[Partnership] Consider dStore, part of Catalys project dCloud as a Data + Metadata Decentralized Distributed Data Storage platform
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi, it was sort of obvious to me since I started following this research, but in the Decentralized software updates video from Cardano Virtual Summit 2020 you explicitly mention the need for Data + Metadata Decentralized Distributed Data Storage platform.
Me and my main partner in crime have both years of relevant experience in the Data Storage industry, myself, I have 7 years of working experience with NetApp producs, 3 of which were a Professional Consultant Role at NetApp UK&I directly, I also have relevant experience with scale-out distributed GPFS storage (IBM Spectrum Scale now), CEPH and current Decentralized Distributed Data Storage projects running on blockchain such as Storj.
Our intent for dStore MVP is the ability to run GitLab OSS version locally (probably via Docker) but having the Git repository data stored on the dStore platform via AWS S3 compatible gateway. We plan to implement the best features of Storj, Filecoin and CEPH in one solution, thus I believe it would be better if we take this part of a research and delivery and cooperate as opposed to developing own solution...
I made an elevator pitch for dCloud as a whole on The Cardano Effect podcast, I will try to make a dStore pitch on my own The Storage Guy channel...
Would this be an area to cooperate on, could we schedule a call to get your functional and non-functional requirements to make sure we would be able to support the Decentralized Software Updates efforts on our platform, it would then bring a great benefit that the Cardano Treasury could pay it's own operational costs for hosting all of it's relevant source-code and associated metadata...

Hi @nkarag, @romainPellerin, can we discuss this synergetic aliance?
I just got off of the call with @romainPellerin, the Decentralized Storage Solution piece is not within scope of the current contract, and we can discuss possible partnerhsip and it's feasibility once proposal for "Cardano Phase 2" is being finalized or after it is voted on... We are thinking follow-up call in one to two months when there will be more claridy regarding dCloud project.
