Cloud computing 101 for Businesses
The disruption of cloud computing to the IT channel
benefits and features of cloud storage
what are the key benefits of storing data in the cloud?
The combination of the current economic climate and credit market and the challenge of accurately predicting future storage requirements makes the traditional model of buying storage ahead of when it is needed tremendously undesirable. With cloud storage services from ThinkGrid, you can now buy secure, highly scalable storage that can significantly reduce overall storage costs.

Customers are looking for a new, more flexible way to buy storage. The channel can offer multiple cloud storage offerings, including API-based Cloud Storage. With services delivered from our cloud storage platform, your customers can now buy secure, highly scalable storage, significantly reducing their overall storage costs, while providing you with a reliable, long-term recurring revenue stream.


Pay As You Go Pricing
Monthly rates with no long-term commitment let you optimise your cost/performance balance and return on computing investment. Pay only for the computing power you need and use.

Dedicated + Virtual + Cloud Integration
Seamless integration with your desktop or virtual server services, with unique interoperability and efficiency.

Immediate Scalability
Add storage in real time to accommodate fluctuation demands, gaining exactly the accessibility and capacity you need, exactly when you need it.

Anytime, Anywhere Data
Full data storage access, management and control is available via API, Customer Portal, dedicated Web 2.0 browser application and native applications for BlackBerry, iPhone and Windows Mobile.

Support for All File Formats
Upload, store, and instantly share files of any type or size, including documents, presentations, PDFs, web site graphics, photos, videos, music, and more.

Exceptional Security and Control
Advanced data storage, transmission, and management protocols, including 256-bit AES encryption for stored files, SSL encryption for files in transit, role-based permission management and share expiration provide the highest degree of security for protecting public and private data.

Streamlined Sharing and Linking
True collaboration tools let you securely share files with vendors, customers, family, and friends without having to move files from their stored locations. Generate public URL links to share and publish files on forums, blogs, and web sites.

Key technologies
ThinkGrid’s cloud storage service utilises:

  • FTP/NAS Storage > view
  • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) provide fast, reliable, and cost-effective storage for maximum data retention.

  • iSCSI Storage > view
  • iSCSI offers a low-cost alternative to traditional fibre-channel storage solutions, allowing access to enterprise-grade Storage Area Network (SAN) storage over Ethernet. It is easily provisioned, highly scalable (it can be expanded on demand without human intervention), and outperforms internal disks.

  • Online Backup and Recovery Tool > view
  • ThinkGrid provides automated, enterprise-class, disk-to-disk backup of mission-critical data with no downtime.

  • Snapshots and Replication > view
  • Point-in-time snapshots of iSCSI volumes can be scheduled, stored locally or remotely and later accessed to recover lost data or to compare with current data. Data on iSCSIvolumes can also be automatically replicated to multiple data.
