Cloud Storage Access Platform & Solutions
Product Brief
Seamless Access to Cloud Storage from Your Desktop
The rapid acceleration of cloud storage adoption provides ample evidence that the benefits of
cloud computing are becoming widely recognized. In addition to the broader economic benefits,
cloud storage is great for offsite backup, universal access, rapid provisioning and group sharing.
The challenge that we face is how to make the transition to the cloud as seamless as possible.
For example, how can we use cloud storage without disturbing existing workflows or rewriting
applications? The solution is to integrate objects in the cloud with existing file systems, allowing
cloud storage services to be directly accessed from the convenience of a desktop while existing
applications and workflows remain unchanged.
