Helios Treaty Creates Neutral File Ground
June 14, 2012
Helios just fired the web border patrol and initiated a peace treaty for neutral file ground. For decades Mac and Windows have possessively guarded their terrain making it difficult for files to cross from border to border. That is changing according to the article Helios puts spotlight on cross-platform search, the spotlight shining across the border now lights the path for synchronization.
Tom Hallinan, Strategic Partner Manager at HELIOS Software stated:
“The demise of the Xserve, and the increased usage of Macs and mobile devices in businesses, has revealed the shortcomings of the Mac-only Spotlight search from Apple, and the Windows-only Windows Search for Windows. The HELIOS Spotlight-compatible indexing and search system solves that problem.”
“Mac, Windows, and UNIX/Linux users can drag & drop project files from the web browser or local workstation into the WebShare Manager window to enable synchronization of files between the remote WebShare server and the local workstation. Automatic file versioning can also be enabled.”
Helios integrates into Windows Server, Mac OS X, Oracle Solaris, IBM AIX, and Linux, which covers all the major server operating systems. This virtual directory simplifies search by placing all this data on one individual file server, thus enabling ease of access. This is a perfect solution for businesses since the mobile device industry is becoming oversaturated. The Helios treaty designating neutral file territory came at a perfect time
