How Pocket Network puts Storj to work.

As a dedicated Web3 proponent, Pocket Network is committed to eliminating the need for centralized infrastructures and anything that has to do with Web 2.0. The company needed to partner with a decentralized cloud storage solution provider who could deliver on performance, security, and price.

Performance is an important issue for Pocket Network. One of Pocket’s highest priorities is to enable new its node operators to get online as fast as possible. Storj’s decentralized cloud storage solution, performance, security, and cost made Storj the best choice.

“We chose Storj DCS as our storage layer because of their innovation in decentralization - and for our shared values of a trustless, sustainable, and globally distributed architecture,” says Michael O’Rourke, CEO at Pocket Network.

“The performance was very impressive,” O’Rourke says. “The parallelism of Storj DCS enables Node Operators to get up to speed much more quickly . The speed and added reliability from Storj helps node runners create a more diverse set of nodes, and contribute to a larger, more secure pool of full-node servicers for blockchain applications.”

Since partnering with Storj, Pocket saw an 80% to 90% savings on their egress fees compared to what it would be paying with centralized object storage. Additionally, due to the distributed nature of Storj, Pocket automatically gets global distribution of its image files without any added cost.

The Storj decentralized architecture combined with Storj’s developer tools and community support team also simplified Pocket’s move to the decentralized storage network and has made for a great ongoing partnership.

“Storj DCS plays an important part in our overall stack,” Adam Liposky, Ecosystem Operations Lead at Pocket Network, says. “And I believe Storj DCS will play a leading role as the go-to place for distributed object storage. It’s better in decentralization, redundancy, and speed. It makes things easier and has great redundancy and reliability. Storj DCS is simply the best object storage solution for the money, with the added benefit that it’s decentralized.”
