ownCloud Unveils First and Only Flexible Hybrid Cloud Enterprise File Sync & Share Solution with on-Premise Control Plane

ownCloud, Inc., the company behind the world’s most popular open source enterprise file sync and share (EFSS) software, today unveiled its new hybrid cloud enterprise file sync & share (EFSS) model, the first in the industry to allow customers to choose their cloud storage service, and still deliver on-premise security and control. While existing hybrid models leave the control plane in the public cloud, making files more susceptible to hackers and government agencies, ownCloud’s new hybrid model is the first to allow IT administrators to use the storage of their choice, and still manage the control plane, including encryption keys, on-premise.
