Archived customer data 

Can you share a sample of the data? A link to a file, an image, a table, etc., are good ways to do this.

A private link will be sent

DataCap allocation plan

In which geographies (countries, regions) do you plan on making storage deals?

North America, EU, and Australia if possible.

How will you be distributing your data to storage providers? Is there an offline data transfer process?

Offline data ingest shipping hard drives initially then hosting an S3 bucket for SPs to use.

How do you plan on choosing the storage providers with whom you will be making deals? This should include a plan to ensure the data is retrievable in the future both by you and others.

We will verify the other SPs we chose to work with. Mazidon will make the data available for S3 ingest to those SPs.

How will you be distributing deals across storage providers?

S3 bucket

Do you have the resources/funding to start making deals as soon as you receive DataCap? What support from the community would help you onboard onto Filecoin?

Can you please take some time to give us some insight about your Company? I took the liberty to look up your website but it seems you are not in the oil and gas industry.

Hello We have completed our site migration. Mazidon is a managed service provider; our primary focus is oil and gas companies in the western United States. We recently learned about Filecoin and have added this to our service offerings. We have updated our data cap request to 5 copies of 230 TiB ( 1.15 PB) to start this project. Additionally, the other data cap requests have been closed. We have 4 PB of raw data in total we would like to seal; however, we have learned that 230 TiB is a much more manageable starting point. Wallet address - f1qc66l4h5bmcc3wvxm7laky5ixevfjofhg5r3aka What is the best way to share sample files?

[Sunnyiscoming]

Maybe more than 5 data samples related with seismic data images, and each of them less than 1GB will be easily checked.

[mazidoninc]

@Sunnyiscoming okay, we will prepare a few samples. I will update the thread when they are ready.

[mazidoninc]

We have prepared a sample data set for review with a public GDrive link. There are two different projects with more than the requested 5 SEGY sample files, a total of 8GB of data. Please let me know when you have reviewed the files. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ug8ythKP9TsSln7pETRYARdICyYtAqcT?usp=sharing Additionally, we are looking for trustworthy storage providers to partner with in the United States, EU, and Australia. Can you please recommend a few providers to partner with?

As you said, Mazidon Inc is an MSP that specializes in AI & Security. So these data samples are from your customers? Have you authorized by them?

[Sunnyiscoming]

Any update here?
