A Decentralised Storage Alliance was created on Monday by the Filecoin Foundation, Protocol Labs, and a few other participants. The Alliance is the first time businesses in the decentralised sector have banded together to further the use and understanding of decentralised technologies.
One of the key objectives of the recently created partnership, according to the statement, is to assist Web2 firms in making the transition to Web3 through lobbying, education, and best practices.
By bringing together various perspectives from top Web2 and Web3 industry companies, including Advanced Micro Devices, Ernst & Young, and data storage solutions supplier Seagate, the Alliance says it intends to achieve this. The group hopes to establish itself as a reliable forum for business collaboration on Web3 technologies, such as decentralised storage, in order to hasten their adoption.
By 2025, the global data market is anticipated to have surpassed 200 zettabytes. Approximately 80 percent of the total market demand is met by businesses. However, more than 90 percent of those people still rely on expensive and ineffective centralised systems and the public cloud to store their data.
Additionally, it aims to facilitate new data centres' network onboarding by supplying access to instructional materials and technical resources that will enhance the process of data onboarding to decentralised storage networks.
