[dba-Tech] An OSS database for Dropbox

Hi Jim

We use the white label of Jungle Disk:

Very simple, very reliable, and very cheap.

That sounds very interesting.

I would be interested in hearing how you managed the process, at least in
some broad stroke. 

I have not, yet, permanently, moved any clients but am thinking of trying a
small couple of month test, like a backup or setting and data for a remote
client...like the contents under their user account. 

The security concerns me and I have been looking at routers and switches
with encryption/de-encryption firmware. Software tend to be too slow and as
of yet hardware too expensive; for just a test. Have tried a small database
but the results were inconclusive and the project has languished as real
work takes precedence.

Hi Jim

We use Amazon for file storage (backup) but I haven't used other services
for more than some tests.
Recently, however, I used an ASP.NET provider for hosting a small
Lightswitch application. Runs great but, of course, not for a limited
audience.

Amazon seems to be leading contender in the Cloud world.

Docummentation suggests they support Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, Windows with
.NET (C# and VB) and now a version of MongoDB (No SQL/Map Reduce) along with
their version of SQL Database (Amazon RDS). They also support virtual drive
drag and drop capabilities.


Have you have any experience with deploying Cloud applications?
