EMC Offers Online File Sharing With On-Premise Storage Product
For IT, Syncplicity is focusing on reporting capabilities, especially the ability to track active use, perform auditing and chargeback.
"We have our first reporting tool that should be coming out shortly in the next few weeks," Patel says. "You can import reports into your own reporting tool or Excel or what have you. We will continue to add more and more reports as time goes on. We have a very rich set of data that is being captured."
