Product
Nexus Enterprise, was initially released in November 2011. In December 2012 Nexus was renamed as Stratos.[2]
Stratos is a client/server secure document access and collaboration application for use with mobile devices. The Stratos client is designed to establish a secure connection with the server component which is deployed behind a data center firewall, without using a VPN connection. Stratos assigned policies to Active Directory groups to allow authorized users to access, view, and annotate business documents. It also provides a built-in HTML5 web browser to access intranet hosted corporate applications. Stratos currently supports Apple iOS-based mobile devices only, an Android client is under development.
Stratos is available as a free personal edition and enterprise edition.[1][3][4][5][6]
