Peer-to-Peer Networks Are Powered by Users and Existing Resources
A peer-to-peer network is a distributed application architecture in which all “members,” or nodes in the network, play an equal role and are literally peers in the system. A true peer-to-peer network has zero or minimal central infrastructure, and the peers contribute a portion of their resources, such as processing power, onsite storage, or network bandwidth to the network. Skype, for instance, is a peer-to-peer communications network, utilizing the bandwidth of all network users to route voice and video communications.
Symform Is a Peer-to-Peer Data Storage Network
The Symform Cloud Storage Network enables users to contribute excess local storage to the network in exchange for affordable cloud storage. The network members power the cloud service. Just as other peer-to-peer solutions, such as Skype, can provide free or really inexpensive services, Symform provides up to 200GB of free cloud storage, or unlimited cloud storage for a low flat fee, to users who contribute to the network.
Highlights of the Symform Network:
- Most affordable cloud storage and backup for free or for a low flat fee
- Leverages existing infrastructure, requiring no new hardware or major software
- More secure with RAID96 technology – Symform shreds, encrypts and geo-distributes data
- Absolutely secures your data and contribution devices
- Uses parallel internet connections, Turbo Seeding, and Instant Restore to ensure fast performance
