Decentralized storage
Decentralized storage keeps files encrypted and distributed across many independent nodes instead of a central server, using networks such as IPFS, Filecoin or Arweave. Each file is addressed by its cryptographic hash. Unknown Gravity integrates these networks into enterprise and Web3 applications.
Decentralized storage lets you keep data encrypted, accessible and resistant to single points of failure. Unlike centralized systems, your files are spread across several nodes, without relying on a single server. Resistant to points of failure does not mean beyond the law: a hosting service must remove illegal content once notified (Arts. 6 and 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, DSA). Discover how this technology can transform the way you manage and access your data.
01 / Encryption, redundancy and control of your data
Thanks to decentralized storage, your files are divided and encrypted in various parts of the network. This architecture reduces the risks of data loss and the attack surface, by not relying on a single server.
02 / Instant access without geographical restrictions
With our decentralized storage solution, your files will be available globally at any time, regardless of location. This means that you can access them with complete confidence, from any device and without geographical barriers.
03 / Reduced costs and increased operational efficiency
Decentralized storage eliminates the need to maintain expensive servers and centralized infrastructure equipment. Plus, you only pay for what you really need, without compromising the efficiency of your long-term storage.
04 / Scalability and sustainable growth
As your storage needs grow, our solution adapts easily. You no longer have to worry about costly migrations or space limitations; simply expand your storage capacity quickly and affordably.
05 / Data protection: what spreading across countries triggers
Here the message needs inverting: spreading data across nodes in third countries triggers the international transfer regime (Arts. 44 to 49 GDPR) and makes it harder to identify the processor (Art. 28). That is why we design with client-side encryption, nodes in the EU, or personal data kept off the network entirely. The traceability of the record lets you audit how your files are managed.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is decentralized storage?
Decentralized storage uses a network of distributed nodes to store data instead of relying on centralized servers. This improves security, availability and reduces censorship risks.
Is it more secure than traditional storage?
Yes, by distributing data on a decentralized network and encrypting it, the risks of hacking, loss or manipulation are significantly reduced. In addition, there is no single point of failure.
How can I access my files stored in a decentralized way?
You can easily access your files from any device with network access, regardless of your location. Availability is set by contract, at the service level (SLA) agreed.
