Stanislav Shalunov: Will P2P change storage?
- wmf 17y agoIn 2001 Bram Cohen worked on P2P storage system Mojo Nation. After it ran out of money he created BitTorrent. Now a BitTorrent employee suggests that P2P could be used for storage, completing the cycle.
- arzor 17y agoWhat's advocated is the use of successful ideas and bits of design philosophy from P2P to build storage clouds out of unreliable commodity disk-heavy servers. The slide deck is not intended for reading -- there will be video later.
- malditogeek 17y agoP2P is already changing the filesystem panorama. Right now, Dropbox is the hype but the real rocket sauce is in Wuala [1], which was recently bought by Lacie. I can see, in the near future, a wave of external "disks" bundled with the Wuala filesystem offering loads of gigs "for free". Also, I've been trying other P2P storage solutions like Tahoe[2] and totally loved it. It's GPL, Twisted based, portable and very easy to install.
