The Problem Storage users need redundancy file/data loss short-term outages Vendor lock-in 3 rd -party Software needs to support multiple storage providers

Storage users need redundancy

file/data loss

short-term outages

Vendor lock-in

3 rd -party Software needs to support multiple storage providers

The Solution? API abstraction layer No 3 rd -party lock-in Multi language support Accommodates custom business logic Supports multiple AJAX clients

API abstraction layer

No 3 rd -party lock-in

Multi language support

Accommodates custom business logic

Supports multiple AJAX clients
