Etelos Launches Etelos Share – Business Cloud Hosting
After launching their apps-on-a-plane anywhere software, Etelos is back today with Etelos Share. Etelos Share is cloud storage for private business applications. The idea is that you can move your files and applications into Etelos Share and then access them from anywhere with an Internet connection.
The company describes Etelos Share as, "providing online file storage, file backup and file sharing between named users. Etelos Share is not a publishing system, but rather a business file sharing service used to manage corporate digital assets and intellectual property. Accessed as an external drive, Etelos Share is password protected with unique usernames and kept in a secure hosting environment."
The real question with this type of service is whether large companies will trust their data to a 3rd party and to a cloud hosting provider. Etelos Share looks appropriate for small to medium-sized businesses. Pricing starts at $5/month for 5GB of storage and is available through the Etelos Marketplace.
Update: another new tool out today is CloudFactory – GigaOm has a good review.
On the subject of file backup, sharing and storage …
Online backup is becoming common these days. It is estimated that 70-75% of all PC’s will be connected to online backup services with in the next decade.
Thousands of online backup companies exist, from one guy operating in his apartment to fortune 500 companies.
Choosing the best online backup company will be very confusing and difficult. One website I find very helpful in making a decision to pick an online backup company is:

This site lists more than 400 online backup companies in its directory and ranks the top 25 on a monthly basis.
