“EMC started Atmos Online a little more than a year ago, but the service never took off, according to industry analysts.

An EMC spokesman said as the number of service providers adopting EMC Atmos technology continues to expand, the company decided not to announce the general availability of the Atmos Online storage service for production use.

"The strength of the Atmos ecosystem is predominantly based on the service providers who deliver Atmos-based services and [Internet service providers] who integrate with the technology," he said. "EMC will focus on evolving this ecosystem and allow Atmos Online to take a supporting role."

EMC said Atmos Online will remain available strictly as a development environment to foster adoption of Atmos technology and Atmos cloud services "offered by our continuously expanding range of Service Provider partners who offer production services."”
