Egnyte provides enterprise file services^[1] for businesses, and unlike cloud-only storage providers, it supports storage across a mix of local, private, and public clouds.^[2] This hybrid solution lets companies keep data on-premises or in the cloud, depending on how much security they need for each file.^[3]

Egnyte’s software runs on storage hardware from vendors that include Netgear, Synology and NetApp, three companies with powerful, well-established sales relationships with other companies mulling their own move to the cloud.^[4]

Some of the company's customers include: Cracker Barrel, Garda, H.D. Smith, IKEA, Red Bull, Tommy Hilfiger and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.^[5]

Egnyte currently employs more than 200 employees worldwide, and hired at the rate of two to three employees per week as of May 2014.^[6]

Industry analyst firm Ovum released a report at the end of 2014 that placed Egnyte as a market leader, noting the company is well placed for the security-focused European market.^[7]

History and Funding

Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Egnyte was founded in 2007 by a team of high-tech veterans and engineering experts, including former Valdero partners Vineet Jain, Amrit Jassal, Rajesh Ram, and Kris Lahiri.^[8]

Egnyte is a privately funded company that most recently closed its $29.5 million Series D round from investors that included Seagate, CenturyLink, Northgate Capital, and prior investors Kleiner Perkins, Google Ventures and Polaris Partners.^[9]

Egnyte also received funding in 2007 (seed round of $1M), 2009 (Series A of $6M), 2011 (Series B $10M), and 2012 (Series C $16M); total funding to date is $62.5M. The full list of investors include: Google Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Floodgate Fund, Polaris Partners, Northgate, CenturyLink and Seagate.^[10]

Management Team

Vineet Jain, the CEO and co-founder of the company, previously founded Valdero, a supply chain software solution provider. Jain was named the 2010 Storage Superstar and was recognized as a 2010 Emerging Storage Vendor by CRN magazine.^[11]

Industries Served

Egnyte serves customers in a variety of industries and has gained traction in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, naming Adolfson & Peterson, Balfour Beatty, Bowmer & Kirkland, Casey Industrial, Devcon, and PC Construction as some of the company's AEC customers that have adopted its solution.^[12]

Media, PR and Advertising companies have also chosen Egnyte's solution for its hybrid architecture, and one of its customers M&C Saatchi noted its mobile devision adopted Egnyte to get "the advantage of high-speed access locally...they can benefit with mobile phone ability to run an app, so it has improved collaboration across distances."^[13]
