Cloud Computing Middleware Company Releases New Business Service Tier for Document Exchange and Collaboration for Amazon S3, Secure FTP and Google Docs

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, CloudPointe LLC announced the release of its Business Service, which is now available for signup online.  The CloudPointe Business service, which until now was only available to beta testers, is a new tier of service that adds Amazon S3 and Secure FTP storage connectors to its Basic subscription service.  In addition, CloudPointe also announced that its Google Docs connector is now available at no cost for all service levels, including the free, Basic service.

The CloudPointe service provides tools to embed document sharing and collaboration inside any website or web application, including developer integration using the underlying API.  CloudPointe offers a storage compatibility layer, allowing for remote access and collaboration with documents and files directly from business' existing storage systems, whether on FTP, SFTP, Amazon S3, Google Docs or Microsoft SharePoint.  The CloudPointe SAAS is an extension of the company's enterprise document management platform.

"Cloud and secure internet storage, such as Amazon S3 and Secure FTP (SFTP) are often considered 'developer-only' technologies due to their technical nature," said CloudPointe CEO, Andrew Schwabe.  "CloudPointe's tools add a user-friendly interface to these platforms, making them much more accessible directly to business managers for collaborative use.  The embeddable collaboration tools and API access offer rapid productivity benefits for developers and integrators."

In a recent article on Ulitzer's Cloud Computing site, Tim Negris, a veteran software industry executive and consultant, said, "Existing public cloud services for multi-party document sharing all make the same mistake: They address a middleware problem with an application solution."  He adds that CloudPointe "[provides] functions for document and file sharing, access, and versioning, independently of where the documents are stored and which programs are used to view or manipulate them."  (http://cloudcomputing.sys-con.com/node/1566134)

CloudPointe is the first cloud based middleware company that offers a SAAS based collaboration platform designed to provide intelligent document management class tools on top of low cost Internet storage as well as connectors for enterprise storage for all data types.  CloudPointe released a free -edition of the service that uses FTP storage.  More information is available on the CloudPointe website at http://www.cloudxy.com.  Follow CloudPointe on Facebook and Twitter.
