[Ann] virtual clouddrive

[Maarten Koopmans]

Http://www.virtual-clouddrive.org Data emancipation for the rest of us. Feel free to ask for help - this is important to me on a moral level.

Based on Voldemort for the metadata stores that actually protect you. 

Enjoy,

Now I hope people start using it.... Truely, I think it is good to
have an option out there that is OSS and allows the benefits of cloud
storage, while not requiring you to hand over the contents. All that
goes into a blob store like S3 is a an AES encrypted blob with a GUID
as name.

Interesting. I read through README and tutorials, but unfortunately
could not quite figure out what exactly this is offering. I understand
s3 functionality, as well as Voldemort.
So what does Cloud Drive itself adding above and beyond simple
key/value storage?
(what was included seemed to mostly focus on what is needed to deploy
the system, but I think even before this is it is important to know
why one would want to test drive the system)

I would love to have something that offered features close to S3
itself (and beyond 'simple' ke/value stores); like ability to do range
queries (on top of which a file system abstraction can be layered
naturally) and maybe key/value attribute metadata.

Apologies if I missed some obvious part of documentation. But I think
it is REALLY important to explain what is being offered; most
developers will spend at most 2 minutes reading the first page, and
give up if it's not crystal clear what is there.

Good luck to this initiative.

For S3 with eSafe + collaboration + range queries + folder structure
+... please just have a look to our own announcement.

I removed it from this thread not to pollute Maarten!

Glad to see interesting projects show up based on Voldemort!

This is awesome. Good luck !

[Maarten Koopmans]

Just saw this. Nice. It is good to have both commercial and open
source alternatives here... That creates a market!

Also good to see different players in the same area but with different
goals, models and architecture cam up to the same conclusion regarding
the dynamo ring.

Time to organize a conference :-) !
