Gladinet Cloud Desktop Integrates With EMC Atmos, Google Docs, and Amazon S3

To provide an Internet-based virtual disk drive

The Web has evolved far beyond browser capabilities, limiting the
usability and practicality of cloud storage and cloud services. In
response, Gladinet,
a company with a goal to transform the Internet into a virtual PC by
integrating cloud services directly onto a PC desktop, has surfaced as
today’s first ubiquitous cloud storage client.

Gladinet is unique in its field due to its open-platform integration
with EMC Atmos, Google Docs, Amazon S3 and a host of other providers.
Gladinet’s flagship product is Cloud Desktop, which provides an
Internet-based virtual disk drive. In addition to supporting the vast
array of cloud-storage providers, Cloud Desktop also allows for
cross-storage backup among such providers and using these providers as
a redundant array of cloud storage.

"Previously, each cloud storage provider has required a
different interface tailored to that particular brand, and this has
been highly inconvenient for users
," says Jerry Huang, co-owner of Gladinet. "Gladinet’s
Cloud Desktop is truly revolutionary because, as a ubiquitous cloud
storage client, it provides the same features and interface to many
cloud storage providers. Plus, the virtual drives, which are then
located on your desktop, allow for backups to a redundant array of
cloud storage, eliminating the need to rely upon one provider for backup
."

Gladinet Cloud Desktop has been the first provider of desktop
integration with EMC Atmos and EMC Atmos Online; however, its interface
also serves Amazon S3, Google Docs, Google Picasa, Box.net, WebDav
providers, FTP providers and others. Gladinet Cloud Desktop has quickly
received notable recognition as a powerful tool among reputable
industry resources and media, including EMC’s Cloud Infrastructure
Group, EMC’s Employee Blog and IDC LINK.

In a June 24, 2009 article (Storage Virtualization on Your Netbook, Anyone?),
IDC LINK author Benjamin Woo highlighted Gladinet Cloud Desktop and EMC
blogger Mark Twomey’s impressive take on this new technology’s ability
to integrate with such an array of providers and virtualize so many
cloud offerings under a single drive letter. More of Twomey’s comments
can be found at Storagezilla.

"Such esteemed recognition is exciting, and we’re honored by
the feedback and chatter we’re hearing in regard to Gladinet Cloud
Desktop
," Huang says. "As a ubiquitous cloud storage client,
this technology is an innate problem-solver that also alleviates the
common concerns of traditional cloud storage use. People worry about
what will happen with their files should a provider go out of business
and disappear, or if they set unreasonable user requirements that
prohibit access to the files dedicated on that particular provider’s
server. Gladinet Cloud Desktop addresses these issues through its
practical, user-friendly solution
."
