Connectria (News - Alert) Hosting, a provider of cloud hosting, dedicated server hosting and custom hosting services, launched the Connectria Cloud Storage, a secure storage service that can accessed over the Internet and is compatible with Amazon S3.

The company claimed that its service is more reliable and affordable and is capable of scaling up or down accordingly to storage needs. Connectria asserted that it understands the importance of delivering and supporting integrated, end-to-end cloud hosting solutions for customers and also realizes that all cloud environments are not right for everyone. That’s why it has built the most complete AND flexible cloud solutions using the widest array of technologies available today.

Connectria Cloud Storage is compatible with Amazon S3 and is designed to deliver a more secure and reliable solution at a lower price point. It makes use of an Amazon S3 Compatible Application Programming Interface (API) that can blend seamlessly with any software or tool that works with Amazon S3 – enabling present Amazon S3 customers to seamlessly integrate data to the Connectria cloud storage.

"We are delighted to announce the availability of Connectria Cloud Storage," said Rich Waidmann, Connectria President and CEO. "It's quick, easy and affordable, with costs that are a fraction of the price of SAN, NAS or data backup solutions. We believe Connectria Cloud Storage is an excellent complement to our current hosting services and a compelling alternative to Amazon S3®."

Some of the notable features of the Connectria Cloud Storage are: Amazon S3 compatible for easy migration; proven architecture built to be more reliable; secure and compliancy guaranteed; inexpensive straight forward pricing; exceptional support; and more.

The company added that the Connectria Cloud Storage is a highly secure solution, ideal for those with audit or compliance needs for HIPAA Compliance, SOX Compliance, PCI (News - Alert) Compliance, SAS 70 Compliance, or SSAE 16 Compliance. All data is securely stored within Connectria’s SAS 70 Type II Certified data centers and, unlike other providers, its architecture ensures that users always know where their data is stored.
