Citrix Systems has acquired ShareFile, a cloud storage, file sharing and collaboration solutions provider, the companies announced this morning.

ShareFile enables businesses to securely store, sync and share business documents and files, both inside and outside the company, across multiple devices.

The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

ShareFile CEO, Jesse Lipson, will become VP and General Manager of the newly-formed Data Sharing product group at Citrix, which will be responsible for the ShareFile product line.

The move is in keeping with Citrix’s vision of a so-called “personal cloud” – a collection of files, apps and personal data unique to every person and accessible from any location and device.

ShareFile competed with the likes of Dropbox and Box.net, but was more focused on selling its offerings to IT departments within organizations of all sizes, rather than consumers and small businesses. Other alternatives include Egnyte, Nomadesk, Mozy and Syncplicity.

Prediction: CIUS combined with Citrix XenDesktop running on Cisco UCS will be the most rapidly adopted Virtual Desktop platform ever!

Imagine: It’s a phone, Tablet, PC (via Citrix) Wifi, 4G and a corporate owned and managed asset. Effectively the CIUS device is to  Enterprise level companies what the IPad was to the consumer market.

Applications Capabilities:

• 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, 3G/4G data and Bluetooth 3.0 help employees stay connected on and off-campus.
• HD video (720p) with Cisco TelePresence solution interoperability for lifelike video communication with the simplicity of a phone call
• Virtual desktop client (Citrix Receiver) enables highly secure access to cloud-based business applications
• Android operating system, with access Android marketplace applications
• Collaboration applications including Cisco Quad, Presence, IM and integrated, one-click access to WebEx Meeting Center

Tablet Highlights:

• 7” diagonal, high-resolution color screen with contact-based touch targets delivers an elegant, intuitive experience
• HD media station supports Bluetooth and USB peripherals, 10/100/1000 wired connectivity and a handset option
• Detachable and serviceable 8-hour battery for a full day of work
• Highly secure remote connections with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
• HD audio with wideband support (tablet, HD media station)

Get ready:

Two years old but still very true. If more customers watched this video I would spend far less time on airplanes…

“In this presentation, I focus on when you’d use TS and when you’d use VDI. It’s important to note that I don’t talk about VDI versus traditional desktops or TS versus traditional desktops since in today’s world both TS and VDI are different forms of server-based computing (SBC). So in order to figure whether TS or VDI “wins” in your environment, you first need to figure out which applications can work via server-based computing. Then you can figure out which of those are most appropriate for VDI and which are most appropriate for TS”
