To address some of your questions/comments, Nasuni’s President, Rob Mason and CEO, Andres Rodriguez put together a short video response. You can find it at the following page: http://www.nasuni.com/how_it_works/resources/51-cloud_report_q_a

Eddie, the key word here is “can”. Nasuni was designed such that the customer is the only party holding the key. In this case no one, not Nasuni or the CSP on the back-end, could ever gain access to their data. This blog post does a better job explaining how key handling impacts overall security of data stored outside of one’s “four walls”: http://www.nasuni.com/blog/20-encryption_keys_user_data_and_subpoenas

Louis, are you telling me that I can use services like Dropbox to store data on cloud and it would remain safe without anyone hacking into it. Would love to know more.

Honestly, not every one is craving for my data on my PC. But when it comes to a big network like amazon or microsoft there are a lot of people who would like to see it go down. I would not want my data to be there when it does. Right?

The main difference between cloud storage and cloud compute is the notion that cloud storage can remain encrypted at rest. If one were to generate their own encryption key, there would be no way a third party (cloud storage provider or malicious hacker) could read that data stored in the cloud.

Interesting results, thank you for sharing! To manage S3 and CloudFront easier you may check out CloudBerry Explorer freeware.
