Use-case details

Describe the data being stored onto Filecoin

In Godap's business scenario, customers will create a large amount of content information in pdf/word, xmind/visio, videos, recording, whiteboard pictures, work and life photos, etc. 
Godap should help customers store these original content. We expect a huge amount of storage demand in the future, so we have been looking for safe, reliable and affordable storage service providers. 
IPFS & Filecoin is our best choice now.

Where was the data in this dataset sourced from?

All data from the company.

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

The files stored in Filecoin are a collection of files uploaded to the Godap platform by users in the past. The files include videos, photos, screenshots, and recordings uploaded by users, which may be an encrypted compressed file. At present, the main purpose of our storage in Filecoin is for data disaster recovery. In the future, if Filecoin can support small file retrieval, we will upload user original files without packaging.

Confirm that this is a public dataset that can be retrieved by anyone on the Network (i.e., no specific permissions or access rights are required to view the data).

No.

What is the expected retrieval frequency for this data?

Once a year, for disaster recovery purpose.

For how long do you plan to keep this dataset stored on Filecoin?

Permanently.

DataCap allocation plan

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

Prefer North America, but the globe is also acceptable.

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

online & off-line.

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 require SP to provide proof of reliable and continuous storage. We require SP to have actual deal storage. We plan to store the data in multiple SPs worldwide. We have contacted the following SPs:

TopBlocks (USA)
Dcent @ Hidde Hoogland (Europe)
Cabrina (China)
Feiyan (Canada).

How will you be distributing deals across storage providers?

We will distribute the deal to each SP, and we will develop a Datacap allocation scheme to meet the E-Fil project's requirements for allocation strategies and our requirements for data security. In addition, we learned that there is a Lead SP role in the E-Fil project. We hope to find a North American SP as the Lead SP, such as TopBlocks as the Lead SP to take over our Datacap..

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?

Yes, the funds for storage are ready.
