Mosso, a US based and RackSpace backed hosting company, has recently announced the launch of their Cloud Storage beta. You can register at their website and the beta is free.
The CloudFS’ main features are:
- Scalable, dynamic storage. Use as much or little as you want and only pay for what you use.
- Straightforward, basic design offering one level of containers (non-nested) for your data.
- Per-account container and file namespace (not a global namespace as with other systems).
- Store files as small as a few bytes or as large as 5GB.
- Add additional metadata along with each file you store.
Prices have not yet been announced, but the press release talks about $0.15 per Gigabyte storage, which is similar to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
The full press released is included after the jump.
Wuala, the Zurich, Switzerland located and Peer-To-Peer Technology based online hard drive and file sharing company has announced the immediate availability of additional online storage as a payed option. The price range is between 15 EUR/25 USD for 10 GB and 640 EUR/1000 USD for 1 TB.
But do not worry, the team assures that Wuala is free and always will be free. And you still can trade your local harddrive space for online storage. If you need an invite, please let me know. I love to invite you to this unique storage and sharing solution.
In other news Wuala has announced the launch of the public beta this summer (rather soon than late ;-)). This is an important step for the team and will open up their service to a much larger audience. With the public beta there will also be an online file viewer which allows you to share your files, images, documents and movies with friends and family without them having to install the Wuala software on their computers. This feature is long awaited and is very much appreciated, not only by me.
