Gladinet Introduces Google Docs Backup to an Array of Cloud Storage
Google Docs Backup service extends the offerings of this unique, ubiquitous cloud-storage client
LAKE WORTH, Fla., August xx, 2009 — The two biggest concerns for cloud storage users are reliability and security. They want the assurance that data entrusted to another company is always available and safe. Cloud storage companies take these concerns seriously and invest significant resources in measures which enhance security and reduce the possibility of system failures. However, in spite of their best efforts, there's still the possibility that their entire system could fail and leave clients no way to access their data. In response, Gladinet (http://www.gladinet.com/
Introduced with the recent release of Gladinet Cloud Desktop version 1.2, the new feature gives the ability to create an automatic backup of Google Docs files to a redundant array of cloud storage by specifying a Google Docs source account, a cloud storage target, and a monitoring interval. You can also specify whether you want to use a designated folder (called a drop box) or backup all files. If you choose to use a "drop box", any files moved to it will automatically get backed up to Amazon S3, EMC Atmos, Box.net, or whichever service is selected. Otherwise, all files in the specified Google Docs account will be backed up by the monitoring thread at the specified interval. In either case, backups are incremental and will just copy the changes.
"Version 1.2 also introduces several other enhancements to Gladinet's unique open-platform integration with a host of service providers," says Jerry Huang, co-owner of Gladinet. "These include a brand new virtual directory manager, significant usability and stability improvements and a more user-oriented distribution of features between the free starter edition and the professional edition." As a whole, these features succeed in making Gladinet's intuitive desktop integration of cloud storage even easier to use.
These enhancements, particularly the Google Docs backup, are examples of Gladinet's desire to leverage its ubiquitous cloud storage client for Windows which is based on an open-platform integration with Google Docs, EMC Atmos, Amazon S3 and many other providers. "The platform has been providing users with the ability to create a redundant array of cloud storage which can be used to backup the data on their PC or provide external storage that is seamlessly integrated with the desktop," says Huang. "The new Google Docs backup service is a natural extension that takes the company one step closer to its goal of transforming the Internet into a virtual PC by integrating cloud services directly onto a PC desktop."
Furthermore, these changes give users the peace of mind that comes from increased redundancy and reduced dependence on the reliability or robustness of a single provider. It also provides the flexibility to switch providers without having to worry about moving a large amount of data all at once. The bottom line is that Gladinet's software puts users back in control of their data.
