We developed Object Mount (formerly cunoFS) ( https://www.storj.io/object-mount?hn=1 ) specifically to not rely on any metadata storage other than S3 AND preserve 1:1 mapping of objects to files AND support for POSIX. We hav

Database indexes are definitely one of the most approachable concepts of databases for computer science majors. If you have studied data structures and Big O notation you have all the concepts needed. While I agree that how a query planner

S3 has been around for a long time and they had a lot of objects to transition when they upgraded, so I imagine that is why it took awhile. There are other object storage systems that have strong consistency guarantees that came out after S

How do you arrive at twice as expensive as AWS glacier? AWS S3 Glacier is the same $0.004/GB/month and requires the same minimum of 90 days, but retrieval takes "from 1 minute to 12 hours". They also have large retrieval

This is great feedback, we'll take this into consideration. You can always reach out to talk about specifics about your use case and how we can better meet it (there is a Contact Us button near the bottom of the page).

Interesting thought thread on our pricing structure... It saves money if you intend to send the backup to 10x places every month. If you only intend to do it once though you don't come out ahead $10 * 3=$30 versus $1 * 3+$22.50 = $25.5

We are not built on top of Sia or Storj. Our technology has been developed for the past decade and is independent. Storage comes from services that we offer to end consumers. In exchange for our services they agree to let us use the unused

Yes! Our storage footprint globally is growing so we will definitely add more regions. What region in particular interests you?
