As Egnyte’s business and customer base grows, we have an engineering responsibility to provide data quickly and at high availability. In this blog I’ll recap one of those efforts—a proof-of-concept API caching project that serves our large folder listing capabilities and has future applications in other Egnyte services.

Co-development agreements are an important part of the negotiation process between companies that partner to develop, sell, or commercialize products and services. In life sciences, these contracts often contain sensitive data, including pharma alliance collaborations for drug treatment innovations, or healthcare software integrations to enable digital health interoperability.

Increasingly, life science companies are applying omics-based testing to clinical trials. These tests support precision medicine models for the study of rare cancers and other diseases. Genomics research tests, for example, can help account for diverse drug responses and outcomes caused by genetic differences in trial participants.

While we at Egnyte don’t think of ourselves as a storage company, the very act of storing files— billions and billions of them—is fundamental to what we do. Our customers need to secure, access, and share files, so storage is something we have to get right. Today we hardly think of what it takes to store and secure billions of these files, often taking this process for granted. It has become like the act of breathing—fundamental to existence yet rarely given a second thought.
