide native robust capabilities in both universes. Users regularly store password lists, social security numbers, credit card numbers, medical information, or other sensitive data on an iOS or Android device without special protective measures in place. Still think it's a good idea

What is the answer

Sorry - There is still no miracle solution. The good news, there are steps we can take to improve security and ease compliance concerns without buying disparate solutions. To fill technology gaps facing the mobile computing risks and meet compliance obligations, consider Citrix mobility solutions. Whether the mobile device is supplied by your organization or company allows staff to bring their own, Citrix offers give us a way to deal with complex and unique business requirements.

How can you cost-effective to meet the needs of users as 3D designers, engineers, writers and editors to variable performance requirements? XenDesktop, XenServer and NVIDIA GPU is the perfect solution to meet these requirements. This solution is available for several years now and it is getting better this year. Citrix and NVIDIA have worked together to develop the next generation of NVIDIA NVIDIA GPU integration with XenDesktop called GRID. At Citrix Synergy 2013, Steve Harpster, NVIDIA Solution Architect, and I will review the capabilities of NVIDIA GRID cards and share experiences in the field of XenDesktop. Mark your calendar for SYN214: Best practices for virtualizing professional 3D graphics apps session

Are you planning a XenDesktop POC for some 3D professional graphics applications.? Have you done this type of POC before and want to know more about proven practices? There is more to just adding a GPU to work or virtual post office to support your 3D users. For starters, there are several options XenDesktop and XenApp configuration (with or without a GPU) to choose from that can meet your needs of use cases, performance and budget. POC should prove the viability of the Citrix solution and there is no better approach, but to plan ahead, avoid unnecessary complexity, optimum performance and avoid surprises. POC should not take more than 2-3 weeks so that the commitment of management can be quickly obtained for full implementation. In SYN214: best practices for 3D virtualization professional graphics applications, we will review the success factors and lessons learned that can help you with your POC

what your management approved your Citrix 3D professional graphics project .? Now, you are challenged with building a XenDesktop production-ready environment. What does it take to build a scalable Citrix platform 3D for your users? You may be under pressure to meet a deadline, but taking a shortcut can not be the smart thing to do. What you need to know to avoid missteps? Many 3D users are very demanding in terms of performance, because they are used for high-end workstations dedicated. You must ensure that XenDesktop layers and associated architecture will still perform well. Join us in SYN214: best practices for virtualization 3D professional graphics applications and learn more about it

Do you feel provoked by your Remote Desktop session times? If you do, why is it so? Maybe it's because of the remote access protocol you use. To feel caused by a protocol or leaving the resulting screen means you have to seriously interact with your desktop and remote applications. Probably, it is time to join the protocol therapists Benny Tritsch and Shawn Bass at their meeting on the treatment of VDI blues.

Violence against computers and remote workstations are typical symptoms of the blues and VDI does not occur only in isolated cases. In fact, Anger related Technology (TRA) is a clinical diagnosis. Unfortunately, there is no simple cure. Solid understanding of how different media formats Remoting work with different remote communication protocols is essential for successful ART treatment. What is the Microsoft RemoteFX quality compared to Citrix HDX and HDX 3D Pro? How good are the protocols other guys out there? And what is best suited for different media formats and network conditions? You want answers? Sure you want!

So do not miss the healing session and Benny Shawn if you want to overcome your case TRA and VDI blues. They have a strong balance sheet to discover the pain of remoting protocols

• "How Graphics RDP / ICA and Remoting media really works - Behind the Scenes". From 09, explaining how text, PDF, WPF, raster images, Flash, Silverlight, QuickTime, and WMV videos work when used in remote desktop sessions.
• "Remoting Protocols Turned Inside Out" from 2010, the introduction of the visual comparison test sequences stored in a 4-up video player.
• "VDI Remoting Protocols Turned Inside Out v2.0" from 2011, an updated version of the visual comparison, including 3D graphics (DirectX, OpenGL), new emulation protocols ( HDX 3D Pro, RemoteFX) and sophisticated WAN.
• "remoting protocols in a mobile world" from 2012, adding test sequences using mobile networks 3G and 4G.

now it is time for the final shootout between the latest versions of RemoteFX and HDX. So mark this date in your calendar if you want Synergy ease your agony protocol: Thursday, May 23 at 09:00 in the Anaheim Convention Center Room 210B. The title of the session is "SYN506: May the best win of the protocol: an independent comparison of Microsoft RemoteFX and Citrix HDX".
