Nextiva Drive Offers Secure Cloud Storage and Real-time Collaboration

Any business today worth its salt knows that mobility is one of the primary keys to success. Modern employees are seeking jobs that offer remote access and flexibility—whether it is for working from home or continuing business seamlessly while on the go. The bring your own device (BYOD) movement has brought personal smart devices into the enterprise fold, making it a more connected business landscape than ever before. But how do companies ensure that employees can access everything they need, wherever they are?

Cloud storage is becoming an increasingly popular solution, as it allows companies to house software solutions, internal and shared databases, and more through a service that is scalable and more affordable than onsite storage. Storing information in the cloud also gives remote workers complete access to the same data and solutions as their in-office counterparts. This creates a wide net that includes everyone.

Recently, business VoIP and virtual PBX provider Nextiva announced the launch of Nextiva Drive, a cloud storage and sync service that gives virtually universal access of company tools and information to all employees. Because it was designed to be compatible with all desktop and mobile platforms, any user can access business files remotely. Using Nextiva Drive, businesses can also set up secure data backup with built-in file encryption and a redundant data center. The added security of Nextiva Drive includes unique passwords for SSL protocol, as well as protected files based on a user's desired level of security.

"As the business world becomes more dynamic and teams are scattered across cities, states and countries, it is more important than ever to have a secure cloud backup and storage system," says Nextiva CIO Josh Lesavoy. "Our goal has always been to provide customers with products that increase productivity and efficiency of their businesses. Nextiva Drive is the latest addition to our expanding suite of communication and collaboration services."

Bringing together diverse and geographically dispersed workforces is easy with the right tools. One of the most notable perks to Nextiva’s hosted storage solution is its real-time sync feature—which means that users can save and sync files from any device, and share them with coworkers in real time. This facilitates a more natural pace for collaboration, making business teams stronger no matter the distance.
