Gladinet Announces Support
for HP Cloud Services
Gladinet to offer Online Collaboration, File Storage,
Team Workspaces and Backup Solutions built on HP Cloud Services for small and
medium enterprises.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 10, 2012 – Gladinet today
announced that Gladinet Cloud is now available with HP Cloud Services (http://hpcloud.com). As part of an agreement
between Gladinet and HP, Gladinet has delivered Gladinet Cloud to be compatible
with HP Cloud Object Storage. Customers can expect Gladinet Cloud to benefit
from Gladinet’s participation in HP Cloud Services.
Gladinet Cloud leverages the power of this service to provide simple online collaboration, online file
storage, offsite backup and team workspaces. It can also seamlessly integrate
with existing local storage to create a hybrid cloud with centrally managed,
unified access.
“We are excited by this opportunity to work closely
with HP. HP Cloud Services gives us the technology we need to make Gladinet
solutions even more robust and higher quality. Leveraging the HP Cloud
Services infrastructure for the Gladinet Cloud helps provide the capabilities
that customers need,” stated Jerry Huang, Gladinet’s CEO, “and this
collaboration broadens the scope of enhancements we can provide to our
customers.”
As an example, Gladinet’s CEO, Jerry Huang,
explains that, “Attaching a local folder to HP Cloud Object Storage and
publishing its content to users, while centrally managing access controls
through a web browser highlights some of the benefits of our hybrid approach.
The hybrid storage can be accessed through drives on user desktops, network file
shares, web browsers and mobile devices. And in this scenario, the local folder
is synchronized with HP Cloud Object Storage regardless of where changes occur.
Furthermore, the data remains accessible even when internet connectivity is
lost, because we are maintaining a local copy.”
The ability to seamlessly replace traditional backup
media with cloud storage provides another example of the utility of Gladinet’s
unified approach. In this case, a third party backup application can send data
to the cloud through the existing file system interfaces, making the cloud
migration completely transparent to the application.
Gladinet Cloud has four editions: Starter,
Professional, Premium and Team, which allow different types of users to leverage
HP Cloud Services. A Starter or Professional edition user can use HP Cloud
Storage as a drive on their desktop and perform simple backups. A Premium user
can also share files, or access their storage from a web browser or mobile
client. Team use adds collaboration between team members, the ability to integrate HP Cloud Storage with local
file servers, and Active Directory based access controls.
In closing, Mr. Huang stated, “We are pleased to
expand our portfolio of supported cloud storage services and look forward to
introducing the new offering to our partners and customers.”
