AeroFS provides private-cloud file syncing and collaboration for businesses. The AeroFS Private Cloud is a lightweight virtual
appliance that can be installed on-premise behind the corporate firewall using the industry standard OVA format (supported by
VMWare, Oracle VirtualBox, and others), as well as the popular OpenStack platform. By using AeroFS, the IT department is able to
maintain control over their data, audit file/folder access and sharing, and prevent accidental data leakage while still enabling and
adopting BYOD initiatives. End users benefit from the simple user experience they’ve come to expect from file syncing solutions
while knowing they are not violating any IT policies.
