Solutions for Web 2.0 Service
Providers
Give your online communities a mechanism to share large multimedia files over slow and intermittent links, leverage the wisdom of crowds to find and filter content, dramatically increase the scale and dynamism of content your service can manage while reducing IT operations and infrastructure costs.
Background
 |
A new generation of companies, such as google, salesforce.com, myspace.com, and many others, are offering their software as online services.
The value of a service delivered by a Web 2.0 company is proportional to the scale and dynamism of content that it helps to manage.
|
It also depends greatly on the algorithms that let people filter out the noise and quickly find the information they need.
A great number of Web 2.0 services are based on the idea of online communities.
People are free to form any number of communities. They use communities to share articles, content, and comments. They leverage the wisdom of crowds to sift through content and see what is important.
Increase the scale of content you can manage
With Infostoria, members of online communities can publish content directly from their laptops, desktops, file servers, game consoles, TiVo boxes, and other sources.
Only meta-data describing content is uploaded to the central server. The files continue to reside on community member machines.
With Infostoria, the volume of content managed by your service can be several orders of magnitude greater than it is now. First, it is easier for people to publish content. Second, it is easier for you to manage it.
Help people find what they need
Infostoria employs sophisticated algorithms to index and categorize content published by community members.
Given a handful of keywords, a file can quickly be located and retrieved regardless of where it is stored - centrally in the server or on one of the community member machines.
People can create their own categories by tagging content with keywords. Tags are automatically ranked. Files belonging to a tag category can be retrieved with a single click. A single tag category may contain files stored on thousands of machines.
Reduce daily operations and IT costs
Web 2.0 companies collectively spend billions of dollars each year to provision and manage the IT infrastructure required to run hosted services. A lot of this is due to the fact that they centralize storage, management, and distribution of content.
With Infostoria, you can push storage, management, and distribution of content to the edges of the network. You can truly leverage the entire Web as your platform.
Deploy Infostoria in your data center today
Infostoria was designed for scale-out deployments in modern data centers. You can install a farm of our server appliances side-by-side with the servers running your applications.
Infostoria agents can be delivered with the "toolbar" or "assistant" that is installed by your service on community member machines. Only machines that publish content need the agent. "Readers" can view and download files with any generic browser.
