Via our REST APIs, the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform offers significant capabilities, including store and retrieve, file sharing and collaboration, hierarchical and tag-based organizational structures and native multi-device client access. Mezeo takes you beyond the typical capabilities of “bulk” cloud storage providers. The Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform enables a Web-scale solution for file storage and management ready for easy integration to both new and existing applications.
SaaS and ISV providers can freely use and integrate these services into existing or new applications. With the exception of the Provisioning API, which requires administrative integration, the end user’s credentials are used to access all APIs maintaining the security of all stored content
The Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform can easily be hosted in-house, at your colo location or at your hoster. Also, Mezeo has a network of Premier Hosting Providers, who can also provide Mezeo services for your SaaS application.
A Typical Use Case:
Imagine you offered a CRM application. In addition to providing contact, activity and sales pipeline data; your customers would now have access to a virtually unlimited storage space to attach contracts, presentations, proposals, video, any file. Use your own Web interface to direct file storage requests to the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform. The files are still referenced to your contact, but with this simple step, multiple new functions are now enabled. By storing these files through Mezeo, they are also now accessible via our native Windows® desktop, from our brandable Web interface and via BlackBerry® or iPhone smartphones. Now imagine in addition to the new value-add capabilities you have just introduced to your existing customers, there is a new revenue opportunity that comes from the increased storage usage. Because of our platform’s extensibility, you now have an environment in which you can create new applications for a marketing department’s asset storage or a vertical application focused on the file sharing requirements of the real estate industry.
Our Web Services APIs Provide:
File Services
