CloudBerry Explorer to Manage Files in S3 as They Would on Local Computers

CloudBerry Lab released CloudBerry Explorer an application that allows users to manage files in Amazon S3 storage buckets just as they would on their local computers.

This new version offers support for Gemini Technologies (now Cloudian, Inc.)’ Cloudian Cloud Storage solution.

Cloudian is an S3 API compliant, multi-tenant, multi-datacenter cloud storage platform that enables cloud service providers and enterprises to cost-effectively deploy scalable and reliable object storage services within public and private clouds. The platform leverages commodity servers and offers a distributed and peer-to-peer architecture with no single point of failure.

The solution scales from one node up to hundreds of nodes across multiple data centers, supporting petabytes of data. Cloudian also provides a user interface for both end user applications as well as administrative functions, including billing, monitoring and provisioning.

CloudBerry Explorer allows end users to accomplish simple tasks without special technical knowledge, automate time-consuming tasks to improve productivity. The new version helps users manage Cloudian storage just as they manage Amazon S3. Users can upload files to Cloudian, create buckets and folders and perform other management tasks efficiently.

"Our Cloudian solution is all about accessibility, scalability and affordability, while offering unmatched performance and security," said Giorgio Propersi, GM, Gemini Technologies. "CloudBerry Explorer is a great tool which reflects the same principles and goals as Cloudian. We are pleased to see it help even more customers adopt our leading cloud storage platform."

CloudBerry Explorer is designed to work on Windows 2003/XP/Vista/2008 and Windows 7. Microsoft PowerShell command line interface allows advanced computer users integrate Amazon S3 storage access with other routines.

"Cloudian is one of the most powerful and accessible storage solutions on the market today," said Aleksey Serkov, CTO, CloudBerry Lab. "We are pleased to meet growing customer demand by helping companies of all sizes adopt and manage Cloudian regardless of their technical expertise level."
