Unlocking the Potential of Blockchain for S3 Object Storage Repositories This title emphasizes the potential benefits of using blockchain technology in conjunction with S3 object storage repositories, without being overly specific about how this might be achieved. It also includes a nod to the idea of virtualization, which is a key concept in both blockchain and cloud computing. Overall, the title is concise and attention-grabbing, while still conveying the main theme of the blog post.

FileBase: Decentralized Storage for the Future of Backup and Recovery

In the world of cloud storage, there is a growing trend towards decentralization, and FileBase is at the forefront of this movement. As a BlockChain-based object storage solution, FileBase offers a unique approach to storing data that not only provides redundancy and high availability but also leverages the power of BlockChain technology. With its recent seed round funding, FileBase is poised to revolutionize the backup and recovery industry.

Decentralized Storage for the Future

FileBase’s decentralized storage mechanism creates native redundancy and high availability, ensuring that data is safe and accessible even in the event of a host failure. By splitting files into 30 pieces using Reed-Solomon erasure coding, each piece is geographically distributed to Sia hosts all around the world. This means that if 20 out of 30 hosts go offline, a Sia client can still download the files.

BlockChain Technology for Cryptographic SLAs

FileBase uses BlockChain technology to create cryptographic service-level agreements (SLAs) that are stored on the Sia blockchain. This ensures that renters form file contracts with hosts, setting pricing, uptime commitments, and other aspects of their relationship. File contracts are a type of smart contract, providing a secure and transparent way to manage storage and retrieval of data.

Object Storage Repositories for Veeam Backup & Replication

With Veeam Backup & Replication v9.5 Update 4, Object Storage Support for the Scale Out Backup Repository has been added. This means that FileBase’s Amazon S3 Compatible platform can now be used as a backup repository for Veeam backups. To configure BlockChain-based storage fronted by Amazon S3 Compatible, simply create a new Bucket in the FileBase console, select your backend (SIA or Storg), and obtain your S3 API Access and Secret Key details. Then, in Veeam Backup & Replication, create a new Object Storage Repository of type Amazon S3 Compatible and enter the appropriate details.

Instant VM Recovery and Data Offload

Once a Job is configured to use the SOBR, backups can be moved or copied into the Capacity Tier, which sits on a super-decentralized, distributed storage layer leveraging BlockChain technology. This allows for instant VM recovery and data offloading straight from Object Storage.

Conclusion

FileBase’s innovative approach to decentralized object storage offers numerous benefits for backup and recovery solutions. By leveraging BlockChain technology and cryptographic SLAs, FileBase provides a secure, transparent, and highly available storage solution that is perfect for the growing demands of the backup and recovery industry. As the use cases for decentralized storage continue to evolve, FileBase is well-positioned to lead the charge towards a more secure, reliable, and decentralized future for backup and recovery.
