• Simplified Compliance. Xi Frame provides enhanced security capabilities natively. Enable two-factor authentication for sensitive corporate applications or limit data movement outside of defined virtual network boundaries. Experts across our security, DevOps, and support teams follow strict processes to ensure the integrity of your system. We run regular penetration tests and work with third-party security specialists and infrastructure partners, like AWS and Microsoft Azure, to keep our systems safe and secure. Frame has achieved a FedRAMP In-Process designation and SOC 2 compliance certification. For U.S. government organizations handling sensitive, highly regulated information, Xi Frame supports AWS Gov Cloud, AWS C2S, and Azure Government. Elastic by Design Innovative auto-scale functionality provides the best performance for the lowest possible cost, at any scale deployment. Frame is a true pay-as-you-go cloud platform. You are charged for infrastructure that you actually use. The comparison to a traditional fixed-cost VDI model, where resources are provisioned for peak capacity even though you don't need them 99% of the time, is extremely favorable. Broad Partner Ecosystem Xi Frame is designed to work with your existing IT environment—whether on premises, in the cloud, or both—to support complex client-server applications. • Storage integration. Xi Frame gives users native access to storage services such as Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive. Access to persistent home and group folders (SMB) can also be provided in the form of personal and team persistent drives. Other existing on-premises and cloud file shares also connect easily to Frame. If enabled, users can upload and download files stored on their local or USB device via a user-friendly interface. • Network integration. Front-end user applications running in Frame often need to communicate with back-end services such as databases. VPN gateways and VPC/ VNET peering are among the options that can be used for communications to shared networks whether on premises or in the cloud. • Identity integration. Xi Frame provides native integration with modern Identity Providers (IdPs), such as Azure Active Directory, VMware Identity Manager, Google Sign-In, Ping, Okta, and others. Additional integrations can be performed using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0, OAuth 2, Open ID Connect, or custom protocols. Xi Frame leverages the two-factor authentication (2FA) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) capabilities of these IDPs. You can also connect with classic Active Directory integrated resources such as File/Print and SQL services from within Xi Frame-powered applications and desktops. | 15 Yearbook Publisher Streamlines Business Model with Xi Frame Jostens is the leading publisher of student yearbooks in the United States, serving hundreds of schools in all 50 states. Before Jostens adopted Xi Frame, supplying software to each school was a challenge. Each yearbook team had to manage its own computing infrastructure and software, often relying on the school districts' IT departments to procure and install the latest versions of Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. IT also had to manage Jostens' own software, called YearTech, that integrated with InDesign. Today with Xi Frame over 15,000 Jostens users are supported from a single de- ployment. Data is safe and secure, and there's no software to install or manage. Xi Frame enables students and faculty to: • Work from anywhere • Work on any device • Bring in data from multiple sources • Collaborate securely Learn more
