Company Performance Metrics
OwnClouders is an open-source community that offers self-hosted web applications with sync clients and sharing. It also enables uses to access their files through a web interface while offering a platform to easily view and sync their contacts, calendars, and bookmarks across all devices and edit them as well.
Being extendable via an API for
applications and plugins, OwnClouders has minimal server requirements and requires no special permissions. The business model of OwnCloud Inc. is very similar to other open-source companies, offering services and support around OwnCloud for the enterprise. The company is dedicated to working in the open, accelerating development in the areas of its customers' needs while enabling a completely open development process where everybody can contribute. The company makes it possible for developers to work full time on OwnCloud, organizing OwnCloud events, marketing OwnCloud to a wider audience and supporting companies, governments, and schools in their deployments.
OwnCloud started with a keynote by Frank Karlitschek at Camp KDE’10 where he talked about the need of a self-controlled free and open-source cloud. Two years later, Karlitschek announced the start of OwnCloud Inc.
