The President of Single Wrench, Daniel Frank, was kind enough to take time out of his busy days to answer some questions for us.
单扳手的总裁丹尼尔·弗兰克(Daniel Frank)很高兴能抽出一些忙碌的时间来为我们回答一些问题。
Let’s start with your position or title at Single Wrench and how long have you been working there?
让我们从您在Single Wrench的职位或头衔开始，您在那里工作了多长时间？
“My position at Single Wrench is President and I’ve been involved as founder for 2 years now bringing our service to market. After little more than 6 months of development we decided to include a user group to help guide us in the design of Single Wrench. With over a year of feedback from users we’re very confident in the feature set we offer.
“我在Single Wrench的职位是总裁，我作为创始人已经两年了，现在将我们的服务推向市场。 经过6个多月的开发，我们决定成立一个用户小组来帮助指导我们设计单扳手。 一年多来用户的反馈使我们对我们提供的功能非常有信心。
The demand we saw in the market was to create a business focused FTP replacement that hit on all the important aspects of web services; namely a subscription billing model, web driven interface, support for multiple users, and no hardware or software to manage. In other words, a complete outsourced file sharing solution for businesses. ”
我们在市场上看到的需求是创建以业务为中心的FTP替代品，该替代品会影响Web服务的所有重要方面。 即订阅计费模型，网络驱动的界面，对多个用户的支持，并且无需管理任何硬件或软件。 换句话说，是针对企业的完整的外包文件共享解决方案。 ”
What kind of background do you have proceeding up to launching Single Wrench?
您对启动单扳手有什么样的背景？
“I have been involved in several technology startups over the years, including a stock photography search engine and an online platform to manage truck fleets. Each of these opportunities were subscription based online services, at a time when there were few alternatives being offered as online services in those markets. So I’ve been part of several “software as a service” businesses in the past and have seen acceptance towards that business model grow quite significantly over time. ”
“多年来，我参与了多家技术创业公司，包括股票摄影搜索引擎和管理卡车车队的在线平台。 这些机会中的每一个都是基于订阅的在线服务，而在这些市场中，几乎没有其他选择可以作为在线服务。 因此，我过去曾参加过几项“软件即服务”业务，并且随着时间的推移，人们对该业务模型的接受度也大大提高。 ”
What is your vision for Single Wrench? What do you see it as now and how would you like to see it in future years?
您对单扳手的愿景是什么？ 您现在如何看待它？将来您如何看待它？
“Our vision is to provide a secure, reliable and easy to use file sharing solution for businesses that will save them money while improving their network security. Single Wrench allows businesses to replace FTP servers, which are expensive to maintain and lack security, or other ad-hoc file sharing systems that employees might use.
“我们的愿景是为企业提供安全，可靠且易于使用的文件共享解决方案，以在节省成本的同时提高网络安全性。 Single Wrench允许企业替换维护成本昂贵且缺乏安全性的FTP服务器，或员工可能使用的其他临时文件共享系统。
The emergence of cloud computing, where hardware and network infrastructure are provided as a service to companies, is key to our future plans. Early on we realized the potential of having a file sharing solution such as Single Wrench working together with other services being offered “in the cloud” to provide a full featured suite of online services for businesses. Ultimately, businesses will be able to reduce the need to manage complex and expensive technology infrastructures once cloud computing reaches maturity.”
云计算的出现是我们未来计划的关键，在云计算中，硬件和网络基础结构将作为公司的服务提供。 早些时候，我们意识到拥有文件共享解决方案(如Single Wrench)与“云中”提供的其他服务一起工作的潜力，从而为企业提供功能全面的在线服务套件。 最终，一旦云计算成熟，企业将能够减少管理复杂且昂贵的技术基础架构的需求。”
For businesses “on the fence” about adopting the Single Wrench service what assurances can you give them? Do you guarantee uptime? Is the data truly safe? Is there redundant backup at your location?
对于“采用单一扳手”服务的企业，您可以给他们什么保证？ 您能保证正常运行时间吗？ 数据真的安全吗？ 您所在的位置是否有冗余备份？
“When offering businesses a file sharing solution the focus has to be on security, reliability and ease of use. As mentioned earlier, we operate 100% in the cloud computing infrastructure hosted by Amazon Web Services. This means that Single Wrench uses the same secure and reliable network infrastructure that Amazon.com uses on a day to day basis.
“为企业提供文件共享解决方案时，重点必须放在安全性，可靠性和易用性上。 如前所述，我们100％在由Amazon Web Services托管的云计算基础架构中运营。 这意味着Single Wrench使用与Amazon.com日常使用的相同的安全可靠的网络基础设施。
Our files are stored using S3 (Simple Storage Service), Amazon’s secure and redundant file storage service. Our website is powered with servers from EC2 (Elastic Computing Cloud), Amazon’s scalable and reliable computing platform. S3 guarantees 99.99% uptime, along with fully redundant physical storage of files across the multiple data centers that Amazon manages.
我们的文件使用S3(简单存储服务)存储，这是Amazon的安全和冗余文件存储服务。 我们的网站配备了Amazon EC2可扩展且可靠的计算平台EC2(弹性计算云)中的服务器。 S3保证99.99％的正常运行时间，以及Amazon管理的跨多个数据中心的文件的完全冗余物理存储。
In fact, it would probably surprise a few of your readers that Single Wrench does not own any of the hardware used to run our service, quite an amazing feat for a file sharing business that you would typically assume has a significant infrastructure in place. It’s this outsourcing of our infrastructure that allows us to say with confidence that files stored with Single Wrench are safe and available at all times. ”
实际上，可能会让一些读者感到惊讶的是，Single Wrench不拥有用于运行我们的服务的任何硬件，这对于文件共享业务来说是一个了不起的壮举，您通常会假设它具有重要的基础结构。 正是我们基础设施的外包，使我们可以放心地说，单扳手存储的文件始终安全且可用。 ”
Is there anything else you would like to add or explain to our readers?
您还有什么想补充或解释给我们的读者的吗？
“We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for businesses to give Single Wrench a try. This means having different Editions (Personal, Group and Enterprise) to ensure a perfect fit for businesses of any size, along with a simple pricing model that we characterize as ‘use what you need, pay for what you use’. Our approach makes Single Wrench a very compelling service to replace FTP servers for business.
“我们试图使企业尽可能容易地尝试单把扳手。 这意味着拥有不同的版本(个人版，团体版和企业版)以确保完美适合任何规模的企业，以及一个简单的定价模型，我们将其定性为“按需使用，按需购买”。 我们的方法使Single Wrench成为一种非常引人注目的服务，可以代替FTP服务器进行业务。
There are lots of alternatives for file sharing offered today, I’d like to finish by emphasizing that our focus is on the business market, not the consumer. We generate no revenue from advertising and because of this can create a product experience that is second to none. This means zeroing in on what matters most – saving businesses money and helping to improve their network security. ”
今天，有许多文件共享的替代方法，我想强调一下，我们强调我们的重点是商业市场，而不是消费者。 我们不会从广告中获得任何收入，因此可以创造出无与伦比的产品体验。 这意味着将重点放在最重要的事情上–节省企业资金并帮助提高其网络安全性。 ”
价钱 (Pricing)
Single Wrench charges $5 per average 1 GB stored on their servers, which means that if you uploaded a big file to temporarily transfer to somebody you wouldn’t be charge for that amount of storage for the entire month.
Single Wrench在其服务器上存储的每1 GB数据平均收取5美元的费用，这意味着，如果您上传一个大文件以临时传输给某人，则整个月都无需为该数量的存储空间付费。
Here’s a graph from their pricing page that explains it pretty well:
这是他们定价页面上的一张图表，很好地说明了这一点：
Single Wrench allows 10GB of free downloads for every 1GB uploaded in a given month, after which an account is charged $0.50/GB. The reason this restriction is in place is to deter “abusive accounts” – users trying to distribute video.
Single Wrench允许在给定月份内每上传1GB的内容免费获得10GB的免费下载量，之后每GB收取$ 0.50的费用。 实施此限制的原因是为了阻止“滥用帐户”，即试图分发视频的用户。
There’s also a minimum monthly storage charge based on the type of account you create, whether personal, group or enterprise edition.
根据您创建的帐户类型(个人版，团体版或企业版)，还需要支付最低每月存储费用。
结论 (Conclusion)
The more I use Single Wrench the more I really enjoy it. It is surprisingly fast, and simple to use through an attractive user interface. Since they’re able to guarantee 99% uptime via S3 network and redundant backup I felt my data is safe.
我使用单扳手的次数越多，我就越喜欢它。 它出奇的快速，并且通过有吸引力的用户界面易于使用。 因为他们能够通过S3网络和冗余备份保证99％的正常运行时间，所以我认为我的数据是安全的。
All that is required for Single Wrench to work is a web browser that can run Java Applets. This makes the service perfect for office’s with mixed OS environments.
要使Single Wrench起作用，所需的就是一个可以运行Java Applets的Web浏览器。 这使该服务非常适合具有混合OS环境的办公室。
