OxygenCloud wants to solve corporate end-users' file management problems with cloud storage. To date, the latter has been used mostly by developers creating applications, not by corporate IT to address end-user file management. Thus, the company says cloud storage lacks easy end-user access, security, and the IT admin tools needed for corporate deployment.
But OxygenCloud is out to change that, by way of a company file network that brings all storage clouds the company uses — public and private — to the desktop of the corporate end-user.
From an intuitive desktop interface, users can access any file, in any cloud, as if it were in local storage. These files can be shared with anyone, including external users, within an encrypted and secure environment.
A spinout of LeapFile, OxygenCloud describes itself as a "cloud storage broker." Its customers can store and secure their files using any cloud provider. Its service combines these multiple public and private
clouds into a single synthetic cloud, allowing users to balance their cost and performance requirements. Here's my interview with Peter Chang, CEO, shown at left in the photo, with Alex Teu, director of business development.
