It's been just a few weeks since we released an updated version of CloudBerry
Explorer for OpenStack Object Storage . In this release we are adding an
ability to edit Http Headers for files. To run the Http Header Editor select
a file and select Set Http Headers from the context menu. The Http Headers
dialog box will come us. With this tool you can see the list of all existing
Http Headers, edit and remove headers and add the new ones. What’s next One
thing that have been left over in the first release is that ability to
configure RackSpace CDN. This is going to become available in the next
release. As always we are going to gather user feedback and incorporate it
into the product before final release. In addition we are going to
support self signed SSL certificates for those who roll out OpenStack Swift
in their test environment We are also going to implement ... (more)
We have previously provided a Quickstart guide to standing up Rackspace cloud
servers (and have one for Amazon servers as well). These are very low cost
ways of building reliable, production ready capabilities for enterprise use
(commercial and government). And Bryan Halfpap has provided a Quickstart
guide which shows you how to build a Hadoop Cluster (leveraging Cloudera’s
CDH3). Using Bryan’s guide you can have a Hadoop Cluster up and running
in under 20 minutes.
With this post we would like to provide you with some additional tips that
flow from these other posts. We will s... (more)
You may have seen Amazon’s announcement of the AWS Storage Gateway beta

integration through APIs is not a process businesses will easily embrace. The
deeper implication is that gateways facilitate the adoption of cloud storage
as an alternative to on-premise or off-premise traditional storage, helping
Amazon tap into a large multi-billio... (more)
With 9th Cloud Expo - Cloud Expo Silicon Valley - still in full swing at the
Santa Clara Convention Center in California, what is being said about the

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the beta of their new storage
gateway functionality that enables access of Amazon S3 (Simple Storage
Services) from your different applications using an appliance installed in
your data center site.
With this beta launch, Amazon joins other startup vendors who are providing
standalone gateway appliance products (e.g. Nasuni, Certa, etc) along with
those who have disappeared from the market (e.g. Cirtas). In addition to
gateway vendors, there are also those with cloud access added to their
software tools such as (e.g. Jungle Disk that access... (more)
