New Cloud Storage Software From Ann Arbor Company

ANN ARBOR (WWJ) -- Portal Architects Inc. announced the general market availability of version 2.7 of its SkySync software.

The company says SkySync is a simple yet powerful Windows app that enables organizations of any size to synchronize or migrate files across most storage systems including cloud platforms, Microsoft SharePoint and network file-shares.

"SkySync transforms the process of migrating or syncing on-site files to cloud platforms into simple steps that take only minutes," Portal Architects CTO Steve Woodward said. "For network file systems, SkySync offers advanced capabilities that enable admins to automatically link and maintain entire groups of user home-drives to their cloud storage accounts with only a few clicks."

Also, Woodward said, "SkySync's new filtering capabilities prevent files like .db, .cmd and other file-types from moving your cloud storage platform. You can even filter by file creation date, last-modified date range, or file-name. Plus, its granular reporting capabilities provide system admins a complete audit trail of all file filter and transfer actions."

Mark Brazeau, Portal Architects co-founder, added that SkySync's scalable architecture is designed to easily manage over 100 million file-transfers per instance across any number of connected systems. It resolves file conflicts and system caveats automatically, so migrating large-volumes of files to the cloud or having them co-exist with your on-premises storage is easy.

SkySync is designed to meet the demands of businesses of all sizes, from a single workstation to multiple servers transferring terabytes of files. SkySync includes connectors for Microsoft SharePoint 2007, SharePoint 2010, SharePoint 2013, Microsoft Office 365, Box, Huddle, DropBox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, Citrix ShareFile, SugarSync, Documentum, as well as network file systems. Connectors for Egnyte, Copy by Barracuda, and SalesForce are also incorporated within the version 2.7 release.
