Syncplicity unveils service to centralize data, collaboration, backup

"We think most information will migrate to an information centric world where devices are no longer at the center," says Leonard Chung, CEO of Syncplicity, who previously worked in Microsoft's server division. "Microsoft and Dell are really device centric vs. the newer folks like Google who are information centric. But customers don't want to make an adopt-and-abandon choice – adopt one and abandon the other. They want to best of both worlds and we tie it together."

Business Edition also includes a number of tools for IT such as user management, access management via policies, reporting tools and encryption. The service also includes a restore feature and supports real-time backup. Collaboration features include versioning and revision history.

Syncplicity also offers a public API for integration with third-party tools and add-ons.

The Business Edition is priced at $45 per month for three users and 50GB of storage. Syncplicity also offers various levels of support from telephone support to free community-driven support.
