CentreStack transforms traditional file servers into cloud file servers

EMC Atmos Storage is great if you are a developer looking for a storage solution for your applications or if you are an enterprise that is willing to rewrite your applications to work with the new protocols for cloud storage. But what if you just want to access cloud storage from your desktop with your existing applications?   In that case, you need Gladinet Cloud Desktop .

Gladinet Cloud Desktop also provides backup management services which make it easy to backup important files to Atmos Storage.

This challenge is often met with the  purchase of more and more servers with more and more disks. This creates a data management nightmare which is not only unwieldy but expensive. It is also unsustainable. Fortunately, there are solutions in the cloud.

Sounds good, but it introduces another problem: it may not be so easy to upload your existing data which may be stored on FTP servers, WebDav servers, and a variety of other file servers.
