Data Management Leader Archiware Simplifies Cloud Storage Management for the Enterprise

MUNICH, Germany, Aug. 22, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Archiware, a leading provider of multi-platform data backup solutions, today opened its developer lab and released its first free product for the Enterprise. WingFS™ (file system) is a powerful, yet easy-to-use software tool to help professionals manage their files amongst multiple cloud storage services such as Amazon S3, Google Storage, FTP and SFTP.  For the first time, many of the world's most popular cloud storage services can be accessed through just one tool.

Cloud storage services are exploding in popularity in and out of the Enterprise but lack of standardization and innumerable unique interfaces make professional use more difficult than it needs to be.  WingFS allows cloud storage services to behave like a local volume mounted on the desktop.  This provides professionals with an efficient and unified way to manage disparate cloud services and technologies either in combination or individually.

"Cloud storage services are extremely popular both within and outside the Enterprise but all users have a nagging and persistent problem," said Josef Doods, Archiware CEO. "Manufacturers offer integrations for the Mac, but these are all separate products from each other.  We want to address this fragmentation problem and unify the cloud storage experience by offering one tool for all services."

Initially available for Mac users, WingFS, supports Amazon S3, Google Storage, FTP, and SFTP.  Files can be dragged to and from as well as in-between cloud services.

The free download is available on www.wingfs.com.  Archiware is also developing additional versions for Windows and Linux and will be adding  compatibility with other popular cloud services.
