'With our 30-year legacy in file and networking services and our commitment to providing security-focused solutions that drive workplace productivity, we are changing the game with Novell Filr – a true enterprise-quality solution for mobile file access and sharing,' said Bob Flynn, Novell president and general manager. Novell Filr enables all of these capabilities, while keeping files on the corporate server with their access rights, quotas, backup systems, firewalls, disaster recovery protocols and existing policies intact. The ability to let mobile workers access, share and collaborate on files is key to any mobility initiative and a critical component of contemporary business success. The wild proliferation of mobile devices has created a pressing need not only for mobile device management, but for mobile content management.

Security of data is our primary concern and with hundreds of devices testing Novell Filr in beta, we are confident in the solution and look forward to rolling it out in full production.' Novell Filr's ability to control versioning, allow users access to the internal network and automatically instate all structure and provisioning previously in place, has been unlike any other solutions we've looked into. 'Our workforce is becoming more mobile and we needed to find a way to internally manage and secure data. 'We chose to participate in the beta testing of Novell Filr because we had multiple requests from stakeholders for a secure file access and sharing solution, independent of the cloud, that didn't involve duplicating efforts,' said Paul Pedron, Senior Network Systems Specialist for the City of Fresno. 'We expect IT organizations will face increasing demand for these capabilities, with deeper focus on security and compliance by regulated or security-conscious enterprises,' said Gartner Analysts Monica Basso and Jeffrey Mann. By integrating with existing file systems, Novell Filr essentially mobilizes the files users have already created, right where they're already stored-without the security or compliance risks that come with storing files in a cloud controlled by a third party.Īccording to a recent Gartner report, file synchronization and sharing are critical capabilities for organizations with a highly mobile workforce and the need to accommodate today's BYOD trends. Novell Filr leverages an organization's existing on-premise infrastructure, eliminating the need to manage third-party services, rebuild access controls, or regulate the use of unapproved file sharing applications. Novell Filr is the result of Novell's history as the pioneer of networked file and print services and unlike cloud-based file sharing solutions like Dropbox, Skydrive or Google Drive, it is built specifically for the enterprise.

PROVO, Utah, Ap/PRNewswire/ - Novell® today announced the release of Novell Filr, a file sharing solution that provides seamless, anywhere, any-device access to corporate files, while giving IT complete control of all shared files.
