Storage Cloud

Storage Cloud Provides Scalable On-demand Storage

High performance storage with global redundancy and regionally optimized access

Our storage Cloud is quite simply the best price and performance platform available. When combined with a hosted server, this unique offering combines the speed and flexibility of onpremise Network Attached Storage (NAS) with the global access and the usage-based billing capabilities of a cloud storage product. All hosted servers are well connected by a world-class network to the Dallas Storage Cloud node which provides you with unprecedented performance from a cloud storage platform.

Not only is the performance exceptional and the price competitive, with replicated storage nodes in five cities spread across three continents, Storage Cloud is the only high-availability geographically redundant cloud storage platform on the market.

Storage Cloud Benefits

Fast, on-premise storage at great rates with cloud capabilities

With low pricing starting at a per GB cost, discounts increase as you use more. Other hosting companies routinely charge much more for equivalent NAS-type products. This on-premise storage is also accessible “via the cloud” which reduces server resource utilization and the need for a separate cloud account. Bandwidth charges are incurred only for outbound transfers – all uploads to Storage Cloud node are free.

Get your data closer to your customers

Offers the industry’s only geographically distributed cloud storage platform or Storage Delivery Network (SDN). If you have a storage-intensive business or Web site, data transfer speeds can be dramatically improved by storing data closer to the user. With storage nodes across the U.S. and in both Europe and Asia, we make it easier than ever before.

Simple management and integration

With a single account for managing your hosted environment and cloud storage platform, Storage Cloud provides an integrated experience unmatched by other hosting or cloud storage providers. The standards-based Storage Cloud platform supports CIFS, NFS, FTP and HTTP, as well as an extensible API streamlining integration.

Cost effective disaster recovery, backup and archiving repository

Get data off your server and out of the data center to protect against all types of disasters, from human-error to loss of network connectivity and everything in between.

Storage Cloud Infrastructure

We have partnered with Nirvanix, the premier global cloud storage platform provider to add a storage node directly on the Nirvanix Storage Delivery NetworkTM (SDN) inside one of the Dallas data centers. The SDN is a global cluster of storage nodes that intelligently stores, delivers and processes storage requests in the best network location, providing the best user experience in the market place. With the ability to store files in multiple geographic nodes, the SDN enables unparalleled data availability for developers, businesses and enterprises. Storage Cloud’s geographic reach can be further expanded by integrating with Content Delivery Network (CDN) which dynamically caches your data on fourteen nodes around the world.

Our billing philosophy – no hidden fees

Usage-based billing promises lower, more equitable charges for services used, but users are often surprised when their vendor presents them with complex, larger-than-expected bills that are inflated by hidden charges. With this in mind, we have created a simple utility billing model for the Storage Cloud that measures only the core aspects of an online storage service: capacity and bandwidth. This ensures the model is easy to understand, and means no surprises at billing time.
