Citrix acquires ShareFile

Trade

Citrix Systems today announced it has completed the acquisition of cloud storage and collaboration company ShareFile.

Citrix delivers ‘follow-me-desktops’ and ‘follow-me-apps’ to more than 100 million users, across a variety of business and consumer devices. With the acquisition of ShareFile, Citrix is adding ‘follow-me-data’ capabilities to its portfolio, allowing business users to access documents and files from anywhere, share them across multiple devices and collaborate with colleagues.

Mark Templeton, president and CEO, Citrix Systems, said: "This is a highly strategic acquisition that enables Citrix to deliver all three of the critical components for the personal cloud: collaboration, apps and data… Our follow-me-data strategy means data will be shared across people, across apps and across devices. As customers and partners build on this platform, they will be able to easily add follow-me-data services to their software, leverage the data that other apps store there, and instantly inherit all the management, mobility and scalability that’s in the ShareFile infrastructure."
