Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform Offered as a Complementary Service for OpSource Cloud Users, Speeding Enterprise Adoption and Bringing Compelling New Services to ISVs
| Source: Mezeo Software
HOUSTON, TX and SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - December 16, 2009) - Mezeo Software
(www.mezeo.com), the leading provider of a deployable platform for Cloud Storage, and OpSource™, the leader in Cloud
operations, today announced that OpSource Cloud™ will offer the
Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform, enabling OpSource Cloud users to enjoy online
sign-up and immediate provisioning of cloud storage service, speeding
enterprises' cloud deployment and offering flexible, secure storage
options to help ISVs differentiate themselves. OpSource Cloud, which
combines the availability, flexibility and community of the public cloud
with the security, performance and control that the enterprise demands, is
in public Beta and available for on-line purchase by the hour from www.OpsourceCloud.net. The Mezeo
Cloud Storage Platform will be available to OpSource Cloud users in the
first quarter of 2010.
"Cloud Storage is one of the key elements of Infrastructure-as-a-Service
and one of the fastest growing uses of the cloud," said Treb Ryan, CEO,
OpSource. "Mezeo provides the security, performance and advanced
functionality to address the Cloud Storage requirements of both our
Software-as-a-Service ISV and Enterprise clients. We are pleased to bring
this important complementary service to our customers."
There are a number of OpSource Cloud use scenarios in which dependable,
secure storage access can make a true business difference. For example,
small to medium business users can avoid the costs of investing and
managing expensive file servers or VPN access to centrally stored data.
With a minimal investment, users can keep business critical files safe and
disaster proof, and everyone has the ability to access, share and
collaborate. In addition, many SaaS and ISV providers are in need of a
Cloud Storage solution for their SaaS application, and the Mezeo Cloud
Storage Platform will enable them to enhance their offerings with
additional capabilities; including store and retrieve, file sharing and
collaboration, hierarchical and tag-based organizational structures and
native multi-device client access. In addition, to differentiate
themselves, Service Providers want to offer customers a variety of advanced
Cloud Storage services such as backup, cost, geo-location and outstanding
performance. OpSource Cloud, combined with the Mezeo Cloud Storage
Platform, will offer Service Providers the flexibility to add advanced
features as well as to integrate with their existing service offerings.
"Hosting providers focused on building new cloud offerings are quickly
realizing that the true value of the applications and the compute power is
achieved via the dynamic and frictionless provisioning of data and its
subsequent ease of access," said Antonio Piraino, Director, Hosting & Cloud
Services for Tier 1 Research. "Managed service providers need to implement
flexible interfaces for the management of stored data, making the cloud
services as agile and versatile as the compute resources themselves. We
expect cloud storage to continue its upward trend in the new year."
The Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform is a software-only, deployable solution
with REST Web Services APIs for
programmatic access to storage. Mezeo's integrated security features
include Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for data in motion and 256-bit
AES encryption for data at rest, ensuring maximum protection. With Mezeo,
application developers and Enterprises will be able to securely access
their OpSource Cloud Storage via REST Web Services APIs, WebDAV and other
methods with a pay-for-use financial model; bringing great flexibility,
security and ease to Cloud Storage adoption.
"We are excited by OpSource's selection of Mezeo for the Cloud Storage
component of OpSource Cloud," said Steve Lesem, President and CEO, Mezeo
Software. "OpSource's leadership in the cloud space and their keen sense of
the requirements for a successful Cloud Storage service offering further
validates that the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform is a perfect fit for
Service Providers who wish to quickly and cost-effectively enter the Cloud
Storage services market under their own brand."
Organizations seeking the flexibility, security and scalability of Cloud
Storage can now do so easily and economically, using their own hosted and
branded Cloud Storage offering powered by the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform.
With capabilities that far exceed those found in other Cloud Storage
offerings, the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform enables advanced features such
as secure file sharing, collaboration, notifications, publishing via URLs,
hierarchical and tagged file organization and end-to-end file security.
The Mezeo business model includes a Cloud Storage Readiness team to ensure
a rapid and successful Cloud Storage service launch and a revenue model
that is driven by shared success.
