Remember Minority Report and the cool way in which Tom Cruise used computers. Or Harry Potter with its video embedded in newspapers?
It’s here – and will cost less than $350
We obsess a fair bit about user interfaces & usability. This TED video from MIT’s Media Labs just blew our mind. Check it out. I promise you’ll be impressed.

Some time ago, we’d written about David Chappell’s talk on Windows Azure, and why it was different. I’d also mentioned that I’d share the slide deck once I got it from David. Here it is.
(the ppt is cued to slide 27 which is where the fun stuff begins – the comparisons with other platforms. As we said earlier, the ‘neutrality’ with which this was presented was refreshing)

We’ve been talking to the folks at Caringo for some time now, and have been playing around with each other’s products at our respective labs. We’re now glad to ‘formally’ announce our alliance! A detailed press release can viewed here and a ’solution page’ explaining the joint solution in more detail is available here.
If you’re short on time, here’s a summary:
You can now store your (backed up) data in your own Cloud or clustered storage using Caringo CAStor. With the help of CAStor you can convert any in house x86 hardware to a clustered storage device. Storage clusters can be built on blades, towers, PCs and servers.
The integration of Vembu and Caringo technology delivers a robust online backup solution for service providers and distributed organizations looking at data protection for remote office locations.
You’ll be seeing a lot more of this – StoreGrid supporting leading cloud platforms. We launched our Amazon ready solution recently, and will be announcing another couple of partnerships very soon; watch this space!
Meanwhile, here’s a brief video that explains some more about the “StoreGrid+Caringo” solution…

Vembu StoreGrid announces the production release of StoreGrid Cloud AMI, a virtual appliance for backing up to StoreGrid running on the Amazon Web Services (EC2 and S3).
Simply put, this means that you can start or expand your online backup business with StoreGrid running on the Amazon Cloud computing service (EC2) and store backup data on the Amazon Cloud storage service (S3).
Unlike other backup players that use Cloud services primarily for storage of the backup data, StoreGrid leverages the computing cloud offering of Amazon (EC2) along with the storage service (S3) to create a powerful backup platform for service providers.
Along with the production release of StoreGrid Cloud AMI, we believe that innovative Cloud based technologies targeted at MSPs will have an impact on the economics of the managed services marketplace.
With its promise of cost savings and ‘pay-for-what-you-use’ pricing, the Amazon Cloud is an irresistible platform for MSPs, VARs, ISPs and hosting service providers to offer managed services like online backups. With StoreGrid Cloud AMI running on the Amazon Cloud, starting up cost-effective, dependable and versatile online backup services has never been easier!
