If it were easy for a simple storage company to do this, DropBox would already have been successful in the enterprise space. What DropBox and all typical storage companies lack is knowledge and experience in dealing with regulated industries and reporting, visibility, auditing, and everything else that comes with large enterprises. For this reason, I would keep an eye on Managed File Transfer vendors such as Thru who offer solutions that leverage their enterprise experience. http://www.thruinc.com/solutions/dropbox-enterprise-file-transfer/

Tappin.com is highly reputable. They were just bought out by the CuteFTP company Globalscape (www.globalscape.com)

Vaultize (http://www.vaultize.com)- an enterprise-class cloud-backup, sync and sharing is a perfect solution for enterprises enbracing “Consumerization of IT” and BYOD!

Built from the ground-up for cloud with enterprise-grade security, control and administration, it is the only solution that performs encryption and de-duplication together at source – making it the most secured cloud solution today. In addition to public cloud (hosted on Rackspace USA) it provides many flexible deployment options. Pricing is simple and transparent – flat fee “per GB” computed on the storage consumed in cloud – calculated after de-duplication and compression. And, there is no user/device/feature licensing.

BTW, I am part of Vaultize team.

I am confident that some start-up in some corner is getting ready to take on names mentioned in this blog post. Companies like primeshare.net etc are better positioned than others. @mathurabhay

And unlike Box.net, they’re not trying to replace Microsoft Sharepoint…instead, they integrate with all your existing infrastructure to be your system of file exchange.

It was specifically built for business, not adapted from a consumer model. Also, it has Citrix behind it and if you’re going to trust in the cloud, what company better to partner with?
