Store for performance & security.

Use Vult and Blimp to store on Zus.

How Does it Work?

The process of storing and retrieving a file on Züs involves four steps: creating an allocation, uploading a file by splitting it into fragments, distributing them to multiple servers, and downloading from enough servers to reconstruct the original file.

Create an Allocation
1

Create an Allocation

To get started, you can customize your data protection plan with the number of data and parity bobbers. You can further select your own storage providers (Blobbers), but can also ask the network to select randomly for you based on a preferred price and geolocation.

Once your offer is matched with a group of Blobbers, an allocation of storage is created for you to upload files to Züs.

Technical Note

Once your storage plan is approved, a proof of this storage agreement is issued on the Züs blockchain as an Allocation ID.
Split file into fragments
2

Split file into fragments

As the file is uploaded, it is erasure encoded for redundancy and split up into fragments.

Technical Note

This is an erasure coding process that enables the stored files to be distributed and resilient (reliable). For additional privacy, you can opt to encrypt your file prior to uploading.
Distribute fragments
3

Distribute fragments

Your file fragments are then distributed out to multiple servers (Blobbers).

Technical Note

The fragments are both distributed to and stored by your group of Blobbers, as per the storage agreement terms (specified in Allocation ID).
Reconstruct original file
4

Reconstruct original file

When you want your file, the fragments are brought back together again, reconstructing the file to its original form.

Technical Note

A smaller number of fragments, based on the number of data bobbers, is required to reshape the file. This means the file can be recovered even if only a few Blobbers are online.

Design your cloud with a few clicks.

Select a storage size. Determine the number of data and parity shards for redundancy and performance. Select storage providers based on geolocation, price, and quality score. Pay with card or tokens. Credit card payment automatically protects against expiration of allocation

You can add a storage provider anytime to increase redundancy and switch providers for either cost or performance.

QoS Protocol

The blockchain randomly challenges storage providers (blobbers) for proof of storage and performance. Blobbers earn income and rewards for passing challenges and their quality of service is based on such and is a trustless mechanism to ensure good server, network, and datacenter performance.

QoS Protocol

Data consumption is rapidly increasing.

Data breaches and Security incidents are growing.

Global Data Consumption (ZB)

Global data consumption is growing at a faster rate than ever before. Today, data breaches, security incidents, GDPR fines, and network/server failures are increasing faster than ever before. Its time to use a better multi-cloud to have total protection at a lower cost.

A hyper-speed Decentralized Storage Network.

Unlike any other Cloud.

Züs is a true multi-cloud with no vendor lock-In. Choose the best providers, switch anytime. Züs is decentralized, open source, and high-performance with high-security features such as immutability, decentralization, and proxy re-encryption. Züs is ideal for backups, remote file sharing, AI, data lakes, databases, object storage (S3) and file storage (EFS/NFS).
