This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on May 10, 2013 at 2:48 pm
Duvon Corporation announced
the upcoming release of StoAmigo’s
CloudLocker, a personal cloud device.
It is a storage alternative for homes and businesses that gives
users privacy, security and control along with the ability to stream,
share and enjoy digital media files from multiple devices.
One of the driving forces behind the development of CloudLocker
was addressing consumer concerns about security when it comes to
public cloud storage.
Ben Ow, president and chief creative officer of Duvon, explains, "This is not cloud storage in the
way we know it today. Because the CloudLocker can be kept in the home
or office where it can be seen and touched, it is a technology that
provides peace of mind for consumers. Their digital media is securely
stored in the privacy of their home or office, yet is accessible from
anywhere in the world. I believe that this concept will change the
way we think about storing and accessing all of the digital media
that is important to us."
Ow points out that CloudLocker is the only truly cloud-based
storage device on the market today, saying: "Other devices
claim to be cloud-based, but often have complicated set up
requirements and other restrictions. CloudLocker gives users
plug-and-play set up and the easy functionality that they are
accustomed to seeing in online cloud storage services."
The product will feature 250GB of storage space and give users
access to their stored digital media via the StoAmigo web and mobile
applications. Users can access and stream stored videos and music
through their LAN to their TV, DVD player or other DLNA-capable home
entertainment equipment, eliminating issues like buffering and
bandwidth interruptions. The device can be kept anywhere there is an
internet connection and gives users benefits when it comes to
streaming and sharing their files.
"Typically, sharing consists of emailing attachments,
which really forces us to give away copies and lose control of our
media especially when they get forwarded and re-forwarded; or posting
to social media sites where our media becomes the property of the
site," Ow says.
"With CloudLocker, users maintain complete control over their
digital media at all times."
The media management system’s customizable permission settings for
sharing give users flexibility – they have the power to decide who
can view, download or share files with others. Users can also modify
the settings or retract a share completely; so that access can be
denied to anyone the file has been previously shared with. In its
Android app StoAmigo leads other cloud services offering the mobile to mobile QR code
sharing.
"We’re excited about the combination of convenience and
security that we have achieved in developing the CloudLocker,"
says Ow. "CloudLocker is a unique storage option that
provides consumers with the security, privacy and control of a
personal storage device, along with the mobility and social benefits
of cloud technology."
CloudLocker is available for pre-order, with a
projected delivery date of June, 2013.
