Benefits
- Scalable, dynamic storage. Use as much or little as you want and only pay for what you use.
- Manage files through our online control panel or programmatically through our REST API. Access through Jungle Disk is coming soon, too!
- Store files as small as a few bytes or as large as 5GB.
- Serve files publicly at blazing speeds through Limelight Networks CDN technology.
- Add additional metadata along with each file you store.
How Cloud Files works:
Step One: Upload your data
Cloud Files supports any static content up to 5 GB in size—from backups to images to video files. You can add new content to Cloud Files through our online control panel or programmatically through our API. Since the amount of data you can store is unlimited, Cloud Files is a great solution when the amount of storage you'll need is difficult to predict.Step Two: Everything's automatically replicated
Cloud Files provides data redundancy by replicating full copies of the data across multiple computers in multiple zones. Zones within our data centers are physically separate from each other, reside on different power supplies/generators, and have separate Internet backbone providers.Step Three: Limelight brings your data to the world
In a move that's an industry first, Mosso has announced plans to tie Cloud Files directly into LimeLight Networks, so all your content can be distributed to hundreds of endpoints across the world—without any work on your part. That means your content will be delivered using the same CDN technology major media sites use to offer amazing rich experiences for video, music, and more. (This feature is coming in November.)About Limelight's CDN Technology
Limelight's content delivery network works by caching your content across thousands of servers spread all over the globe. When a user requests a file on Cloud Files, the file is pulled from the "edge server" that's closest to the user's location. This worldwide caching layer radically speeds up delivery and ensures availability.
Limelight Networks has direct connections to more than 800 networks around the world. And since most of these "edge connections" use superfast 10GigE technology, your content is delivered in the fastest way possible—in most cases, straight to the networks your audiences use every day and bypassing the often-congested public Internet.
