Computex: XnBay Debuts U2 Personal Cloud Storage

XnBay Technology debuted its storage platform U2 at Taiwan IoT Expo in Computex Taipei 2017.

According to Grand View Research 2016, personal cloud storage market is expected to reach above $85 billion by 2022, thanks to the rising demand for storing and sharing personal data and beyond 4K multimedia files.

Like the domino effect, more than seven cloud storage service providers in China discontinued their free services since last year, including the well-known for a time provider which used to provide 36TB free cloud storage. This wave of closedown suggests the need for storage transfers from public cloud to private storage sector, and people now have the idea to own their private storage for permanent use. Apple recently dropped 50% of its 2TB iCloud storage plan monthly fee, which suggests the cloud storage service becomes more competitive and the idea of paying monthly fees is not appealing.

XnBay foresees this trend and provides a service like cloud solution with more privacy for consumers who do not want to upload personal files to the cloud and pay monthly charges. Unlike cloud storage services, U2 positions itself on the need for data privacy and other than that, its local storage concept also echo the rising trend of Edge Computing, which is a method of optimizing cloud computing system by performing data processing at the edge of the network, near the source of the data to process locally for efficiency and better user experience.

U2’s concept lies in incorporating image recognition technology into a user-friendly personal cloud platform. This feature helps people organize their photos by different faces, so photos can be categorized automatically and displayed by name tags easily.

Visitors from Computex like the company due to its mass storage space, XnRAID advanced data mirroring protection, tool-less design, and friendly user interface. It is with H.265/VP9 hardware acceleration engine, but not requires technical knowledge to install and learn to use. U2 is easy to access by log in via browser or App, beyond 16TB storage is at your disposal. All friends’ files from smart devices can be gathered to XnBay personal cloud storage platform by drag-and-drop, which realizes a solution for convenient and unlimited large file sharing on social media, intelligent file categorization, and 4K video streaming anywhere in the world, with no more limitation on file size, format, and the disturbing monthly fee.
