They're not very expensive and they offer what they call an "ELC" (enterprise local cloud) or "OLC" (office local cloud). The way it works is you store the files in their datacenter and you can use their elc/olc clients effectively as a caching mechanism that is sync'd with cloud contents. This happens in such a way that anyone in your office/datacenter can access files from a common interface/api without having to saturate your 100meg pipe by fetching the same file multiple times.

This is actually the solution I'm looking at now. Plus, I like the fact they have an API we can hook in to. On a side note: I'm very surprised by the immaturity of the responses from a lot of the slashdot community.

Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Cloud Service on a Budget? 3

MadC0der writes: We just signed a project with a very large company. We are a computer vision based company and our project gathers images from a facility from PA. Our company is located in TN. The company we're gather images from is on a very high speed fiber optic network. However, being a small company of 11 developers, and 1 systems engineer, we're on a business class 100mb cable connection which works well for us but not in this situation.

The information gathered from the client in PA is s 1½mb .bmp image, along with a 3mb Depth map file, making each snapshot a little under 5 megs. This may sound small, but images are taken every 3-5 seconds. This can lead to a very large amount of data captured and transferred each day.

Our facility is incapable of handling such large transfers without effecting internal network performance.

We've come to the conclusion that a cloud service would be the best solution for our problem. We're now thinking the customer's workstation will sync the data with the cloud, and we can automate pulling the data during off hours so we won't encounter congestion for analysis.

Can anyone help suggest a stable, fairly price cloud solution that will sync large amounts for offsite data for retrieval at our convenience (nightly Rsync script should handle this process)?

What would you use for this solution? Would be better off going with a Amazon type service?

Need some expert advice that has dealt with a similar situation before.
