30 Oct ftopia and Cloudwatt offer cloud storage solutions designed for businesses

Paris, October 30 2013 – Ftopia, a global provider of Cloud-based, file-centric collaboration solutions, has become a strategic partner of Cloudwatt.

Founded in 2009, ftopia delivers file sharing and synchronization services running on AWS and Openstack-powered clouds. ftopia technology, based on open-source components, enables businesses to store and share information in a simple and secure environment, via a web application, mobile apps and desktop synchronization. The company serves about a hundred customers across Europe and North America.

Cloudwatt, a new European Cloud Computing provider founded, offers to businesses of all sizes efficient and innovative solutions for data storage and computing, with a strong focus on security, transparency and reversibility.

“Collaborative synchronization and file-sharing applications are key drivers for cloud adoption by businesses,” explains Patrick Stack, President of Cloudwatt. “We wanted to offer a solution that is innovative, professional and perfectly integrated within our secure infrastructure. This is why we have selected ftopia technology and developed a strategic partnership.”
