Backupify, a provider of online backup, archiving and export services for cloud-based data, has launched the private beta of CloudSight Search.
CloudSight Search is a unified search and archiving service for cloud computing and allows users to locate data across multiple cloud services and to analyse, download and restore items to their original location.
The new offering supports Facebook, Twitter, Google Apps, and other services managed by Backupify. It provides a search interface for locating data across all services and filtering results based on keyword, by date, and by service type.
In addition, the CloudSight Search spans all cloud services to give users quick access to the information they’re looking for, whether it is stored in a Gmail message, in a Flickr photo comment or on a Facebook Fan Page.
This allows items to be displayed, by priority, in real time, allowing the user to view, download or restore them to their original location, said the company.
Further, CloudSight Search offers data management capabilities that solve critical problems encountered by the increasing amount of corporate data moving to the cloud.
The service gives social media and compliance professionals an automated audit trail of customer-facing corporate online communications across all major social media and cloud platforms including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Gmail.
Backupify co-founder and CEO Rob May said though emerging social search engines are exciting, they only let you locate information – not restore it if it was deleted or view it if your cloud service is unavailable.
May said, "CloudSight Search from Backupify is the first service of its kind that gives you the ability to not only find information across the social sphere, but also interact with, and restore it when necessary."
