Project Description
Acrontech is a technology services company based in Delaware, USA, specializing in distributed storage technology based on the IPFS protocol. We are trying to establish a cloud platform for Filecoin SP community.
Extensive expertise required in many technical domains:
Data Center Colocation
how to select cost effective hosting data center from marketplace?
Architecture Design
What to buy, where to buy them, how to get most cost-effective hardware?
How to design an effective configuration that will be reliable and resilient?
Implementation
Standing up – Racking/stacking/installation
Go live - Configuration/testing/
Operation – Keep the lights on, always on
System upgrade and maintenance
Break and fix, Tech refresh
Skills needed: hardware, software, OS, network, storage, Lotus, Mining operation, etc, etc.
A full-scale IT team is needed to pull it off
Established storage providers may have overcome many challenges, but still facing new ones:
Ever evolving technical requirement
Identity shift : from Filecoin miner to a client facing storage provider
Customer Relationship Management
Real data cap process
Sealing and storage real data
Bear market dilemma : To Mine or Not To Mine?
How to keep existing seal datasets safe and secure for 18 months duration?
How to embrace FIL+ and continue expand capacity?
How to maintain positive cash flow during bear market?
Filecoin implementation, in many ways, resembles enterprise-level data center computing;
They come up with Cloud Service to address those questions in the last 3-4 decades.
Virtualization – virtualize everything
Software Defined Infrastructure
Infrastructure as Code
Container Technology
Automation
We trailblaze Filecoin implementation through enterprise-level architectural design, deployment, and operation. Based on the cloud operational model, Acrontech Cloud Platform can provide different kinds of services to SPs with flexibility and cost efficiency. We aim to help SPs solve challenges and attract more of them to the ecosystem.
