SMEStorage, the multi cloud data access provider, have released the third beta of their Linux Cloud Drive which currently enables up to 10 commercial storage providers to be accessed directly from a virtual drive in Linux.
CEO Ian Osborne states, "We are really pleased to announce the third beta of our virtual cloud drive for Linux. This drive enables users to access their cloud storage files directly from their shell or Linux file manager."
"The drive brings cloud computing directly into the Linux OS with over 10 popular Cloud Storage vendors supported, including Amazon S3, Google Docs, Microsoft SkyDrive and RackSpace Cloud Files."
"Our aim has always been to make it easy to access files stored on the cloud" continues Osborne. "Cloud Storage is definitely a commodity but we find that users have files on many different clouds and often use different Operating Systems for work and for home. The Linux Cloud Drive lets users see files from many different storage clouds through a normal file system, and we view the Linux OS and community as being very important to us strategically so we are going to continue to put further investment into not just the Cloud Drive, but also direct synchronisation capabilities that work with any of the clouds that we support."
