How Cloud Storage Changes Companies

ReliaCloud Storage provides flexible storage and cost effective solutions for a today's business challenges. Below are a few of the many solutions ReliaCloud Storage offers businesses.

Enable Advanced Storage for High Flexibility and Infinite Scalability on Demand

Cloud Storage Defined: Cloud storage is storage accessed over a network via Web Services APIs. Cloud storage provides a high degree of flexibility in use and scale. Because it is often delivered over the Internet, cloud storage inherently includes an element of latency and thus is not an ideal fit for Tier 1 storage. However, for Tier 2 and Tier 3 type storage, cloud storage offers the best mix of affordability and scale.

ReliaCloud Storage partners the flexibility and scalability of cloud storage with the ease of use and economic advantages can now do so easily and economically. ReliaCloud APIs enable much more functionality for applications and storage. Secure file sharing, collaboration, notifications, publishing via URLs, hierarchical and tagged file organization and end-to-end file security are just some of the advanced features that ReliaCloud offers. ReliaCloud REST APIs also enable easy integration with existing applications and enable multiple cloud gateways via programmatic integration with other cloud enabling solutions such as backup and archive.

Backup and Archiving

Cloud storage provides a cost-effective means to backup and archive critical data for disaster recovery, business continuity and compliance needs. Using full data encryption (with SSL in transport and AES at rest) proven solutions from partners and with REST APIs, ReliaCloud storage provides organizations the ability to quickly and cost effectively deploy data protection solutions.

Temporary Storage Requirements

Application development and other project-based activities have short-term requirements to store large amounts of pre-production data. Cloud storage provides an ideal solution to meet these short-term requirements. ReliaCloud Storage will only bill for the actual storage used -- without any minimums or contracts. When the project is complete, the data can be stored as is or deleted -- allowing the cost of the storage to be directly expensed to the project.
