Pro2col appointed resellers for Files2Links

Pro2col has announced their appointment as EU resellers for Files2Links, an integrated hardware and software solution for sending, receiving, and securely sharing large files.

The Files2Links 100/1000/3000 Series Appliances are, says Pro2col, virtually out-of-the-box, ready and installed in less than 30 minutes.  This large file transfer solution integrates with Microsoft Active Directory, and is painless to administer. By maintaining an auditable log of every transaction and ensuring compliance with industry regulations such as HIPAA, GLBA, and Sarbanes-Oxley, Files2Links guarantees the security and integrity of confidential information during transit.  Designed to be implemented as an FTP replacement for sending and receiving files via email attachments, the Files2Links appliances are claimed to include mission-critical features that standard FTP solutions lack such as backup, disaster recovery and anti-virus protection, at no additional cost.

James Lewis (pictured), Managing Director of Pro2col commented, "Inadequate FTP server solutions have an adverse effect on the efficiency of large file transfer, unnecessarily increasing IT overheads and wasting time spent administering servers.  The shortcomings associated with FTP solutions such as a lack of both encryption and auditing capabilities and its ongoing maintenance, mean it is unsuitable for large-scale deployment in modern businesses.”

This web-based hardware appliance enables secure file transfers via email attachments using SSL encryption, with the benefit of an intuitive web-based interface for monitoring, managing and ongoing administration. According to Pro2col, it is simple to deploy and extremely easy to use, and, once installed, users can start sending and receiving files without the need for software installation and with minimal need for training or IT support.

With a list of key features including unlimited file sizes, Active Directory Authentication, contact management, group file sharing, branding and customisation, automated alerts, notifications and delivery receipts, Files2Links is claimed to be the ideal file transfer appliance for any large organisation with a need to send and receive files, securely and efficiently.

The Files2Links solution has a range of pricing options available, tailored to suit the requirements of both SMB’s and large corporate organisations. Demos can be arranged both online and on-site and if you require any further information, contact the Pro2col Sales department on 0870 250 2220.
