Members of the program will contribute storage servers and bandwidth for a test grid of dispersed storage providers around the world.
Cleversafe, Inc.,
a hosting software provider, today announced that it has launched the
Cleversafe Dispersed Storage Provider (DSP) Foundation Partner Program,
bringing together multiple hosting and access providers to build a test
global Storage Internet.
Members of the program will each
contribute storage servers and bandwidth to build a test grid of
Dispersed Storage providers around the world. In addition, program
members will be directly involved in the testing, management and
optimization of the test Storage Internet.
Eleven hosting providers across North America, South America, Africa
and Australia have joined the program
to date, including EasyStreet Online Services, FiberLink, Harbour MSP,
Hostway, Intercity, OnShore, Pocket iNet, PointClick, Softlayer, The
Planet Internet Services and ViUX.
"The
Internet began and grew when Internet Service Providers began to
interconnect TCP/IP connections. This test Storage Internet will
emulate that model by interconnecting storage resources from companies
responsible for bringing the Internet to the world," said Chris
Gladwin, CEO and President of Cleversafe.
