Akash Network and Filebase Provide Multi-Cloud Decentralized Storage Options

Demonstrating power of decentralized compute and storage

Akash Network, an open-source, decentralized cloud, teamed up with Filebase, Inc. an object-based storage platform to deliver multi-cloud, decentralized web (dWeb) storage options for developers and enterprises.

Through this partnership, developers and enterprises now have the ability to pair dWeb applications with the thousands of existing backup tools, application SDKs and frameworks that they already know and love. By offering open-source dWeb compute and petabyte-scale object storage, the two partners can help to reduce cloud costs by up to 85%, compared to traditional cloud services.

“The Filebase API is S3 compatible, which allows developers to seamlessly leverage multiple decentralized storage networks for the first time,” said Joshua Noble, CEO and co-founder, Filebase. “We’re excited to pair our S3 compatible access layer to decentralized storage networks, with the power and flexibility of Akash Network. We can’t wait to see what our ecosystem builds through the pairing of dWeb compute and multi-cloud storage as one.”

“Filebase is solving an onramp problem that’s exposing the mainstream developer community to decentralized storage,” said Greg Osuri, CEO, Akash Network. “We’re more than excited for the Akash community to have vendor-neutral storage options with a frictionless experience.”

A core goal of dWeb technology is to help people and organizations regain control of their computing and storage. By pairing Filebase and Akash, data can quickly migrate from AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, onto a decentralized network of cloud providers.

“Decentralized, blockchain-based infrastructure services are quickly establishing themselves as foundational elements for the potential next generation of cloud IaaS,” said Andrew Smith, research manager, cloud infrastructure services, IDC. “These services bring differentiated technology to market which is applicable to real-world use cases like storage and compute cost reduction, data compliance, backup, archive, and long-term cold storage. The partnership between Filebase and Akash highlights the continued evolution and improvements to this emerging market segment.”

Comments

Filebase belongs to a small group of active decentralized storage players.

We count at least 20 P2P storage projects during the last 15 years with different trajectories due to the maturity of the solution, the target market and the business climate.

Among them we can list projects that still exist like 0Chain, Aetherstore, Arweave, BlockShare from Adanam Technology, Cloudplan, Cubbit, Filebase, Filecoin, KnoxFS, Memento Cloud, Sia.tech, Storj Labs, Ugloo (new iteration of UbiStorage), of course IPFS as many products rely on it and also acquired or stopped ones like Aerofs (acquired by Redbooth), Kerstor (acquired), Symform (acquired by Quantum then stopped), Space Monkey (acquired by Vivint), Ubistorage (stopped), Tudzu (stopped), Wuala (acquired by LaCie then Seagate and then stopped), Transporter (owned by Drobo acquired by Nexsan then StorCentric now stopped), Blockade Technologies (stopped), Ubbey Tech./Universal Labs (stopped) or Kopit (stopped).
