EMC (NYSE: EMC) this week unveiled a new vision for cloud storage, including a major partnership with AT&T (NYSE: T).

AT&T announced the launch of AT&T Synaptic Storage as a Service, based on EMC's Atmos data storage infrastructure, and EMC unveiled its own cloud service based on the Atmos system.

The new storage-on-demand service gives enterprises "control over the storage, distribution and retrieval of their data from any location, anytime, using any Web-enabled device," AT&T said.

The business-class storage service lets customers use the AT&T network cloud to store, distribute and retrieve data. Customers will be able to specify policies through a Web-based customer portal, and the service automatically scales storage capacity up or down as needed, requiring users to pay only for what they use.
