SOS Online Backup Inc. is introducing SOS Collaborate Private Cloud, a cloud-based service that gives users the capability of creating, sharing, and modifying files together, as well as synchronizing changes from different users. The purpose of the service is to allow organizations to give their employees the same functionality and ease of use as public cloud collaboration services such as Dropbox, but in a more secure – and less expensive – fashion. By keeping it on the customer’s own infrastructure, its IT department can control access and security parameters, the company says. In particular, the service is aimed at organizations subject to regulatory environments, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
