SMEStorage Announced 50,000 Users of SMEStorage CloudDav

Vehera LTD, who trade as
SMEStorage, announced that over 50,000 users are now using their CloudDav feature,
which adds WebDav over any storage Cloud, to edit documents on the iPad and
iPhone from iWork and other WebDav ready document editing Apps.

CEO Ian Osborne said: "Many
iOS Apps may not directly support Storage Clouds such DropBox, BaseCamp, Amazon
S3, Google Drive, SkyDrive, RackSpace etc., but do provide support for WebDav
access. Apple’s own iWork App which encompasses Pages, Numbers and Keynote is
classic example of this.

"This prevents users from
directly opening, editing and saving their documents using these tools. What
CloudDav does is add a WebDav protocol adaptor to these Clouds so users can
directly edit and interact with them using Apps that provide support for
WebDav, such as iWork.

"Also, If users have many
different cloud accounts, they don’t need to log into ten different servers, or
create 10 different profiles, to access and manage or edit files, it can be
done by simply switching directory when logging into the SME Cloud File System,
which federates access to over 35 Storage Clouds."

He finished by saying: "CloudDav is just one of the protocol adaptors we support. We also add
support for FTP and the Amazon S3 protocol above any Storage Clouds, whether it
is natively supported or not. Also, due to the ability we have to federate
Clouds, we can provide a nice capability for users to be able to nominate a
backup cloud to a primary cloud for direct Cloud to Cloud backups. Our Cloud
Appliance and Cloud File Server business users often take advantage of these
features to back up in-house data Amazon S3, or even to make local storage
appear to be Amazon S3 storage."

The CloudDav feature is free to users who purchase the iSMEStorage
iOS App from the Apple App Store, or it is a one-time purchase of $5 from the
SMEStorage website for users who open a free account that gives 5GB of free
storage plus the ability to WebDav enable 3 other clouds.

Cloud File Server or appliance hybrid cloud users also
receive the CloudDav feature for free.
