Simplexo has launched ‘SearchYourCloud’ to enable users to search structured and unstructured information stored on one or more computers, handheld devices or in a cloud store, all with one click.
Based on the architecture of the ‘SearchYourDesktop,’ the application allows files to be indexed and securely searched.
The technology also enables read-only access to emails from one or more mailboxes such as Google Mail, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo Mail and other types of POP3 services.
Simplexo CTO Simon Bain said their Cloud store index enables users secure ‘full-text’ search access to their files without opening up any security threat.
"While the index allows users a ‘full-text’ search experience, it actually holds no file contents, making it very safe to use in a Cloud environment," Bain said.
"The ‘SearchYourCloud’ technology gives users the ability to search and retrieve content that is not available to traditional search engines, for example documents from your desktop computer or photos from your hand held device.
"This, combined with our unique level of security, allows people to access information that before may have been unavailable to them while travelling or working remotely.
"Our security model for ‘secure remote access’ avoids the need to establish a direct network connection between a mobile and host computer/ network. This avoids the need for extensive firewalls or network layer security as no persistent connections are used.
"It also addresses concerns associated with mobile device theft as no data or security credentials are cached on the device, meaning sensitive, corporate data is not put at risk."
