A virtualized storage and streaming platform created by Sparkweave helps companies take advantage of “private cloud” technologies. The service is targeted to businesses with regulatory compliance and security issues that may be reticent about using public cloud offerings. The Sparkweave platform is designed to simplify infrastructure and control internal use of consumer products, while providing “anywhere” data access and collaboration. Central to the system is a storage environment that Sparkweave says will reduce storage requirements by 50 percent.
