SMEStorage Enhances Multi-Cloud Tooling for Linux Platforms

SMEStorage has launched the first GA version of its multi-cloud tooling for Linux Platforms, which was previously in beta.

The new solution encompasses a virtual cloud drive and a graphical desktop to cloud synchronization tool. ??

Businesses leveraging the SMEStorage open cloud platform can experiment with different combinations of storage clouds and access them from a Cloud File System.

This significantly simplifies changing storage clouds and the company claims it is as easy as changing file directories.

SMEStorage is making the Cloud Tools available for Debian, CentOS, OpenSUSE, and Fedora Linux distributions.

SMEStorage CEO Ian Osborne stated, "It may sound odd to think of a cloud based service on your desktop, but we are trying to blur the lines between the Web and work environments. Our mobility tools for Android (News - Alert), iOS, and BlackBerry are part of this strategy."

"As our Linux tooling becomes more mature we expect to add into it the full collaboration and file sharing capabilities that our personal cloud and business customers already use."

"You can think of our solution as 'cloud of clouds' or us as a cloud data broker in which we provide sophisticates access and additional services to the underlying data silos. These data silos are becoming more of an issue for individuals and organizations and we are seeing huge growth in the ability to cohesively access and manage this data."
