What are some non-American & reliable cloud companies?
- _delirium 13y agoDepending on what kind of cloud services you're looking for, Jottacloud (Norway) is vaguely like Dropbox. Exoscale (Switzerland) is roughly analogous to AWS.
- sschueller 13y agoI would be careful with Exoscale. They are using two datacenters from Equinix which is a US based company spending hundreds if millions in new data centers in Switzerland. In addition Exoscale states: "The datacenter company guarantees us that no data shall be stored outside of Switzerland." Which would indicated that they do not own their own hardware. That would mean Equinix owns it. I do not trust Equinix and it is scary how many data centers they operate in Zürich alone now. I wonder where they get all that money to build them? NSA?
- eropple 13y agoExoscale is much more like Rackspace Cloud than AWS. Which is unfortunate. A real AWS alternative would be nice.
- herokusaki 13y agoHow is your experience with Jottacloud?
- _delirium 13y agoI haven't tried it yet, mostly because of the lack of a Linux client. They claim they will ship one in 2014, though. They give you an interesting choice between pricing models (http://www.jottacloud.com/prices/ http://www.jottacloud.com/prices/). Besides the conventional pay-for-space model, they have another model where you get unlimited space but pay per linked device, $6/mo per computer and $1.70/mo per mobile device.
