ANNAPOLIS, MD--(Marketwire - April 21, 2009) - South River Technologies, Inc.
(SRT), an innovator in secure file transfer and collaboration software,
announced today a technology partnership with ParaScale, a cloud storage software
company. The partnership provides a complete standards-based solution for
accessing data in the cloud.
SRT's WebDrive, a Universal File Access client, facilitates access to files
on remote servers. ParaScale's Cloud Storage (PCS) software enables
companies and service providers to build large storage clouds that can be
accessed remotely, offering customers cost and security benefits. WebDrive
creates an intuitive access point to files stored in ParaScale's storage
cloud. Both companies have standardized on the WebDAV protocol to
facilitate access and collaboration on important business data, while
adhering to common internet standards.
"As cloud computing architectures evolve, it is imperative that vendors
focus on standards at all levels," said Daniel Sholler, VP of Research at
Gartner. "These include web standards, middleware standards and
communication standards."
WebDrive provides intuitive access to cloud storage. "We conducted
significant testing of numerous WebDAV clients and found WebDrive to be the
most stable, high-performance, feature-rich option available. Within
ParaScale, we have found it extremely useful for backing up our personal
Windows laptops, including Vista-64 machines, to our internal cloud," said
Cameron Bahar, founder and CTO, ParaScale, Inc.
The complete solution is available immediately through ParaScale resellers.
