Branded Cloud Storage for Service Providers

A fully brandable cloud storage offering

Cloud Leverage’s flagship offering, the Cloud Storage Platform (CSP), is a deployable software platform that enables IT Service Providers to rapidly enter the fast-growing cloud storage market with a multitude of high margin, differentiated cloud storage solutions. The platform, CSP, is the core of all of Cloud Leverage’s solutions.

The capabilities offered by our cloud platform - secure sharing and collaboration, support for pay-for-use pricing and billing, and Web-scale deployment - far exceed the requirements expected of a cloud. In addition, the extensibility of our cloud platform and the accompanying access clients give service providers the ability to deploy a storage cloud with either a focused or a broad market appeal. Together, these features help expand the use and applicability of cloud storage.

A well-architected storage cloud allows current applications to exploit the storage infrastructure without undergoing major changes. In support of this view, the CSP offers multiple advanced capabilities including flexible file access and flexible storage organization. These include:

Enhanced User Experience

• Multiple Access Clients (desktop & mobile)
• Advanced sharing and collaboration
• Role-based permission management
• Hierarchical storage
• Tagged-based storage/search
• Programmatic access to storage
• End-to-end encryption – SSL in transit and 256-bit AES at rest

Suitability for Service Providers

• Web Services APIs
• Ease of deployment
• Multi-datacenter scalability
• Storage agnostic
• Leverages existing authentication and provisioning solutions
• Stateless architecture
• Fully managed IaaS platform
• Multi-tenancy support
• Extensible platform that allows service providers to create additional access clients and offer new services

Compared to the base definition of cloud storage services as represented by Amazon’s current S3 offering, or Rackspace’s Cloud Files offering, a Cloud Leverage-powered cloud offers a “superset” of functionalities.

The primary function of the CSP is to allow the rapid and scalable provisioning of cloud storage solutions to customers of service providers.

Cloud Leverage can provide multiple levels of storage; providing for tiers of pricing, performance and availability. This value proposition is fundamentally different from simply deploying cloud storage capacity. The combination of Cloud Leverage’s platform and clients creates a unique opportunity for powerful and easily deployed cloud storage solutions that provide its customers with the ability to deliver customized, flexible, and fully integrated solutions.
