📑Data Sharding

Data Security - Data Sharding

Data sharding is a powerful technique used by Infinity BOX to store data more securely and robustly. When data is stored with IBOX, it is split into multiple shards, each containing a small fragment of the data. These shards are then distributed to different IBOX store nodes, making it more difficult for hackers to access the complete data content by attacking a few servers. This provides a higher level of data security than general cloud storage solutions, which usually store one data object on one or two servers without sharding.

By splitting the data into multiple shards and distributing them across different store nodes, IBOX ensures that even if one or more servers are compromised, the complete data content cannot be accessed. The shards are stored in an encrypted format, which provides an additional layer of security. Moreover, the data shards are also replicated multiple times, making it easier for the system to recover in case of data loss.

In contrast, general cloud storage solutions usually store one data object on one or two servers without sharding. This makes the data vulnerable to hackers who could get all data content by attacking a few servers. A single point of failure in such systems can result in the loss of all data content. This makes general cloud storage solutions less secure and reliable than Infinity BOX.

Overall, data sharding is a powerful technique used by IBOX to ensure high data security and reliability. By splitting the data into multiple shards and distributing them across different store nodes, IBOX provides a robust solution that is resistant to cyberattacks and data loss. This is a big differentiation from general cloud storage solutions, which are more vulnerable to security breaches and data loss.
