Enabling enterprise-scale systems using cloud-based personal media

Personal cloud services are emerging as a disruptive technology for tools and services that use digital media assets. As the shift to a bring-your-own-device and app workplace becomes commonplace, the opportunity exists to leverage these personal services to create enterprise scale approaches. However, a key limiting feature is the ability to provide private and secure assets, whether they are photos, videos, audio and text in a unified way layered on top of personal cloud services. We discuss an approach to support this shift and illustrate its feasibility using a prototype secure email service that is layered on top of a popular unsecured cloud service. One of the primary benefits of our approach is that companies can create secure enterprise services on top of a third party cloud used by individuals alleviating the need for a complex IT infrastructure for digital media assets. These solutions are particularly relevant for emerging markets.
