AppSense Trying To Make Personal Clouds Enterprise Worthy

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 21, 2012

AppSense, the NewYork based company focussed on Virtualization solutions, today announced their research wing, AppSense Labs, focussed on bridging the gap between personal services and enterprise.

Syncplicity moves to Document Lifecycle and Workflow

Syncplicity moves to Document Lifecycle and Workflow

By Ben Kepes on November 15, 2011

I use a bunch of document and file synchronization, backup and collaboration tools. From SugarSync to Box.net, from Dropbox to Syncplicity I’ve pretty much used, and currently use, them all.

Box Takes on Desktop Sync, the Space Gets Ever More Crowded

Box Takes on Desktop Sync, the Space Gets Ever More Crowded

I’ve written before about a number of desktop sync products I use – these products help me to keep my life organized across multiple devices (see my Syncplicity posts for example). The fact is that, for me at least, I live on three different laptops, a desktop from time-to-time and one or two mobile devices […]

Dropbox – Envisaging a Future Well Beyond Files

By Ben Kepes on February 9, 2010

I’ve been talking a lot recently to cloud storage, cloud synchronization and cloud backup vendors (all variations on a theme but they all have a different emphasis to what they do).

The Reality About Changing the World…

By Ben Kepes on May 19, 2009
