Hewlett-Packard has launched a file storage service for users of its Autonomy WorkSite document management software that it promises can be more helpful than consumer-focused hosted file services.

“With consumer-grade services, you can’t govern what’s out there and often you are not sure about security,” said Dan Carmel, who is the head of enterprise content management strategy and solutions for HP Autonomy.

The LinkSite service synchronizes files on an internal WorkSite deployment with an HP file storage repository accessible from the Internet, making internal files available from outside the corporate firewall. All files inherit their read and write permissions from their in-house counterparts.

WorkSite is HP Autonomy’s document management suite, which can be used to index and store corporate files. Autonomy acquired the company that created WorkSite, Interwoven, in 2009. Autonomy itself was acquired by HP in 2011.
