Ippany Cloud Extender (ICE)

Are your co-workers pushing the limits of your company’s storage? Do they want to access their files wherever they are and whenever they want? Are they starting to use all kinds of different consumer versions of online storage? Do you want them to store, share and collaborate with your company files in a secure manner?

Than you want ICE Drive for your company?

ICE Drive is a Cloud-based Drive on your computer that works as easy as all the well-known consumer online storage services but the big difference is that you are using your own private cloud storage environment and not a public one.

How do I use the ICE Drive?

Our ICE Drive is Cloud Extender software (ICE stands for Ippany Cloud Extender). You simply install our software in a few steps and the ICE Drive will appear in the file tree listing of your computer. You will see an extra drive icon called ICE Drive. That’s it. That simple.From now on you can add your content on the ICE Drive. By adding your content on the ICE Drive you are placing your data direct in your own private Cloud storage environment (based on a Caringo CAStor or a Dell DX Object Store Cloud platform). You can create, change and delete folders on the ICE Drive. Just like you are used to with the other file drives on your computer (C-Drive, D-Drive). That’s what makes the ICE Drive so appealing. It works like an ordinary file drive.

Just one extra drive, but a world of difference

The ICE Drive looks like an ordinary drive on your screen. Just another drive icon. But by using the ICE Drive on your computer you will enjoy all the benefits of cloud storage:

  • Access anywhere anytime to anyone via any (mobile) internet device
  • BYOD Bring Your Own Device friendly
  • Easy to use, no learning curve (just ‘drop’ the files in ICE Drive and share!)
  • Looks familiar (it is just another drive icon on the screen of your co-workers)
  • Security – ‘dropping’ and ‘sharing’ take all place via secure connections (https)
  • Collaboration with other co-workers is very easy
  • Sharing is a very simple process
  • Whitelabel – Rather want your company brand than the ICE Drive brand? We offer ICE Drive also whitelabelled.

Mobile working & Bring Your Own Device friendly
ICE Drive enables your organization to work in the Cloud. You and your colleagues will also benefit of the ever-increasing advantage of mobile working. Files that used to be locked up in a server in the office are now easy accessible via all mobile devices:

  • Laptop
  • Smartphone
  • Tablet

Users are no longer required to be at the office to access the information they want. This will create possibilities in flexible working from home or any other out-of-office location. Also ICE Drive allows employees and management to use the device they want to, whether it is a laptop, smartphone or tablet. ICE Drive is very Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) friendly.
