CTERA Networks’ Mezeo Ready Appliances Enable Affordable Hybrid Cloud/On-Premises Storage, Sharing and Backup for Mid-Size Organizations

AUSTIN, TEXAS, July 20, 2010 – Mezeo Software™ (www.mezeo.com), the leading provider of a deployable cloud storage platform for service providers, today announced the addition of CTERA™ Networks (www.ctera.com) as a Mezeo Ready Solution Partner.

Mezeo Ready service providers can now extend their cloud offerings with CTERA’s Cloud Attached Storage solution, which uses customer premises appliances as cloud gateways for backup and remote access services managed via the CTERA Portal.  The CTERA CloudPlug™, ideal for single office, home office and branch locations, is a small plug computing device that transforms any USB or eSATA hard drive into network-attached storage (NAS) with integrated online backup.  As a Mezeo Ready solution, the CTERA CloudPlug and CTERA’s larger 2-bay appliance, the CTERA C200, seamlessly connect a user’s local network to Mezeo-based storage clouds for secure remote file sharing, synchronization and remote access.

“The growing virtual workforce and the constant need for service providers to deliver value-added services to users have put secure remote file access, storage and backup capabilities on center stage,” said Steve Lesem, President and CEO of Mezeo Software. “CTERA delivers much needed reliability and storage flexibility to the SMB market via elegant and easy-to-install appliances, making them an ideal Mezeo Ready partner.”

The event exhibits open on Tuesday, July 20, and attendees can stop by Mezeo booth 337 to see a demonstration of the CTERA CloudPlug.

“CTERA has designed its technology to cater to the operational needs of service providers while supporting a heterogeneous cloud infrastructure, so we are excited to team with Mezeo Software, who is also a leader in this space,” said Liran Eshel, CEO of CTERA Networks.  “The CTERA and Mezeo solution provides mid-market-focused service providers a seamless and affordable cloud storage solution for their customers.” 

Launched in June, the Mezeo Ready Program is designed to make it easier for customers and service providers to find and deploy Mezeo Ready solutions. The Mezeo Ready community is comprised of a wide-range of service providers, developers, cloud gateway providers and technology partners all focused on delivering Mezeo enabled cloud storage solutions.

With a cloud storage service powered by Mezeo, service providers increase average revenue per user and customer loyalty through advanced cloud storage solutions built with both the end user and the service provider in mind.

“The Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform enables telcos to leverage their core strengths and existing assets to deliver branded, scalable and secure cloud storage offerings that differentiate them from competitors and deliver true value to their customers,” said Steve Lesem, President and CEO of Mezeo Software. “To remain competitive in the coming decade, telcos must move beyond their role as connectivity providers and position themselves as an integral part of the value chain. We make it easy for telcos to quickly come to market with their own cloud storage solution.”

The Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform is an easily deployed software-only platform that enables service providers to quickly enter the market with a competitive and attractively-priced branded cloud storage solution.  Purpose-built for service providers, the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform is a highly scalable and multi-tenant solution with anytime/anywhere access via multiple white label access clients (including desktop, Web and smartphone).  The Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform offers end-to-end encryption, support for a pay-for-use pricing model, and REST Web Services APIs for programmatic access and enablement of advanced services and applications.  The Mezeo Ready program provides service providers a complete portfolio of complementary partner solutions to expand their service offering, including storage, file systems, cloud gateway and backup and archive.

IIR’s Telecoms Cloud Services Summit takes place June 17^th and 18^th at the Hallam Conference Centre in London.  The Summit is among the first cloud services events specifically tailored for telecommunication and communications service providers. The event will examine the external forces – exponential increases in data volume, the associated costs of managing that data, and technology advances that have made the cloud secure, accessible and reliable – that are spurring cloud adoption. In addition, the event will explore the various emerging cloud service models that enable telcos to create new and sustainable revenue streams.
