A Thru Case Study
VMware, a global leader in virtualization with 10,000+ employees, needed to consolidate file sharing for thousands of internal and external developers into a single Salesforce Communities workflow. Managing two separate portals caused slow uploads and downloads, occasional failures, and cumbersome auditing and user management, so VMware selected Thru and its Thru API to integrate enterprise file sharing directly into Salesforce.
Using the Thru API, Thru handles background transfers and storage in the Thru Cloud while populating Salesforce with metadata, providing geo-accelerated, resumable large-file uploads, granular access controls, and audit trails. The Thru integration reduced developer idle time with faster transfers, improved visibility through automatic metadata and auditing, enhanced security via encryption and data segregation, and lowered infrastructure costs by removing the need for additional hardware.
