Ever wonder what a world where you can utilize a global computational grid, more powerful than a supercomputer, where your data can actually be said to be fully secure, where you don’t have to explain that your data was stolen or hacked, all the while also equipped with artificial intelligence also available for your use regardless of excessive resources? Then allow me to introduce you to IAGON .
IAGON is an open source platform, developed with the aim to utilize the storage capabilities and processing power of various computers. Designed to harness the under- utilized storage capabilities and processing power of multiple computers (i.e anything capable of processing). This is achieved over a secure decentralized blockchain grid. Simply put, that IAGON aims to create a secure decentralized network consisting of various computing devices with storage capabilities, controlled by artificial intelligence, with computing power enough to rival a supercomputer, integrated with blockchain, available to the masses and also a means to compensate users for the unutilized storage and computing power.
IAGON enables users store data of any size, perform heavy computational processes like ones needed for machine learning operations etc. One might wonder, why IAGON ? Why not any of the other four major players like AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft and IBM? Well, that would be because all four players use a centralized system, with less secure storage as compared to IAGON , while IAGON operates on a decentralized system. This means that its activities are distributed or delegated away from a central, authoritative location i.e while the central utilization companies store data and computational powe4r in a single location, IAGON does this in multiple locations, making hacking difficult and lack of services due to damages to central locations an unlikely option. Another reason is that while these companies set high prices for a less secure cloud service, IAGON offers a less expensive more secure alternative.
There has been much mention of the security of the platform, it wont be forward to assume there are questions how such a secure platform can exist. Well that’s quite simple to answer. IAGON employs the secure lake technology in its development.
Previous platforms offering similar services as IAGON adopt the recent Data Lake architectures, involving information systems based on the Hadoop framework. This is based on the implementation of a NoSQL central database in which files can effectively be stored and retrieved as required. However, the implication of this is that once it is hacked, the hacker has unlimited access to the data stored. The IAGON secure lake technology when utilized in encrypting, slicing and distributing the data lake files is freezing the lake. By doing this, if by any chance the data lake is hacked, by means of encryption and decentralization( storing bits of a file in various locations), the hacker is unable/ prohibited from navigating within the data lake.
The Secure Lake is also based on the Blockchain unbreakable encryption technology. This technology operates by slicing the file uploaded by the user, into small, anonymous, heavily encrypted bits and storing them in a decentralized manner. For additional security, the only the user whos securely uploads a particular file is given the passkey to retrieve and encrypt it. This means that, even when the system is breached, the data cannot be accessed, deleted or modified in any way
IAGON ’s major aim is to revolutionize the cloud and web services market by offering a decentralized grid of storage and processing. By joining the unused storage capacity in servers and personal computers and their processing power, we we can create a super-computer and super data center that can compete with any of the current cloud computing moguls. We aim at providing companies and individuals storage and processing services at a fraction of the market prices and at a better security level by connecting data centers, business computers and personal users and utilizing their free storage capacities and their CPU and GPU processors during idle times. Doing so, IAGON overcomes the entry barriers imposed by the high level of investments required to compete in this market.
