AT&T has gone into the cloud storage business in competition with services such as Amazon’s S3.
It said Monday that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with EMC to jointly develop and market an EMC-based enterprise-grade AT&T Synaptic Storage as a Service that’s supposed to give users control over the storage, distribution and retrieval of their data from any location, anytime, using any web-enabled device.
The widgetry, which will be available to customers this month on a “controlled” basis, makes use of AT&T’s network cloud in its two US data centers to start, expanding later to its international sites.
General availability will start in Q3. AT&T has not released pricing yet.
