Users can upload any document, video, audio, image or scanned document and the technology will organize it for them automatically.
Cloud storage provider Zoolz announced the launch of its data storage platform, Intelligent Cloud, which joins the company’s suite of cloud backup and disaster recovery services for home users and businesses.Users can upload any document, video, audio, image or scanned document and the technology will organize it for them automatically.Other features include the ability to search by content, so if users can’t find a file, simply enter a word or a phrase and the technology will provide all the relevant results.Users can even see the sentence it’s used in--much like a search engine—and Zoolz has also built optical character recognition (OCR) into the platform, which will convert any scanned document and image into searchable data. "The amount of data being generated is growing. By 2020, it’s estimated that 40,000 exabytes will be produced. Dealing with this amount of data will be complex," Muayyad Shehadeh, CEO of Zoolz, told eWEEK. "Right now, there isn’t an adequate solution that can help businesses deal with this growing problem. We also live in the age of the instant access, so we wanted to strike the right balance. So, we created an intelligent cloud that can not only help businesses structure their unstructured data, but also give them instant access." A user can upload any video file (SD, HD, 4K, 3D), and the company’s technology will automatically transcode the file and then create an optimized version that is available for viewing.Zoolz will also store the original video file on Cold Storage, and the company offers a frame-by-frame preview, as well as the ability to share videos to any computer, tablet or smartphone."Users want instant access. The explosion of data is making it harder for users to find their data quickly," Shehadeh said. "We wanted to change that. The aim of our intelligent filters is to make discovering data easier for everyone."Intelligent filters mean that when anyone uploads an image to Zoolz Intelligent, the technology will extract all the metadata, giving users the freedom to search by quality, camera type, location, date, size and footage length--users can even search by dominant colour in photographs."Zoolz Intelligent resides on Amazon AWS, We have multiple data center locations in the US, Europe, Australia and Japan. Any data stored in these regions comply with country regulations," Shehadeh explained. "We use multiple layers of security such as HTTPS connection. All data stored on the platform is encrypted with AES-256. We also offer MFA authentication for users."
