Documents form the heart of any enterprise. From business plans to designs to sensitive customer
data, it is very essential for the enterprise to secure these documents. Traditional ways of document
management allowed enterprises to secure these documents and restrict access to only authorised
users. Enterprises had to rely on other expensive tools and invest in hardware to ensure that they
maintain copies of the documents to ensure business continuity in case of a disaster.
With the rapid adoption of smart mobile devices, the workforce today is very familiar with the benefits
offered by public cloud services. These services enable mobility and lets employees access their
documents anywhere, anytime and lets them share files easily. But such consumer grade services pose
an imminent threat to the confidentiality of the enterprise documents. Moreover, by allowing employees
to put data on a public cloud, enterprises lose the administration capability and control over the way the
employees access and share critical data. Thus, there is an increasing need for the enterprise to enable
their mobile workforce to access critical data on the move, provide backup for their end point devices and
facilitate easy sharing of documents and folders within and outside the organization. All this has to be
accomplished without compromising on the enterprise class administration, security and control. This
will also help enterprises increase productivity of its workforce while discouraging the use of free public
services where the confidentiality of the documents may be compromised.
Infinitevault from NxtGen is a secure file sync and share appliance that will allow enterprises to backup
end point devices, enable mobility and share large files and folders easily within or outside the
organization.

Infinitevault

- The Secure Vault for Enterprise

InfiniteVault acts as a secure vault to store all your critical enterprise documents. Employees can access
and share documents from any computing device such as a laptop, tablet, mobile phone or through a
third party computer using a browser. Common files can be shared between departments in your
organization by allowing only the required users to access the relevant files. Documents can be shared
between users by only providing a link to the shared location. This helps users share bulky documents
between a large group of users without loading the mail servers or creating multiple copies of files.
Flexibility in deployment is one of the key aspects of InfiniteVault. Enterprises can choose to have
hosted, on-premise or hybrid models depending on the compliance requirements. The appliances also
come in a variety of sizes allowing you to choose the storage size based on your requirements. The
appliances are dedicated for each enterprise and will provide complete administration capabilities to
your IT department. Enterprises also have the option of having the appliance on-premise and use the
NxtGen cloud for periodic backups to ensure disaster recovery.
InfiniteVault integrates seamlessly to the enterprise environment. It provides complete control to the IT
administrator to set folder access permissions and monitor the files shared between users. By enabling
mobility, enterprises can also expect significant gains in employee productivity

Enterprises can chose to deploy Infinitevault on a hosted or on-premise model

On a hosted model, the server is dedicated solely for a specific enterprise only. This is unlike
other public cloud models where you get one slice from a big block. We can always point you to
the exact server where your data resides. If you chose to move out, we can provide you the
server and all your data.
The on-premise appliance is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing infrastructure,
thereby giving you the flexibility of operation out of your own premise.
Infinitevault integrates with your active directory for authentication and SSO. It will also
integrate with your existing document management systems like sharepoint, thereby providing
you the comfort of operating with your existing systems.

Typical Use Cases

Infinite Datacenter

Secure back up for desktops/laptops: Organizations are generally concerned about the enterprise
applications and ensure timely backup of these. However, most organizations ignore backing up the end
point devices which will contain crucial documents and files. In the event of any disaster or a more
frequent event like a disk crash, precious data will be lost. Using InfiniteVault desktop clients,
enterprises can ensure that the data on end point devices is backed up periodically. This data can be
restored as and when required.
Mobility: Workforce today is increasingly mobile and are operating out of different locations. This is
especially true for specific departments like sales, where there is a need to access important
presentations, proposals and customer data on the move. At the same time, the enterprises have to
enable employees to access this data securely to prevent unauthorised access. If this facility is not
enabled by the enterprises, the employees might resort to using free public cloud services for
convenience thereby compromising on the confidentiality of the documents. InfiniteVault has mobile
apps across popular mobile platform to address these needs. Enterprises can also enable secure access
to critical data for employees on the move without sacrificing on the administrative controls.
Easy Sharing: Across many industries, there is a frequent need to share huge files such as drawings,
media content and other proprietary content. Use of emails for such files is not convenient due to file
size limits. Using Infinitevault, you can generate secure links to files/folders and then share it either
internally or externally. Additional security features such as password protection for links and specifying
date from when the link becomes inactive are available. With all these features, sharing becomes quick
and easy.
