<p>Siegen, Germany/Copenhagen, Denmark. With their new partnership, Auwau and PoINT present their joint solution for storage service providers. Bringing together the two products Cloutility and PoINT Archival Gateway enables providers to offer tape-based object storage “as a service”, with user and authorization management entirely on the customer side.</p>
<p>To enable customers of cloud storage services to manage users and authorizations themselves, service providers must offer a suitable user interface. Danish company Auwau has developed Cloutility, a web service that provides flexible and secure multi-tenancy: Cloud providers and their resellers and customers organize storage, repositories and authorizations for departments and users in a hierarchical structure.</p>
<p>The cooperation with PoINT enables the integration of the S3-to-Tape solution PoINT Archival Gateway into this user administration. This greatly simplifies the user-friendly integration of a tape storage class. Cloud providers can now offer a cost-effective Glacier storage class on which their customers can create users and buckets as tenants and define authorizations themselves via the Cloutility interface. Cloutility also allows the configuration of subscription-based recurring billing automation for all tenants.</p>
<p>“We are excited about this important strategic partnership,” said Thomas Bak, CEO of Auwau. “With Cloutility and PoINT, cloud providers can significantly expand their S3 offering while providing their customers with maximum flexibility.”</p>
