Amazon’s S3, Flex, and Rails
Alex MacCaw has just posted a screenshot of Aireo, an application that he is developing that allows you to access Amazon’s S3 data storage using a Flex/Apollo front-end and a Rails back-end. Here is a brief description taken from Aireo’s website:
Aireo in a nutshell:
- Scalable: Aireo is built on Amazon’s S3 data storage service, allowing virtually unlimited storage space for very competitive prices.
- Safe: Files have the option of being encrypted to military grade standards.
- Accessible: You can access Aireo through WebDAV, FTP, a html interface and Apollo.
- Flexible: Aireo can be accessed from all major operating systems, such as Windows, Mac and Linux.
- Collaborative: Files can be quickly referenced and passed around a company as Aireo interfaces with your email system. Files can also be collaboratively edited. On top of this, Aireo allows file sharing with people outside the company if necessary.
- Mobile: Aireo allows you to disconnect and travel, syncing your changes when you next go online. You can also access Aireo through a wireless enabled PDA.

Just to confirm, it’s only a mockup. However it’s likely that Aireo will look pretty similar – though I think I’ll be moving the file information into a separate collapsible panel on the right, and leave the bottom bar for some sort of temporary bucket for sorting assets. It’s progressing well, and I hope to have it finished in the summer – if not earlier: http://www.eribium.org/?p=80

Hi Mims,
I came across your post yesterday. It gave me a good laugh.
As you can probably guess, I tend to agree with the comments by Michael and cisnky.
Best,
Derek
