Hey! The system is thought to be flexible. Through a user friendly dashboard you can add and remove components of the team and being the administrator of the system mange the access and permits as well. This is definitely the best way to share sensitive project and information with clients at an effective price.
Cubbit for Teams is actually the most secure system you cna find in the market.
Hey there! That's actually a good thing to know.
it's a long time we hear that: There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer. That WAS true and it's actually talking about datacenters.
when you upload a file on a traditional cloud storage, you files are actually stored in the data centers of property of this cloud providers, or more often rented by them.
Cubbit on the other side doesn't own nor rent data centers. It count on a network of nodes around the globe.
this means:
- higher security: files are never stored on a third party place. The file is encrypted with a key that is generated on the client side, it travels encrypted to (data center in a traditional cloud) and is decrypted with a key generated on the client side by the recipient. The third parties that provide the service are not able to read the content of the file when it travels or when it is in rest. The cool thing about Cubbit is that in addition to this, the files travel via p2p, so they are never stored on a system owned by a third party but directly on the nodes of the system owned by the users.
- Greener: the usage of data center require an unbelievable amount of energy and is responsible for the emission of 110 million tons of CO2 every year. Cubbit don't use data center , but rely on the device plugged to be nodes. This does not require cool the system down saving a great amount of CO2 and energy.
- A datacenter need very high costs of building and mantainance. Cubbit doesn't use datacenter so it's ale to provide the service at a very effective cost
Cubbit's infrastructure revolves around three players: the user, the nodes, and the coordinator
First of all, one thing is important. Cubbit is not actually a decentralised system. At this stage, Cubbit is a distributed, zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage solution. In fact, Cubbit's infrastructure revolves around three players: the user, the nodes, and the coordinator.
Once a file is uploaded on Cubbit, it get encrypted, splitted in dozens of chunks and distributed around the network.
This process is zero-knowledge. This means that Cubbit and its coordinator is never able to see any data and any information of the file or the user.
Second, blockchain solutions revolve around two categories: customers and storage providers. Cubbit can rely on 3000+ nodes around the globe of technology enthusiast that contribute with space and unused internet resources to the system. Hosting the nodes and providing space to the system without paying the service. This space is then used to store the professional service of Cubbit for companies.
That's a great effort in technology and it is remarkable. I have some doubt about the real benefits that are beyond the technology though.
First of all about the security of this system. Yes, it is very avantgarde but being a physical support I will always have the worry that it can be damaged.
If I immagine to use it to store sensitive information this worry rise up. It can easily be accessed or stolen or damaged.
And what about the possible cost of a solution like this?
a part from this aspect it is incredible what Fujifilm has been able to reach in terms of tech
That's true, right? All in all it's just pasta. I'm Italian so I it got my attention. I thought I would never have gone through all the article but in the end, that's exactlt what happened.
