Applications of Decentralized Storage with Züs

Today we take a look into potential use cases and applications of decentralized storage with our infrastructure. Züs (formerly 0Chain) is ideal for secure data storage that enhances privacy and shifts liability to users to abide by GDPR/CCPA compliance regulations. Developers and startups can leverage Züs to earn rewards for building solutions for:

Healthcare

• Current electronic medical records make sharing information a long, slow task. Developers can leverage Züs’ data storage solutions to enhance data protection. In addition, patients could easily provide authorization to share pertinent medical records with new healthcare providers with a click of a button. Not only does this increase the speed at which healthcare providers receive access to a patient’s info, but it can also improve the overall quality of care by allowing them to make quicker decisions based on accurate information. This also can help reduce the cost of administration work due to the automated process of transferring records.

IOT:

• The IoT data gathered from our farms, meters, video cameras, parking garage, rentable scooters, and wearables can be easily sent to 0Stor since the client software occupies a small footprint of CPU and memory resources to send the data and has low battery usage. As an application of decentralized storage, the benefit is a low cost of storage and an easily marketable entity. The IoT business does not need to build an interface for sharing the data, and can just simply share a link with the buyer.

Social media:

• In light of the recent Twitter hack which targeted numerous prominent figures throughout the world, it is time to shine a light on alternative data protection methods. By implementing Züs’ technology, social media platforms can safely store user data and shift liability to the user. Not only do users control and own the data they share on platforms, but they can also be held liable for the information they share. Users are able to give permission to platforms to access certain information such as demographics. Upon authorizing a platform to access their information, users can track when and what information was accessed.

Small businesses:

• Whether the business is selling products or providing services, small businesses can use Züs in many ways to fit their needs. Companies that sell products can safely store supply chain records on a secure network that allows for a permanent ledger history. This allows the company and its consumers to track order history, and status of requests and prevents fraud. For startups providing services, Züs offers enhanced data protection that assists with GDPR/CCPA compliance. This is one of the many business applications of decentralized storage.

Photographers

• As photographers need to continually upload and share files in a secure manner. Züs offers the peace of mind that photographers and their customers need. Some pictures are of major life events such as weddings or life-changing additions to your family. Photographers need a way to share pictures in a private manner to help deliver the content directly to the client.

Videos and Surveillance

• Many businesses record surveillance videos of their properties, which can build up to a large quantity of data. Züs provides the ability to safely store this data in a secure manner. With the ability for developers to modify storage parameters, such as parity and speeds, surveillance footage and video can be stored in a cost-effective manner that suits the needs of each individual.
