On May 28, Ulord announced on Twitter that UDFS will be launched at 20:00 on May 29. This is another milestone of Ulord. What are features of UDFS?
Centralized storage VS Decentralized storage
UDFS is an important storage system of Ulord and a method of decentralized storage. To better understand UDFS, we need to understand the centralized storage and the decentralized storage at first.
Nowadays, many Internet platforms use centralized storage. Centralized storage leads to high concentration of data. With the explosion of data, it exposes the problems of poor scalability, high price, lack of flexibility and difficulty in data connection. It may also cause data loss and inaccessibility, which bring huge losses to enterprises or individuals.
With the popularity of 5G technology, communication speed has been highly improved. Decentralized storage will gradually replace centralized storage, and a new era of Internet will come.
In decentralized storage, data is distributed in multiple network nodes. Any node can receive data and there is weak centralization between nodes. Data is encrypted and stored to ensure data security. Each node monitors and verifies each other, and any node can be quickly discovered once it is invalid. Due to the good redundancy and distributed location, there is no need to worry about the damage of hard disk, the invalid operation of some nodes or DDOS attacks. Therefore, decentralized storage is the trend.
What is UDFS?
UDFS, Ulord’s decentralized storage system, is the underlying technology of Ulord and a cornerstone of the Ulord system. UDFS adopts the P2P transmission technology to connect the network nodes in order, and makes the network resources better used through the key technologies of CDN. The data is encrypted, sliced and stored to ensure the storage data security. Besides, the key technologies such as DHT make the data acquisition between nodes more efficient.
Users can easily and quickly access UDFS storage services through console, API, SDK to achieve massive file storage and management, and can upload, download, and manage files through UDFS.
UDFS storage system reveals the philosophy and essence of blockchain technology both in design and technical construction. It is the underlying technology of Ulord, which determines the prosperity and development of Ulord.
Advantages of UDFS
UDFS has the following 7 advantages:
1. Data is much safer
UDFS distributes user data in different nodes. The data stored by each node is actually only some slices of data, and these slices are also encrypted. Therefore, the data is much safer.
2. High scalability
With UDFS, you have unlimited storage space and no need to worry about scaling. You can realize the flexibility of your storage needs to improve the flexibility of your business.
3. Low cost
You don’t need initial investment. The convenience of UDFS can effectively avoid the waste of storage and bandwidth resources.
4. It is safe
UDFS uses the object storage of DAG, which is addressable, and cannot be tampered, and does not disappear like the current HTTP protocol. To maintain the security of the storage node, an automatic authentication mechanism is added, and the related algorithm is used to prevent the node from doing evil and violating the rules.
5. Traceability
UDFS is also a versioned file system that can receive, manage and store files. It can also trace the version changes.
6. Good incentives
UDFS uses the token incentive mechanism to encourage the contribution of the idle space of enterprise storage, servers, PC, and mobile storage according to the mechanism of resource provision proof and resource usage proof.
7. High speed in storage
With the fusion of CDN technology, UDFS has a high speed in file checking, download, such as the canvas games, Dice and other games.
Summary
In general, UDFS uses a blockchain technology + sharing model to create a decentralized, rewarding, and flexible cloud storage system that provides users with storage service that is high reliable, safe, low cost, and scalable.
