SECURE INTEGRATION

Our approach to UCaaS integrates seamlessly with many different applications and platforms to maximize functionality and usefulness. Some integration features include:

• Mac and Windows integration. Files and folders work just as any file and folder would on your PC and Mac - desktop or laptop.
• Mobile device integration. Apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, and BlackBerry allow users to access, share and work on files on the go.
• Active Directory integration. Leverage corporate passwords and address books as well as your existing user and device settings.
• Windows file server integration. Provides mobile access and collaboration to existing file server content.
• Microsoft Exchange integration. Use Exchange Distribution Lists to easily share content with groups.
• Outlook and Office integration. On Windows, our plug-ins put the sync app inside your most frequently used Microsoft apps and gives you the power to co-edit files.
• Office Online integration. Create, edit, and simultaneously collaborate on files with Office Online.

Because we are cloud-syncing files, it’s also able to back them up… as soon as changes are made. Our Datto Cloud solution syncs and backs up more than just the files in your Elevate^® folder—it also protects files and folders on your Desktop and in My Documents, Music, Video, Downloads and Documents folders. Plus, Datto Cloud will also automatically backup photos and videos from iOS and Android devices.  And unlike other online backup services, once files are backed up with Datto Cloud, they’re available from any device: Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and the web.

Real-time backup eliminates the "backup gap"

Most people set their backup to run every 24 hours. But if an employee has spent all day working on a document and then loses a laptop, has a hard drive failure, or gets hit by ransomware, yesterday’s backup isn’t going to help. Unlike traditional solutions, which create gaps because they back-up on a set schedule, Datto Cloud backs up files in real time, every time a change is made. And Datto Cloud will keep an unlimited number of versions.

As soon as files are created or changed, they’re backed up – and instantly accessible from desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and the web. So, if data is lost, it can be recovered and restored quickly – reducing downtime and keeping employees productive no matter what strikes.

Restore to any point in time

Backed-up files can easily be restored to any previous versions in case of hard drive crashes, lost or stolen laptops, accidental deletion or mass file infection. Employees and administrators can use the restore feature to bring back files from a specific time and date.

Sync what you want with the Datto Cloud

Don’t need all those images and videos taking up hard drive space? Datto Cloud lets you pick and choose what folders and files you want to sync to your device. All your files will always be available in the cloud via the Datto Cloud web experience.

If you’re using file servers for file storage, your employees are likely struggling to access content when they’re out of the office and to share content with people inside and outside your company. SharePoint can help solve your file server dilemma.

Microsoft^® SharePoint^® can be installed on an existing Windows file server and configured to sync all or some files. It’s a great way to add mobility and collaboration to current file servers.

• Mobile access without VPN: Make it easy for your employees to find file server content without having to set up cumbersome VPN sessions. SharePoint^® provides access to critical business information from any device, speeds decision-making, and improves productivity for remote or traveling employees.
• Secure – and easy – file sharing: Eliminate the complexity of sharing file server files via FTP or hoping large email attachments don’t get bounced. SharePoint^® makes it a breeze to securely share files between branch offices and with external parties, such as clients or business partners. You can share via web links or with collaborative folder sharing for ongoing projects.
• File server backup and restore: Datto Cloud backs up file server files whenever changes are made and files can be rolled back to any previous point in time, significantly reducing the time to recover from a ransomware attack or other type of data loss.

SharePoint^® can be used to migrate data from file servers to Datto Cloud in preparation for decommissioning file servers. Or it can be used to synchronize data between file servers and the cloud on an ongoing basis to use alongside current file servers.

SharePoint^® and Office Online lets you work with Word documents, Excel^® Spreadsheets, PowerPoint^® presentations right online.

• More ways to be productive – edit files from any computer
• Save time – edit files directly in the web
• Get to work faster – create new documents directly from SharePoint^®
• Reduce data loss with automatic saving

Because Office Online™ includes many of the same features as desktop versions of Word^®, Excel^®, and PowerPoint^®, there’s nothing new to learn. Plus, for employees that work from kiosks, on different computers, or prefer the web over desktop applications, they’ll be able to do it all with SharePoint^® and Office Online.

SharePoint^® allows your people to co-edit files in real time. That means that you can accelerate work cycles with simultaneous collaboration. And of course, co-editing allows multiple collaborators to edit a file at the same time.

Changes are viewed in real-time, shortening review cycles so documents are finished more quickly. Annotated Comments keeps feedback together with documents.

Importantly, SharePoint^® works with any Office 365 business plan that includes Office Online. Current Office 365 subscribers can add SharePoint^® to backup and securely share Office 365 files and benefit from the Office Online integration right away.

In addition to file sync and file backup, SharePoint^® offers comprehensive collaboration capabilities, allowing employees to share files and folders easily and securely with people both inside and outside the company.

• An easy way to send large files – File sharing with SharePoint^® is an easy and secure way to share files, help ensure large files will be delivered through any email system and reduce mailbox size by eliminating file attachments in email. You can automatically replace file attachments with SharePoint^® links directly in Outlook or you can generate secure links from Office or through SharePoint^®. You can also password protect links and even stop sharing links.
• Collaborate on shared content – With SharePoint^®, folders are easily and securely shared with co-workers, so multiple people can access and edit the same set of content. Folder sharing saves time by not having to search for the latest version of docs or consolidate multiple revisions and shortens feedback loops. Worried about conflicts or overwrites? With SharePoint^® and Datto Cloud Continuity, every previous version is stored, and you can roll back to an earlier edit with just one click.
• Share outside your company – If you have business partners, vendors, or other external parties that need to access or edit content on an ongoing basis, you can invite them to collaborate on SharePoint^® External collaborators can add, edit, and manage content in shared folders just like internal collaborators do.
• Sharing permissions: convenient and secure – SharePoint^® offers complete control over sharing permissions. Folders can be shared with “co-owner,” “modify,” and “view” permissions. Permissions can be modified at any time and sub-folders can be shared with different permission levels.
• Share from Outlook and Office on Windows – If you’re a Windows user, you can share and manage SharePoint^® files directly from your most commonly used Microsoft desktop applications. This makes syncing and sharing fit even more naturally into the way you already work.
• Manage Content with SharePoint^® – For people who collaborate heavily, users may not want to see every shared folder in their SharePoint^® desktop client. SharePoint^® allows them to control and simplify their desktop user experience by selecting which folders to sync on an ongoing basis. Even if folders are not synced, they are always backed up and stored in the cloud and accessible via SharePoint^®.

SharePoint^® is easy and intuitive for employees to use; but that doesn’t mean businesses need to sacrifice security. SharePoint^® offers a broad range of enterprise-level security features and controls to ensure that data is protected and stays secure.

For example, businesses have full control over who has access to SharePoint^® content. Access and permissions can be edited, updated and revoked at any time. Administrators can set backup and data retention policies across their users’ computers. SharePoint^® data can be quickly remotely wiped from any device. And audit log tracks all file and folder syncing and sharing activities.

• SSAE 16 Type II-audited datacenters
• Intermedia is SOC 2 audited company-wide
• At-rest data is secured with 256-bit AES encryption
• In-transit data is secured using 256-bit SSL/HTTPS encryption
• Each account is protected with a unique encryption key
• Data can be remotely wiped from any empowered device

Additionally, strong collaboration management tools encourage ease of collaboration while they protect content. One of the challenges with file collaboration tools is that multiple people might be working with the same file or folder at the same time. SharePoint^® includes a number of collaboration and content management features to help minimize confusions, confusion that could lead to potential overwrites, conflict copies or accidental deletions.

• Co-editing and locking features help prevent overwrites and conflict copies
• Previous file versions can be restored from the web and from the Outlook plug-in
• Deleted files can be recovered and restored from the web or from SharePoint^®
• Disabled and deleted user data is retained and accessible by administrators for the life of the account

All of this is possible because SharePoint^® is built with enterprise-grade security and reliability.
