with a single-vendor solution that
stores files in on-premise cloud
infrastructure
•Enable anywhere, any device
secure access to on-premise data
from a cloud service architecture
•Provide an on-premise storage
option for Syncplicity customers

MULTI-TENANT CLOUD OFFERING LETS ENTERPRISE USERS
SHARE DATA SECURELY, ACROSS MOBILE DEVICES OF ALL TYPES
EMC is focused on service delivery opportunities that will accelerate the
growth of your subscriber revenues. Leveraging a shared, multi-tenant cloud
architecture to provide your customers with portal-based self-service, you
can significantly reduce operating costs, compared to traditional dedicated
hosting. Both technologies are key to a profitable as-a-service model.
The evolution in mobile technology, and the rapid consumer adoption of
new devices, is driving enterprises to adapt. With increasing pressure from
users to expand the range of mobile devices they allow to access enterprise
resources, your customers need to enable collaboration and sharing between
users and among devices, without sacrificing security or creating increased
management complexity.
The rapid proliferation of devices and highly distributed teams, coupled with
the increased expectation of anywhere, anytime access to data and network
resources, has created new mobility challenges for enterprise IT. Cloud mobility, workload mobility and client mobility demand both back- and front-end
solutions to ensure that users can seamlessly and securely collaborate across
the enterprise while still maintaining IT control and flexibility.
The ability to sync files on all devices and share files with colleagues, customers, and partners, while maintaining secure and compliant workflow, will become even more vital as the number of tablets triples by 2017. This growth in
mobile devices adds even greater complexity to the management of existing
PCs and smartphones deployed across the enterprise.
Enterprise IT has been faced with either embracing consumer-grade sync
and share services or implementing a complex, multi-vendor hardware and
software solution. File Sync and Share in the cloud not only meets the needs
of a highly distributed mobile workforce, but also enables the secure sharing of documents outside the enterprise firewall without creating increased
complexity.

Continuity
Now, enterprises and service providers can use new or existing EMC storage
platforms (such as Atmos, Isilon or VNX) with Syncplicity to enable secure
data access that supports the emerging bring-your-own-device era. The EMC
FSSaaS solution integrates best-in-class EMC Atmos, Isilon, or VNX storage
arrays with Syncplicity authentication, creating a secure way to access and
share active files across multiple platforms by multiple users. The fully integrated EMC FSSaaS solution components include
•Atmos, Isilon or VNX storage—to securely host data on-premise
•Syncplicity orchestration tier—to enable 7 by 24 by 365 system management,
monitoring and maintenance for service providers
•Syncplicity storage and compute tiers—to enable on-premise storage for service providers and customers
•Syncplicity client—to let users access, edit and share their files from desktop
and mobile applications and web browsers

Growth in demand for anywhere, anytime access to files and storage is the net result of BYOD trends,
geographic dispersal of collaborators, and centralized data management

SYNCPLICITY
As organizations seek a secure corporate sync and share solution, Syncplicity
lets you offer file sync and share as a service with data stored, by you, in a
specific geographic area. By leveraging your existing infrastructure, Syncplicity creates opportunities to upsell new services by providing a ‘frictionless’
experience that allows users to easily access and share files from devices on
every major platform.
With a comprehensive set of security features and controls at the user, device,
folder, and file level, Syncplicity gives your customers the tools and infrastructure integration to maintain control of, and visibility into, large-scale file
sharing activities. As a result, they maintain control over all of the content that
currently exists in unmanaged locations, such as email attachments, local
desktop folders, and consumer cloud services.
In addition to giving users the ability to access and share all of their local files
from all their devices automatically, with no extra steps, Syncplicity provides
strong security, controls, and storage flexibility to protect corporate files and
adhere to compliance requirements.

EMC ATMOS
Atmos enables the efficient storage, management, and aggregation of distributed big data across locations through a single pane of glass for a common view and central management. With EMC Atmos, you can add capacity,
applications, locations or tenants to your cloud with zero need to develop or
reconfigure, thereby reducing administration.
In a multi-tenant environment, EMC Atmos lets you meter capacity, bandwidth,
and usage across tenants, while enabling users to self-manage and access
storage.
EMC ISILON
Isilon offers efficient, cost-effective storage from a single file system, serving
I/O-intensive applications, storage, and near-line archives. An EMC Isilon cluster creates a unified pool of highly efficient storage, with a proven 80 percent
storage utilization rate. Therefore, less physical storage is required to house
the same amount of data—reducing capital and operating costs.

In the FSSaaS hybrid deployment, the data storage infrastructure resides with the cloud provider while
authentication remains on customer premises.

storage administration costs. With EMC Isilon, you can scale both capacity and
performance almost instantly to meet specific business needs—all without
additional IT burden.
EMC VNX
The VNX family of storage arrays is designed to deliver maximum performance
and scalability, enabling private and public cloud providers to grow, share,
and cost-effectively manage multi-protocol file and block systems.
EMC VNX series storage is powered by Intel processors for intelligent storage
that automatically and efficiently scales in performance, while ensuring data
integrity and security.
CONCLUSION
With increasingly mobile workforces, and the proliferation of devices designed
