Ever get the feeling that soon there’ll be so many clouds we’ll never see the sun again? Well, here’s another one.
It’s called Metacloud.
After quietly starting early last year it’s just hit the radar, turning up with an undisclosed investment from Storm Ventures and – according to Wired –former Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang’s AME Cloud Ventures.
That makes some sense since Metacloud is headed by Steve Curry, who spent a dozen years at Yahoo managing its global storage operations, responsible for hundreds of petabytes of content and user data.
The other folks involved are émigrés from Ticketmaster, the third largest e-commerce system in the world, including Metacloud CTO Sean Lynch who was head of technical operations there.
