Frequently Asked Questions
-
A decentralized data storage network is a system where data is spread across several locations rather than being stored in a single centralized database. This can enhance data security and reduce the risk of data loss.
-
Decentralized storage enhances data security by creating multiple encrypted copies of data and distributing them across the network. Even if one node is compromised, the data remains secure on other nodes.
-
In a decentralized network, data is redundantly stored across multiple nodes. Thus, if one node fails, the data is still accessible from another node. This ensures high availability and reliability of data.
-
Decentralized storage eliminates the need for costly infrastructure and maintenance associated with centralized databases.
As such, it can be more cost-effective, especially for large volumes of data.
Furthermore, the competitive marketplace among node providers can drive down storage costs.
