Bitcasa Launches Infinite Drive in UK and Europe

More than 24PB of user data under
management around the world – On its quest to ‘kill the HDD,’ Bitcasa
Inc. offers unlimited storage and ultimate privacy

Bitcasa launched its Infinite Drive in the UK and Europe with
support for 10 languages and local UK and Euro currencies. Bitcasa is
also unveiling a new
mobile design along with performance updates that improves
usability.

For £7/€8 per month,
consumers can store and access infinite amounts of photos, videos,
music or share files without having to worry about capacity
constraints. Bitcasa infinite storage is available on iOS,
Android,
Mac desktop,
Windows Desktop,
Windows
RT and the Web.

Tony Gauda, CEO and co-founder,
Bitcasa, explained: "Instead of having a HDD, imagine if you
could install software that acts as a virtual HDD but literally never
runs out of space, and you can instantly access and share that
content on any device you own.  By 2016, the
average household will increase its digital content from 464GB
to 3.3TB. Bitcasa is solving this capacity challenge
with its Infinite Drive, which provides no limits when it comes to
keeping your precious content safe and secure, including family
photos and videos, work documents or your entire media
library–gigabytes no longer matter."

Tony added: "With the addition
of international languages and currency, as well as a beautiful new
mobile design we are redefining the storage experience for consumers
around the world."

Since its US beta launch in 2011,
Bitcasa’s global user base has been growing steadily – 30% of its
users are already based in Europe, with 5% of those in the UK. To
support the European market, Bitcasa has also added a data center in
Ireland to ensure fast file upload and streaming performance.

The Infinite Drive solves the problems
of storage shortage, data loss, and trapped user files:

• Infinite Storage: Users will
  never run out of space no matter how many photos, songs or films they
  have. Users can also reclaim space on their devices by moving big
  files off to Bitcasa.

• Vault Security: With client-side
  encryption, all files are encrypted before it leaves the PC. Not even
  the team can view user files.

• Fast Sharing: With a ‘Send to
  Friend’ web link, recipients can click to start streaming any song or
  video, or view entire photo albums of any size – gigabytes no longer
  matter.

• Time Machine backup: Automatic
  backup requires no effort on your part and ensures all your files are
  protected and have time-machine versioning.

• Simple Mobile Streaming: All
  files can be accessed on any device via a browser or Bitcasa app.
  Pick your song or video, and it is streamed to your mobile device.
