With its IBackup and IDrive online backup services, Pro Softnet Corp. in the online backup segment hosting with over 17 PetaBytes of data, and over 800,000 users.

"We needed a next generation file system and a set of APIs to access the file system that would let us scale to 100s of PetaBytes of data. We created such a system, called IBackup EVS (Encrypted Versioned File System). We redesigned IBackup, our flagship service to use these APIs. Then, we asked ourselves; why not make these APIs public so that third party developers and our partners could create custom online backup and storage solutions focused on high level of security with built-in encryption on storage with a private key option, efficient transfers and versioning support. We believe that the EVS platform can be a great option for many niche storage uses that have a need for high level of security such as Medical Data," said Raghu Kulkarni, CEO of Pro Softnet Corp.
