Vaultize Announces Simplified and Transparent Pricing for Enterprise Cloud-Backup, Sharing and Synchronization

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) January 12, 2012

Vaultize (http://www.vaultize.com) has announced simplified and transparent pay-as-use pricing for its enterprise-class cloud-backup, sharing and sync solution without any device or user licensing.

Enterprises are charged flat US$ 1 per GB every month on the amount of storage consumed in cloud, computed after de-duplication and compression. Vaultize performs smart and content-aware de-duplication across all users in an organization which can reduce the cloud storage requirement by as much as 90%. For businesses subscribing to less than 100GB the pricing is US$ 1.2 per GB.

There is no other cost no device and no user licensing. That means businesses can deploy Vaultize client software on any number of devices across any number of users. Also, there is no need to buy high storage quota for every user which otherwise gets underutilized or gets utilized with non-critical data.

“While other cloud backup solutions charge customers on the size of the data on their devices, we are very transparent and fair in pricing. We charge only on the amount of storage consumed by the customer in cloud post de-duplication and compression, and thats it, said Anand Kekre, CEO and Co-founder of Vaultize. Also, we neither charge any user or device licensing fee nor make businesses buy large amount of storage per user unnecessarily. So even if our price per GB looks higher, our customers will eventually have significant savings.”

Our smart de-duplication and compression provide up to 90% savings in cloud storage. According to Ankur Panchbudhe Co-founder and CTO, For a business of 1000 users with 10GB average data, if there is a 80% saving from de-duplication and compression, we will charge only for 2TB and not on 10TB.

Vaultize last month announced Group Sync Dropbox-like file sharing and synchronization across users with enterprise-grade control and centralized administration. With simplified pricing, businesses can securely share files with outside party without having to pay anything extra.

Vaultize also offers flexible cloud deployment options for enterprises. Enterprises can choose any public cloud provider and geographical location for their Vaultize deployment. Additionally they can choose to deploy Vaultize in their own private cloud, data centre or in a virtual private cloud.

About Vaultize:

Vaultize (http://www.vaultize.com) is a flagship product from Anoosmar Technologies a privately held and bootstrapped company with registered office in Pune (India). The co-founders Anand Kekre (CEO) and Ankur Panchbudhe (CTO) come with technology leadership and executive management experience working previously at IBM, VERITAS, Symantec, Reconnex and McAfee before starting this venture. They together hold 72 US patents.

Vaultize is the first backup solution designed from the ground-up specifically for cloud with enterprise-class SLAs, features and returns on investment. It was formally launched at INTEROP Mumbai in September this year. It was named in the select list of Most Promising Technology Startups of 2011 from India by the countrys largest startup platform Pluggd.in.

Media Release: Twitters Biz Stone: Humor Is A Powerful Mechanism For Delivering Truth

Trevose, PA (PRWEB) January 12, 2012

Twitter co-founder Biz Stone in an interview Tuesday suggested cultivating a fun work culture while keeping a healthy sense of humor even as you work at changing the world.

Humor is such a powerful mechanism for delivering truth, said Stone during an interview with ASI Radio. Its a great leadership tool, a great way to break the ice, a great way to get people to tell you what theyre thinking about without it being scary or formal. Invariably, something true comes out of that.

Stone, named one of the Most Influential People in The World by TIME magazine and Nerd of the Year by GQ magazine, shared business tips and dished on a visit from a Russian president and who would play him in a Twitter movie during a wide-ranging interview on ASI Radio, the on-air voice of the promotional products industry.

Stone, co-founder of micro-blogging site Twitter, did the interview in advance of a keynote hes giving February 3 at an ASI trade show in Dallas titled A New Landscape for Communicating and Doing Business.

To listen to the entire radio interview, click here.

Stone said he worked for years before Twitter on the idea of an open exchange of information having a positive impact. I saw a rudimentary tool and thought, I could build something on this. Instead of one to one, one to many. And that was the beginning.

His two biggest mistakes after co-founding Twitter with Jack Dorsey and Evan Williams were not being ready enough for success and failing to communicate enough. If you want to have relationships outside, with investors or anyone, communicate like crazy, he said on ASI Radio.

He got his first inkling of Twitters success at a 2006 South by Southwest festival when a guy at a crowded bar tweeted a new location and by the time it took eight minutes to walk there, a line was out the door. Hed done something that had never been done organized people on the fly to move to a specific location. Suddenly, we had the flocking ability of birds moving in flight. I couldnt think of any technology that allowed humans to do that. This was a party. What if it was a disaster?

Stone predicts the blogosphere will get even bigger and more interesting in the next two years. The blogosphere is changing fundamentally, he said. The idea of the blogosphere is now. I think you can expand the definition. Any page created on the Internet from Twitter to Instagram becomes part of the blogosphere.

On corporate cultures, Stone likes it fun and team-oriented. I like people to have autonomy. Be really creative. Be open to ideas. I dont like people who say no right away. At Twitter we have a very fast-growing sales culture, but were also open to really new, crazy ideas. Its an emergent phenomenon.

Stone said he cant imagine a Twitter movie and envisions the story of its founding instead as a bad series on CW. Rainn Wilson the egomaniacal Dwight Schrute on The Office once told Stone he could play him in a movie. Or, Stone said, We could mix things up and make it Bill Cosby.
