Open Enterprise Server customers: Take advantage of your Novell Filr entitlements
You know your users are storing corporate data in consumer-oriented cloud solutions, and you need to get control of that. The familiar tools like Dropbox or Skydrive may be fine for holiday photos, but when employees start using them to store corporate data…well, IT rightly gets concerned. Don’t let this problem take you by surprise: If you are a customer current on OES maintenance, you are entitled to Novell Filr.
