Service providers subscribe to this Novell service for storing and accessing files over the Internet and offer the service to their customers. Storing and sharing files on the Internet instead of on hard drive provides a person with global access to his files, and allows him to share files with friends and colleagues more easily. Currently, the free service gives a user 50 MB of storage. The user can store hundreds of small files or even a single 50 MB file. The user may experience a significant performance hit when uploading or downloading a very large file over a slow Internet connection.
Users can store and share any file type.
JustOn Files is immediately available as a hosted service and is sold on a consumption basis measured in megabits per second usage per month. The pricing to service providers is based on the amount of consumed bandwidth per month for this service. This model shares the revenue risk between the service provider and Novell. If there is little demand for the service, the service provider's fees will be low. On the other hand, if the service is successful, both the provider and Novell will share in the success.
