Decentralization is sometimes defined as the transfer of authority from a central entity to a localized system. The term is now being coined for Blockchain technologies and applications which usually decentralize computing power and transactions.
Storage is defined as the retention of retrievable data on a computer or other electronic system. We use storage every day from smartphones and computers and from the days of floppy disks, now we’re able to place files in the ‘cloud’.
Decentralized data means increased security and privacy. Decentralized cloud storage is more difficult to put under attack and to breach than traditional centralized data. On a decentralized network, files are broken apart and spread across multiple nodes, in a process called sharding. These files are encrypted with a private key which makes it impossible for any other node participating in the network to look at your file. Moreover, the files are just a fraction of their original self, which means reading their entire content is impossible due to sharding.
Another great advantage of decentralized storage is the close proximity to the server, which means your data will be accessible quickly whether it is the website that is stored on it or simply files you are trying to recover.
Centralized storage units have to set up new facilities which are costly and take time and staff to maintain. On top of that, you’ll never get the proximity to servers that a decentralized storage can offer as anyone who has free space can offer storage.
Bottos and Your Data
In order to increase the trust over its platform and the overall security, Bottos adopts a decentralized storage system. Moreover, it will adopt a smart decentralized storage system that will efficiently regulate all the resources throughout the platform to always get the best performances in terms of data accessibility and protection. On top of that, your data will always be safe and self-rebuilt in case of partial losses in any node.
These cutting-edge systems are designed to foster security and trust over the platform and to always guarantee high and smart performances to every user.
