File Sharing for Remote Workers without the cost and complexity of VPN

May 1, 2021

Adapting to a new way of working with Egnyte File Server.

Even small changes to employee routines are difficult to adapt to and shatter productivity. To overcome these
disruptions, companies have to quickly implement remote-working policies; but to make these employees
successful, they have to be given the same tools and experience they have in their traditional working
environment.

Most importantly, they need access to the required sources of data that are at the center of their daily work.
That information is stored in files and folders and, if it cannot be accessed and shared, the resulting slowdown
in productivity is a momentum killer and can be a massive detriment to a company’s bottom line. In this rapidly-changing environment, leaders are called upon to balance productivity with the health and well-being of their employees and partners. While the first concern is for the safety of their people, it’s also important to maintain some level of normal operations so that people can be productive and companies can still meet their financial and innovation goals. Doing that demands that IT decision makers consider these challenges and ways to overcome them:

The Egnyte Platform provides major advantages for companies with remote workers, including:

  • Granular access control and data protection: file permissions can be granted on a granular basis. Advanced ransomware and anti-virus protection provides threat detection to avert attacks.
  • Reduced administrative overhead: no more “server management,” Distributed File System Replication (DFSR), permission replication challenges, or “aging out” data to remove it from expensive hardware.
  • Better performance and capabilities: fast, anywhere access, from any desktop or mobile device without losing performance or productivity — all without requiring a VPN.
