GreenQloud in Iceland Introducing QloudSync

GreenQloud
announced the launch of QloudSync,
a cloud storage syncing client at GROW,
a conference that focuses on the future of innovation, growth and entrepreneurship
by bringing together technology pioneers, influencers and investors who are
finding solutions to solve the problems of today.

GreenQloud is a sponsor of the GROW
Conference and will be onsite for all conference activities.

The service is the newest of GreenQloud’s
Truly Green cloud computing services to run on renewable energy,
enabling customers to sync, store and share data such as photos, videos,
e-books and documents without leaving a carbon footprint.

All files synced are stored and updated on the
company’s clean energy-powered StorageQloud, enabling users to access their
synced files from any internet-enabled computing device, any time and anywhere
with file and folder structure. Music, photos and videos can also be played or
viewed from the web interface. It enables users to keep track of their cloud
storage usage in real time as well as their total carbon savings.

The company built the cross platform open
source application using the C# programming language and the Mono framework on
OSX and Linux and .NET on Windows.

It is currently compatible with Mac OSX
10.6+ and Windows 7, with the Linux version being released in the coming weeks.
Both iOS and Android mobile versions will be released in the fall. The source
code is accessible on GitHub.

The backbone, StorageQloud and its web
interface, feature social media sharing capabilities, allowing customers to share
any file or folder stored via QloudSync with family and friends, followers or
colleagues. Users can password protect shared files as well as set expiration
time limits on shared links. The web interface also provides customers with metrics
about the carbon emissions they’ve saved by storing their data on StorageQloud,
which can then be shared on social media.

"In
a crowded market place for storage products, we believe our QloudSync offering
stands apart for its simplicity, cost effectiveness and its commitment to
sustainability," says GreenQloud CEO Bala
Kamallakharan. "As the
consumerization of the IT industry grows in the enterprise, so does the carbon
footprint. GreenQloud’s cost-conscious and environmentally aware customers have
nearly unanimously requested a solution like QloudSync to solve the storage
problem that aligns with corporate social responsibility initiatives."

QloudSync, offered in conjunction with the
two existing services by GreenQloud, ComputeQloud and StorageQloud, supports their
goals of designing a way to use cloud while leading the IT industry to become
more sustainable.
