Founded in Austin, Texas, FileCloud currently has operations in the USA, Brazil, Dubai, India, and the Philippines serving the Enterprise Content Market for hyper-secure file and document sharing, collaboration, and data governance.
The company, which offers powerful file sharing, sync and mobile access capabilities on public, private and hybrid clouds, currently serves 3,000+ enterprise customers in over 90 countries, including Global 1,000 enterprises, educational institutions, government organizations and managed service providers.
The expansion of FileCloud’s European presence demonstrates the company’s commitment to Europe, the Middle East and Africa where organizations and governments are growing more hesitant to store their content in the public cloud and are expressing an interest in a self-hosted and compliant Enterprise File Sharing and Content Collaboration platform.
FileCloud choosing to establish its headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Asia and Research and Development Centre in Limerick is further proof of the city’s attractiveness for cutting-edge technology.
Newly elected Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, Cllr Francis Foley welcomed the major announcement made by FileCloud, which will create 50 positions over the next two and a half years.
“We know how attractive Ireland is generally as a location for foreign direct investment, but Limerick is right up there as one of the leading destinations now, which has been illustrated across the first half of the year with a number of exciting investments. This one by FileCloud is another very positive commitment,” Mayor of City and County Cllr Francis Foley commented on the announcement.
“FileCloud operates in a high-tech area and the fact that it is coming to Limerick speaks volumes about the talent pool here and the all-around competitiveness of the city and region. Its CEO, Ray Downes, talked about the excellent ecosystem here for companies that want to fast-track growth plans and much of that is down to the pro-business and collaborative approach that has emerged here over the last decade.”
“We have a really successful formula here and it’s delivering fantastic results for Limerick and the region. Part of that formula is that we work closely with companies investing in the region and our focus now, therefore, is on making sure Limerick delivers for FileCloud so that this investment is a really successful one,” he added.
