Rackspace Cloud Files vs. Files.com

Cloud Files provides a comprehensive online object storage solution that enhances the swift distribution of files and media through a worldwide content delivery network (CDN). Users can easily store an unlimited number of files, including those that are quite large. The intuitive and well-integrated CDN guarantees that your public content—such as images, videos, audio files, and even web technologies like HTML, JavaScript, and CSS—is delivered from numerous edge locations globally, thus reducing the distance to users for faster accessibility. This decrease in distance significantly boosts the speed at which content is delivered to the end-user. Furthermore, Cloud Files seamlessly integrates with various third-party applications designed for object storage, including Cyberduck, Jungle Disk, and FireUploader. It is particularly effective for hosting static websites, enabling users to serve blogs, corporate brochures, and small business sites directly from Cloud Files while taking advantage of the global CDN features. Once a container is activated for CDN, the associated media files receive a web-ready URL that can be conveniently shared, ensuring quick access for users. In conclusion, the CDN not only accelerates content delivery but also streamlines the management of online resources, making it an ideal choice for both individuals and businesses. This dual functionality of speed and ease of use makes Cloud Files a valuable tool for anyone needing reliable storage solutions.
