PROJECT CHALLENGES

The market has no shortage of cloud storage services but for every service provider one must create a different account that has to be tracked and maintained. As the cloud computing hype continues to grow, OTIXO wanted to develop a single platform which would allow users to integrate all their cloud storage services in one place thereby having the end user only maintain one single account. The client also wanted to implement global search capability so users need not remember on which drive which file has been saved.

The most challenging task for Eastern Enterprise was to craft a single interface where multiple data would be managed under one hood. The client’s main aim was to develop a single platform to maintain multiple drives where users can share files across multiple platforms.

Our solution

Eastern Enterprise investigated the needs and requirements of the client and identified areas for improvement that resulted in reduced costs, reduced maintenance requirements, reduced risk of data loss and increased security.

The solution we provided was a database structure that could handle complex metadata from JSON and proactive suggestion regarding UI/UX. We integrated multiple cloud based SDK’s with secured authentications and authorizations on the client as well as the server side. We also developed an HTTP cache mechanism for offline file storage. At the core of our solution was easy file syncing from the desktop to the cloud. As a result users could access their files from anywhere, sync data, and share files with others from one place no matter what cloud it was hosted on.

TECHNOLOGY STACK

Eastern Enterprise proposed the following technologies to easily reach the requested functions:

  • Java 7

  • Android SDK

  • iOS

  • Objective C

  • REST full Services

  • ORMlite

End result

By partnering with Eastern Enterprise, our client was not only able to tighten the security of their cloud-based platform but was also able to leverage other benefits such as:

Improved performance, enabling customers to access the data faster.

Significantly reduced costs.

Give customers hybrid multi-cloud flexibility.

Reduced the risk of data loss.

The customer was delighted to see that the application we developed perfectly mirrored their initial requirements. Currently, the Otixo application is immensely successful with 10,000+ downloads on the Google play store.
