That’s right, beginning today, you can test drive ownCloud free for 3 hours through a partnership with Standing Cloud. ownCloud powered by Standing Cloud gives companies the flexibility of ownCloud Business Edition, the functionality and ease of use of a hosted offering, and the choice of more than 15 leading cloud service providers, at a single bundled price for hosting and file sync and share services. Customers can get started immediately with a free, three-hour “test drive”.
As we say in the press release:
“With Standing Cloud, ownCloud customers can choose the cloud provider, data center and geography of their choice for their deployment from among a wide range of leading public cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, GoGrid, VPS.net and more. ownCloud deployments through Standing Cloud are completely portable from cloud-to-cloud, meaning users are never locked-in to a single platform or cloud provider. They can quickly add capacity or move to another cloud, and are protected against downtime and service outages.”
