OmniCloud allows to store the encrypted data redundantly at multiple cloud storage providers. In this way, the availability of data will be increased.
Additionally, OmniCloud is able to store the encrypted data in the company's intranet, e.g. on a local FTP server. Combinations of both can be realized as well. That is, the data will be stored both local and at one or more cloud storage providers.
OmniCloud is able to aggregate multiple cloud storage services, each having only a limited storage capacity. That way, users may combine different offers of cloud storage providers and integrate them into the company's intranet as one big device. OmniCloud checks the fill level of each cloud storage service. As soon as the capacity of one cloud storage service has run out, OmniCloud will use another service.
Often, in enterprises the same data will be stored at different places, e.g. on multiple employee's devices. OmniCloud detects such doublings and takes care for storing only one copy in the cloud. That way, OmniCloud saves cloud storage space and therefore helps to reduce the costs for using cloud storage services.
OmniCloud allows the creation of folders for departments or project teams that may be used by the staff for data sharing purposes. Additionally, access rules can be used to define in which way an employee may access the shared data (e.g. read-only access or read/write access). From a users perspective, OmniCloud acts like a network drive when sharing data.
In contrast to many other encryption solutions, OmniCloud fits for dynamic teams and considers typical business situations like cancellation of employees and changing responsibilities. This will be achieved thru a separation of identity and key management. Thereby, substitution arrangements or similar can be easily implemented - without passing passwords and expensive re-encrypting the data.
The modular platform of OmniCloud allows to implement new storage strategies in a very simple way at any time.
