Introduction

The demand for storage capacities and computational processing power has led to a dramatic increase in the ongoing development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and technologies associated with big data, an example being the Hadoop framework. These data technologies are sustaining the growth as it may, of data on any system offering web-based services and other related networking platform. Hence their implementation cannot be overemphasized.

These technologies despite its essential nature haven’t been fully implemented having only been developed but this has not hindered most corporate and public institutes from exploiting its potentials in improving sectors of their operations.

Now where does the problem arise from? I’d tell you shortly. The ever-expanding and rapidly growing digital world requires a huge quantity of free disk space for the purpose of storing huge amounts of data or information. This resulted in series of projects coming out in crowd sale all focusing on tackling the problem of unavailability of the desired disk spaces and in that line, large companies took interest in this project. One of which-Iagon.

What is IAGON?

Iagon is a new company that has claims of having revolutionized the cloud computing system. Now what do I mean by this? Iagon is a cloud-based service for the use of storage capacities and processing power of several intelligent devices otherwise known as AI’s on a decentralized blockchain grid or in other words, a Global Supercomputing system that runs with genuine AI (Artificial Intelligence) aided by blockchain technology.

Iagon operates a fully secure and encrypted platform that integrates multiple blockchain support/tangle technologies, smart computational grid, AI-based computational processing, etc. in a user friendly and intuitive environment.

Under Iagon’s platform, one can imagine a world where anyone can profit by joining a massive processing grid, why because it would provide a fully automated platform for executing both storage and processing tasks of users on the basis of un-utilized storage and processing capacities which are contributed by participating nodes or ”miners”. All this possible because its blockchain is powered by machine learning capabilities.

How does Iagon work?

The AI powered Iagon platform will connect users and services through a decentralized application (DApp). It features being easy to use, understand and operate and the software’s functionality has been made easy to synchronize across all smart devices. So, whether you’re a regular user or a top-notch organization, the platform is designed to work for you.

The Iagon platform would provide a free space for data storage and power of many computers combined into a single network service that will store heavy data sets of diverse information and performing complex computing processes requiring solid capacities.

Mining is one of the major ways to generate revenue with the system and with the use of smart contracts, the most suitable format to you can be utilized without necessarily being in-depth in programming language.

Why a Cloud Service?

Very promising is the directions that the market of cloud services is estimated in the digital industry and in accordance with predictions from experts, it is set to hit the $ 45 billion mark. This growth in the cost of the market and the demand for it would only increases with each passing year.

The people highly regarded in this market include; AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft being a few to mention but there are limitations with these services because they are all centralized and monopolistic, as can be seen from their high price policy. We the ordinary people do not benefit from this.
But as industries are predicting enormous growth, the approach and concept of cloud services itself has to undergo significant changes and it is with this technology that we would be able to meet the growing demand of the market and make cloud storage services more moderate in value and affordable for everyone.

Companies and individuals are granted access to a platform where such individual can rent out their unused disk-space and computational power in exchange for IAG tokens. The IAG tokens would be used as a means of payment/exchange allowing users to pay for cloud storage and computing.

This way, such individuals, not excluding businesses (either small or large) can benefit from having an affordable access to large amount of of computing power and storage all at a reduced cost.

Iagon Platform Architecture

Iagon’s open source platform architecture is a layered collective of unique functionalities consisting of a server layer, Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning Algorithms, blockchain layer and miner nodes, nor forgetting encryption and decryption protocols. These interconnected capabilities are designed to create a framework able to both offload efficient computation on multiple miner CPU/GPUs and to execute the algorithm learning process on a computing cluster hosting in both cloud and Grid/HPC environments.

When a user uploads a file and presents a processing request to Iagon’s server, the machine learning algorithm sends blocks of corresponding data randomly over to the miners to process in order to locate matching signatures. These blocks of data are then returned back over the blockchain which is validated along with an output that the machine learning would use to identify a node.

In this environment, the blocks are distributed equally to miners by utilising the Proof-of-Variance (PoV) algorithm and a further crucial feature is that data isn’t stored within their local system and this implementation guarantees that the data is processed anonymously with each separate node being effectively undisclosed to each other except through the machine learning algorithm.

Machine Learning

AI is constantly learning and assimilating the infinite supply of available performance grid metrics gotten from smart computing grid, thus creating an organized real-time data structure subject to optimization.
Reinforcement Learning, which is the science of decision making to handle dynamic environment, alongside Markov decision processes are also being adopted as a part of the multi-model approach for dynamic and distributed computational environments all in order to achieve real-time decision making and optimization. Iagon’s machine learning would lead to optimization in control of distributed storage and computational processing that will aid in accessing its scalability and speedup.

Blockchain Protocol and Tangle

The Iagon’s advanced blockchain layer is a hybrid of blockchain and Tangle Technologies programmed to serve as a secure platform to integrate with existing blockchains and utilize data mining features to process data. Data is stored safely within open-source, private or public blockchains or vice versa. The integration of Tangle helps in promoting the technology of blockchains large scale operations’ implementation and thus by its application profers an alternative for organizations with Big Data repositories in large scale processing and storage management tasks.

Smart Computational Grid

Iagon has implemented a smart computing grid, which is a logistics layer that handles the complex nature of decentralized computations and is hosted by network of computing clusters hosted on both the clod and Grid environments. System integration is usually a big challenge during the genesis of any cloud based distributed computing platform but with the presence of an advanced AI optimizing the smart grid, improved decision making and efficiency is attained by forming what is called the AI-Tracker system.

This AI-Tracker system is a complex learning system which analyses past and current data streams that disclose the availability of storage space and processing capacities of miners continuously.

Data Mining

Finding anomalies and correlations within large data sets, otherwise known as data mining, take another manner of approach different from the traditional cryptocurrency paradigm. It utilizes a private blockchain with public networks over API networks to improve mining efficiency, wherein the miner doesn’t need to store any data for he/she to be able to mine, leaving the bulk of the job to the Machine Learning algorithm to handle. Data mining uses the existing decentralized computing network (via the grid)

Encryption/Decryption Protocol

The encryption/decryption protocol is basically all about the stored data. for security purposes, encryption is necessary to protect the data in the event of a breach or a hack attempt. Advanced methodologies for secure internal data storage and distribution of data blocks to miner nodes are employed.

The Secure Lake Technology is is the innovation identifiable only with the Iagon platform and it targets Big Data and the recent adoption of data lake architecture based on NoSQL DB implementations (e.g Alexandria, Hbase and MongoDB) as a standard.
Through the use of blockchain technology,only the user can securely upload a file and rest assured that no one can read the contents of the small file slices,neither encrypt, delete, change,retrieve or even identify the file source and associate them with the original uploaded file, all because that user only has the password(encryption/decryption key). Hence with Iagon privacy is not just a promise but it is mathematically ensured and guided by principle of universal values on the decentralized network.
