Enhancing Data Storage: The StorageBroker Approach for Sustainability and Cost Efficiency

The StorageBroker project aims to revolutionize data storage through a decentralized system that ensures longevity, sustainability, and trust. By utilizing content-addressable storage (CAS) and redundancy strategies, we optimize cost efficiency while providing a fair and comprehensible platform for distributed backup systems. Our focus is on collaborating with partners who can offer storage capacity, storable content, and technical support for system development. Join us as we create a functional infrastructure for secure data storage and backup solutions.

  9. Distributed CAS • “Content-addressable storage, also referred to as associative storage or abbreviated CAS, is a mechanism for storing information that can be retrieved based on its content, not its storage location. It is typically used for high-speed storage and retrieval of fixed content, such as documents stored for compliance with government regulations.” • --- • Content-addressable storage.
