LEXINGTON, MA.—April 14, 2016 — /BackupReview.info/ — ownCloud, Inc., the company behind the world’s most popular open source enterprise file access software, today unveiled the industry’s first fully federated universal file access platform to enable secure, frictionless collaboration for enterprises. The release of ownCloud 9.0, the latest version of the company’s flagship enterprise file access solution, offers the visibility and control into complex, secure and compliant environments with the integration capabilities that IT needs, while continuing to provide enterprise users with frictionless access to all of their files from any device.
ownCloud 9.0 includes significant enhancements including improvements in file access, security and collaboration. With new policy and rules engines, ownCloud is the first file access solution that enables administrators to set document classification rules based on system or user-applied tags, and take actions to enforce those rules. As a result, organizations can create and execute strategies to automatically protect, retain or delete file types based on their business needs and regulatory requirements.
“Enterprise users around the world demand access to files from any device at any time – frictionless file collaboration has become an enterprise mandate,” said Markus Rex, CEO of ownCloud. “At the same time, an increasing focus on security and regulatory compliance dictates that access to these files must be controlled by IT in their environment. ownCloud 9.0 is the first platform that helps users and IT meet these seemingly disparate requirements while supporting and fostering collaboration inside and outside the firewall.”
In addition to cutting-edge document classification and retention, ownCloud 9.0 includes critical upgrades and new capabilities in several areas, including:
Analyst firm Gartner recently published research that supports the requirement for secure file sharing practices designed with the end user in mind:
“Enterprise file synchronization and sharing is a key element of the digital business, and IT planners should make strategic decisions based on the EFSS market’s evolution,” states Gartner. “Plan for workplace transformation, based on the needs of mobile workers, document-centric workflows and real-time collaboration.”

ownCloud 9.0 expands on ownCloud’s commitment to secure file access across the enterprise. Global organizations value frictionless access across data silos without compromising the secure, compliant infrastructure in place. ownCloud 9.0 is available immediately for both Enterprise and Standard Subscriptions.
