★Storj Introduction
Stroj is a decentralized content storage and distribution network designed to provide fast, secure, and low-cost P2P cloud storage services. It is mainly aimed at enterprise-level customers and benchmarks against Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3.
★Business introduction
Decentralized storage service, simply put, means that users upload files that need to be stored to the network, and the files are dispersedly stored in computers (storage nodes) around the world that are willing to contribute storage space. When users need to use the files, they are retrieved from the network. Search and download.
Different from other decentralized storage networks, the Storj network not only has users and storage nodes, but also adds satellites as a third role. The three have formed an independent operation but interdependent relationship.
★Data storage
Storj adopts erasure coding. In erasure coding, data is broken down into fixed-size fragments, and each fragment is expanded and encoded with redundant data. This means that in the Storj network, when a file is transmitted, it It is not transmitted in one go, but the file is decomposed into smaller data unit structures such as segments and strips, and the transmission is verified one by one.
★Summary
Storj is a decentralized storage service that focuses on SLA-level services. Compared with the decentralization of Filecoin and the Smartweave smart contract system of Arweave, Storj does not use blockchain technology and has compromises on centralization, but this also makes It is ahead of other similar projects in commercial implementation.
In terms of Storj's own goal - to replace AWS3 in scale and performance - as well as its performance improvement in video storage and management and its better integration with the Web3 community, Storj has great potential to become the most commercially competitive enterprise. Level decentralized storage service provider.
