We finally added cloud storage services to our ReliaCloud platform after a couple months of hard work. Until recently customers could only buy computing resources (cloud servers) on the ReliaCloud platform. Cloud storage is available at industry-standard rates around $0.15/GB per month.
We built the cloud storage offering on Parascale’s storage platform. The release took a little longer than expected due to delays in Parascale’s provisioning API implementation. Once we got our hands on the API we were able to bang out the code in a reasonable amount of time. One of the unique things about Parascale is that the storage is accessed using NFS. This mitigates the need for custom code or a specialized storage access client since NFS storage is easily accessible via any platform.
