Gladinet and Bycast have jointly announced the release of a new solution which will allow storing and accessing of mission-critical data from the cloud directly from a local file system. This solution will help companies in all industries protect, manage and access the data.

Bycast's StorageGRID solution has been optimized to protect, preserve and secure large volumes of data on multi-tier and multi-vendor storage media in mission-critical environments. The processes of automation and intelligent data management offer StorageGRID users reliable access to critical data.

Organizations benefit from the migration of data to Bycast mission-critical cloud storage. This ensures complete automation and intelligent data management. StorageGRID also offers better data protection and compliance which ensures multi-site access for business continuity and automated disaster recovery.

According to company sources users can migrate data from any cloud platform into StorageGRID via Gladinet's Cloud Desktop. The cloud storage client transforms Windows Explorer into a cloud storage portal, enabling users to transfer data directly from cloud services like Google (News - Alert) Docs, Google Picasa, Google Docs for Google Apps, Windows Azure Blob Storage, and others into the enterprise-class clouds provided by the Bycast StorageGRID cloud gateway.

Franklyn Peart, SVP Business Development, Gladinet said, "Other existing cloud storage solutions can only access the cloud through a Web browser or through proprietary systems, requiring costly custom development and ruling out the use of unmodified legacy applications."

He further explained that files stored in clouds through such systems are not easily accessed or managed unless they are painstakingly transferred to the desktop.

The Gladinet Cloud Desktop and Bycast StorageGRID are scalable services which make it a safe solution for storing huge volumes of data which can be seamlessly accessed in the StorageGRID cloud directly from desktops across the organization. Users can also transfer data to StorageGRID from multiple consumer cloud services. The seamless integration between Gladinet Cloud Desktop and Bycast StorageGRID allows users to create folder- or file-based backups in its drag-and-drop interface, said company sources.

Peart added that Gladinet's partnership with Bycast makes seamless migration to mission-critical clouds possible. These features optimize the concept of cloud service which will help organizations benefit a lot when they adopt cloud services for storing their mission-critical data.
