EMC expands Atmos for cloud service providers

The EMC Atmos Cloud Delivery Platform (ACDP), announced Tuesday, adds a host of modules that will allow Atmos customers to turn the storage product into a storage-as-a-service platform without having to write their own metering, management, utilization and billing modules.

ACDP can be used by Atmos customers to offer cloud archiving, backup, collaboration and other storage-as-a-service solutions to customers. By using ACDP, says EMC, Atmos customers will be able to cut the time it takes them to deploy cloud services via Atmos from months to "a matter of days".
