Impressive technology...but there are a number of products that do what you've built (or come close). Someone already mentioned Nasuni.

TwinStrata might be closer (block oriented I think, iSCSI interface). http://www.twinstrata.com

I think Gartner refers to these products as "cloud storage gateways." Also known as "hybrid cloud storage." Google either of those to get a list.

Good question about the pain points TuaAmin. Those usually include: a) never having to run out of storage again b) never having to deal w/ tape backups again c) knowing you can recover data to anywhere in the event of a disaster
