Accellion, Inc. today announced it is working with VMware to provide on-demand access to Accellion Secure File Transfer in the cloud via the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace (VAM). Access to Accellion Secure File Transfer will be enabled by the VMware VAM App on Demand beta feature, part of VMware’s vCloud initiative, which enables end users to simply leverage applications running in the cloud. IT professionals, developers, and email administrators can rapidly experience the ease of use and security benefits of Accellion secure file transfer via immediate access to an Accellion virtual appliance running in the cloud.
Cloud-ready virtual applications help tremendously in shortening IT evaluation and deployment timeframes. VMware VAM App on Demand will make the process even easier by providing a commitment-free mechanism for users to experience and evaluate the Accellion secure file transfer virtual appliance running in a cloud environment. Using a simple login, users will be able to run a free trial version of the Accellion virtual appliance deployed in the cloud.
Through the course of security audits, companies are being made aware of the urgent need to address vulnerabilities related to data transfer. “Accellion’s file transfer solution helps businesses avoid data leakage at the file transfer source by providing a secure and compliant means for transferring large digital files,” said Yorgen Edholm, president and CEO of Accellion. “Participating in VMware VAM App on Demand will enable us to expand our reach by allowing VMware customers to experience first hand the security benefits and ease of use associated with Accellion managed file transfer in the cloud.”
“VMware VAM App on Demand was designed to significantly simplify the evaluation of an application for users by allowing them to select an application and deploy it in the cloud, without incurring hardware and set up costs,” said Wendy Perilli, director, product marketing, VMware. “As one of the initial appliances offered during the beta roll-out of this program, the trial and adoption rate for the Accellion Managed File Transfer Virtual Appliance on Demand has been impressive.”
