Buffalo Revolutionizes Storage Market with CloudStor
CloudStor Enables Users to Seamlessly Access and Share Their Content with Anyone, Anywhere
LAS VEGAS -- CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW -- Buffalo Technology, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of wired and wireless networking and network and direct attached storage solutions, today announced the revolutionary Buffalo CloudStor(TM) personal storage solution. Powered by Pogoplug, CloudStor goes beyond simple storage, creating a portal to freely access and share photos, videos, music and much more with anyone, anywhere through the cloud. Unlike online storage services, CloudStor has no capacity or service fees. Just plug it in, turn it on and create your free account at mycloudstor.com. CloudStor comes with everything you need to get started. You just have to be free to share.
"The consumption of digital content is rapidly moving beyond traditional channels along with how that data is stored and accessed," said Ralph Spagnola, vice president of sales at Buffalo Technology. "Buffalo's CloudStor delivers on the promise of data mobility and allows your content to be shared freely with anyone, anywhere."
CloudStor is secure because no content resides in the cloud; users own and store their files and decide what to share. Whether at home, the office or on the road, the CloudStor user experience remains the same. It looks and operates just like a hard drive inside your computer, accessible via a drive letter on PCs and as a device through Finder on Mac® computers. And with Pogoplug apps for mobile devices and easy Facebook and Twitter integration, you'll always be seconds away from your content.
"Sharing and managing digital assets have moved beyond traditional storage and are no longer confined to one computer or network," said Daniel Putterman, CEO of Cloud Engines, Inc. "Buffalo's CloudStor is the first Pogoplug device with integrated storage, and coupled with the easy-to-use interface, consumers now have an out-of-box ready Pogoplug storage solution that is free of service and data fees."
At the center of every CloudStor is Pogoplug's cloud service. The popular service connects users to their storage and allows them to freely access and share their storage anywhere in the world. CloudStor is the first and only Pogoplug device with integrated storage. Files are securely shared between people and there is no need for user setup; just email a link to your family and friends. Consumers' digital content always resides on CloudStor and the online service is only used to connect users and guests to specified files on the device.
In addition, CloudStor offers many traditional consumer network attached storage features including private share support for LAN based network sharing and pairing with the popular Torrent client, allowing users to offload the task of downloading torrent files from computers to CloudStor. Buffalo CloudStor can also stream to popular media devices, including Sony PlayStation® 3 and Xbox 360®. Plus, CloudStor has an integrated Time Machine backup system that allows Mac users to use Time Machine to backup their systems to CloudStor when at home.
