Sify launches cloud solution

Sify Technologies has launched Sify mystorage, a cloud-based online storage and backup solution targeted at consumers and small businesses.

Mystorage enables users to insure critical files—documents, mail, photos, videos, music, etc.—in the computer against everyday risks like virus attacks, file corruption, accidental deletion or a PC crash.

The cloud solution automatically and continuously backs up and stores the users' files in a secure cloud thus providing fool proof protection against data loss.

A file saved in Sify mystorage can be accessed online from anywhere or can be shared with friends and family easily. The service is available in a wide range of prepaid plans, starting as low as Rs 175 per month for 10 GB storage.

The solution also encrypts the users’ data before transferring the same to the storage cloud thereby ensuring advanced security.

It also comes with a special Microsoft Office plug-in which enables users to upload and backup documents directly from MS Office applications: MS Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.

''To bring cloud and thereby a host of digital services to the common man, we launched Sify mylife, India's first consumer cloud platform, last year. Now with our latest offering, Sify mystorage, an intuitive automatic backup and storage service, we wish to bring the benefits of cloud services to consumers and small business, said Natesh Mani, president, commercial and consumer business, Sify Technologies.
