Telefónica and eyeOS, company which collaborates with Telefónica in R&D projects, present the 2.0 edition of the eyeOS web desktop. This free software product, created and leaded from Spain, already counts with 28 communities of users in the whole world and has already been downloaded more than half a million times.

The new desktop's edition has new functions, such as the strengthening of collaborative work between users, and has more powerful, complete and solid applications, which integrate with the cloud computing concept and convert it in a real free software alternative.

This version allows, in a easy and intuitive way, sharing files, calendars and agendas between users, at the same time it makes work easier through any office automation program (text editor, spreadsheets...). Furthermore, the desktop has improved its performance to an internal level to support a bigger load and be quicker.

As free software product, eyeOS makes easier for the user to install the program for free in a server under his/her control (be it its own or having contracted it from a third party) and prevents loss of privacy and confidentiality, which happens when you store your file in the big companies' servers.

Through the navigator of any computer or mobile phone, the user can access, modify his/her files (photos, music, films, documents, presentations...) and see them as he/she left them the last time he/she accessed, regardless of whether he/she is at home or in any other place, as all the information is stored in the Net.

The bet of Telefónica for cloud

Telefónica, as leader in the ICT field, is based on the Cloud Computing model as evolution to continue to offer the best services in a more efficient way.

The Telefónica offer is adapted to the specific needs of each market segment, whether they are SMEs or big corporations or homes. During last year the operator launched in Spain, under this business model, "Terabox" an storage online service which will be exported to other regions, as well as "Aplicateca" an aggregation and applications' self management environment, oriented to SMEs. In addition, Telefónica works in the best Hosting y Storage solutions for big companies, offering services on Cloud adapted to their needs.

Project Nuba

Furthermore, Telefónica I+D leads Nuba, a Plan Avanz@ project, whose objective is the development of key technologies in the building of cloud computing platforms that will allow the provision of infrastructures as a service.

Inside the program, the operator's affiliate collaborates with eyeOS in the design of access from web desktops to applications in clouds, which are based on Nuba technology.

Both companies plan to continue collaborating in research and development projects which allow them to unite their efforts to configure a new web desktop, developed as free software, for the "Cloud of the future".
