Cloud Storage Definition and Discussion
Enables new capabilities for new and existing applications
Delivers new functionality to end users
Provides an as needed, web-scale development environment
Cloud Storage: Defined Storage accessed through Web Services APIs via a network (LAN or WAN)
Immature and fragmented, yet rapidly growing market
No standardization on the required set of APIs
A storage alternative for some use cases, not a replacement for all storage requirements
May be cheaper than other storage options, and potentially less expensive to use, with richer, end user oriented functionality
Scalable, but only if the user of the storage can easily leverage it
Enables a pay for use business model
Independent from processing, accessible thru a network
Pre-built Brandable Access Clients Open APIs for other Access Points
Services
Rapid Scalability
REST-style APIs
Storage Agnostic – connects to any Linux mountable storage
Easy Deploy ability
Connects to existing provisioning system via SPML APIs
White labeled clients to promote provider brand
Multi-user concurrent access
Multitenant deployment capability
High Security
Authentication via PAM
SSL in transit and 256 bit AES encryption at rest

This is an introduction to Mezeo Software, which ha more
This is an introduction to Mezeo Software, which has developed and is marketing a software platform – the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform for the deployment of cloud storage by service providers, including IT hosting providers, SaaS providers, VARs and managed services providers, telcos and ISPs. To our knowledge, it is the industry’s first deployable, white label cloud storage platform. It enables service providers to quickly and cost effectively enter the cloud storage market.
Service providers can use the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform and associated clients to quickly deploy a Personal Cloud™ storage online file services solution, giving their customers the opportunity to use the new capabilities for their file server needs. The company believes that mass adoption of cloud storage requires that the services be offered by service providers that already have trusting relationships with end users. Until that happens, people and companies will continue to be cautious about entrusting their data to the cloud. less
