This latest edition of Copy comes as part of Barracuda’s Data Protection Plus strategic initiative, which aims to help customers access, retain and share critical data from anywhere and any device.

“Today’s users require data access across all of their devices and for that information to remain readily available,” said Rod Mathews, GM Storage, Barracuda. “Barracuda’s storage solutions offer secure, mobile data access so that users are able to remain productive.

  • Drag and Drop: Easily move and upload files using the simple drag and drop function.
  • Integrated Copy Site Server Management: New admin view allows administrators to manage and monitor status of one or more Site Servers associated with each company account.

“As deadlines approach and file versions change rapidly, the need for faster more efficient file syncing and sharing becomes crucial,” said Byron Largent, Business Applications Lead at David C. Cook. “The Copy Site Server has given us the ability to do faster file syncing among team members located at our central office. Being able to marry web browser access and local network access brings endless opportunities for us.”

The Copy Site Server was developed to help organizations optimize access, performance and security with hybrid onsite and cloud-based file sync and share. Highlights include:

  • Local Recovery: Files stored locally so that even in the event of an external network outage, minimal employee productivity impact.
  • “Never Full” Local Cache: Most frequently used files cached on the Copy Site Server and remain available.
