ScaleUp is announcing today the launch of a Germany-based secure cloud storage solution, much like that of Amazon S3, hosted in its Berlin cloud data center. This new offering will allow ScaleUp's customers to take advantage of the low cost & flexibility of cloud storage. It offers compatibility with the familiar S3 API, but with no data leaving Germany, and is supported by the comfort of working with a German-owned provider."
As the first cloud computing provider to launch in Germany, ScaleUp Technologies understands the privacy and security demands of German customers better than most. Throughout the past year of building its cloud service offerings, the company has worked to ensure that all practices were in full compliance with the German Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, or BDSG).
In an effort to bring a new level of trust to cloud computing & cloud storage, ScaleUp will be working with security leaders to ensure it exceeds all privacy & security compliance issues. According to Scott Sanchez, a cloud computing privacy and security leader, “Organizations that are concerned about security, privacy and compliance must find a cloud provider that goes beyond just making claims or saying 'trust us' and actually provides the transparency needed to satisfy your auditors and help you sleep at night”. Mr. Sanchez goes on to say... "Ultimately, the responsibility for keeping data secure and compliant is the data owners, not the cloud providers. However, the providers that will be the most successful in the long run are the ones that work together as a true partner on security and compliance with their clients - building and operating the cloud platform with shared goals and objectives."
ScaleUp spent many months reviewing storage technology providers before deciding upon Scality, the developer of massively-scalable object storage software for email and cloud storage applications.
“Scality's technology and team expertise made us feel very comfortable that we could meet the security needs of our storage offering,” said Christoph Streit, ScaleUp's CTO and Co-Founder. “And, this partnership also allowed us to launch the ScaleUp storage solution for only 0.10 € / GB / mo ** – less expensive than even Amazon S3 for a comparable service!”
