WHY SHOULD I USE ~OKEANOS GLOBAL? IN WHAT WAYS THIS SERVICE BENEFITS ME?
~okeanos global provides the advantage of creating virtual machines. Those virtual computers have the same potential as the physical computers that we are used to work with, but they add more flexibility and convenience. For example, you could create one or more computers with the processing power you desire immediately from your desk and without spending any money. In addition, you could easily create a local network and connect your virtual machines. Provided that you have an Internet connection, you can use your virtual computers as much as you want, from everywhere. You could install and use different operating systems without the need to format your disk or to configure installation parameters. Your virtual machine could work on a demanding task all night, while you shut down your computer and go to bed. The "pithos+" service could fulfill all your storage needs, by providing up to 50GB disk space, so that you are able to store your data online and access them from your virtual machines and from other locations and devices.
