HOUSTON, Nov. 17, 2008 – The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting, today announced limited availability of its new highly scalable and on-demand storage cloud service. In an industry first, The Planet has merged on-premise storage performance with cloud storage capabilities, which opens a whole new world for companies to extend their hosted environments directly into the cloud. By combining two products into a single offering, customers gain additional benefits, including free uploads to the local node and a single policy-driven account to manage all file-based storage needs.
