These attributes ensure optimal performance while guaranteeing complete IT peace of mind.

"Companies are increasingly seeing value in a unified cloud platform for their enterprise that includes secure file sharing and unified communications," said Arthur Chang, CEO of PanTerra Networks. "PanTerra Networks' SmartBox file sync and share integrated with the company's CloudUC unified communications service is the ideal solution for mid-market enterprises.
