Citrix, which provides virtualization, mobility management, networking and cloud services to enable new ways to work, has expanded its ShareFile headquarters in Raleigh, creating 400 new jobs with a $5 million investment, according to the City of Raleigh Office of Economic Development and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC).

The decision to expand in Wake County resulted from months of ongoing collaboration between Citrix ShareFile, the City of Raleigh, WCED, Wake County, Wake Technical Community College, Capital Area Workforce Development Board, and the EDPNC.

Based in Raleigh, N.C., Citrix ShareFile helps businesses exchange files easily, securely and professionally. Jesse Lipson launched ShareFile in November 2005. For six years, he grew the company with no outside capital to almost 20,000 paying corporate customers and 3 million business users in more than 100 countries.

In October 2011, Citrix Systems announced its acquisition of ShareFile. Citrix ShareFile now has more than 50,000 corporate customers and 17 million users.
