Cumulus Encrypted Storage System (CESS), the 3rd-gen decentralized cloud-based data storage protocol built exclusively for Web3, has completed the development of its Decentralized Object Storage Service (DeOSS). The service was finalized and released on the CESS cloud storage data network V0.5.3 testnet last month. CESS claims it to be the first-ever decentralized storage network to launch decentralized object storage services.
CESS is a decentralized cloud storage network for online data storage and real-time sharing that is committed to offering a decentralized full-stack solution for Web3 high-frequency dynamic data storage. In this approach, CESS contributes to the development of a thriving, varied, and secure data economic ecosystem.
“CESS is dedicated to driving value creation and delivering on the user-focused promise of fast, performant, cost-effective and secure Web3 applications that are stored on CESS’s next-generation decentralized cloud storage protocol,” said Jessie Dai, Co-Founder of CESS. “By adding decentralized OSS services to our platform, we are making steady inroads into the most high-value services and offerings of incumbent enterprises such as AWS and Google Cloud - but doing so by providing users with the decentralization and ownership they deserve.”
The layered design of CESS, which is created for performance and security in the Web3 area, would ensure that the performance of each layer is independent of the performance of the other levels. System load would be balanced as a result. The ‘miner’s dilemma’ is also resolved by CESS employing R2S, a trustless, low-energy consensus technique that would ensure the integrity of consensus nodes.
With decentralized OSS services now readily available, CESS keeps to its goal of developing a “fair, diverse, prosperous, and user-focused” decentralized data economic system from which everyone, not just huge firms or established organizations, may profit.
Decentralized vs. Centralized Object Storage vs. Block Storage
Object storage is a type of distributed storage architecture that is designed for storing and managing large amounts of unstructured data, while block storage is a type of storage architecture that stores data as blocks on a disk or other storage device and is typically used for structured data that requires fast access and high performance.Block storage is accessed through a block-level protocol such as Fibre Channel or iSCSI, and is often used to store data that requires fast access and high performance, such as operating system files or application data.
Structured data is data that is organized in a specific way, typically in a tabular format with rows and columns. It is easy to search, sort, and manipulate, and is often stored in a database or spreadsheet. Examples of structured data include customer records, sales data, and financial transactions.
Unstructured data, on the other hand, is data that does not have a specific format or structure. It is typically more difficult to search, sort, and manipulate than structured data, and may not be easily stored in a traditional database. Examples of unstructured data include text documents and images, as well as audio and video files.
Centralized object storage is a type of object storage architecture in which all of the data is stored on a single, central server or group of servers, while decentralized object storage is a type of object storage architecture in which the data is stored across multiple servers and storage devices that are distributed throughout a network. Examples of centralized cloud object storage systems include Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Centralized object storage systems are typically accessed through web-based APIs or protocols such as Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, or Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.
Decentralized object storage systems are typically more resilient and scalable than centralized object storage systems, while fitting Web3 and blockchain requirements.
