Seal Storage Technology Partners with the University of Utah, Providing Web3 Cloud Storage for Scientific Research Data

Toronto, Ontario and Salt Lake City, Utah, 11 October 2022: Seal Storage Technology is excited to announce an active project with the University of Utah’s Center for Extreme Data Management Analysis and Visualization (CEDMAV). Seal is providing Web3 cloud storage for CEDMAV’s scientific research data and building required APIs and interfaces for data access and controls. The scientific research data encompasses different types of data including combustion, simulations, earth, and satellite data.

The University of Utah is utilizing three major benefits of Seal’s decentralized cloud storage platform: immutability, verifiability, and chain of custody - all made possible by the consensus mechanisms of Seal’s underlying network, Filecoin. Seal stores cryptographic hashes of the data sets on-chain while the data is stored off-chain in enterprise-grade data centers powered by renewable energy.

Why Store Your Scientific Research Data with Seal

Decentralized cloud storage is a perfect solution for storing large research data sets. By switching from resource-intensive tape storage systems to Web3 decentralized cloud storage, your data is stored more affordably and securely. At Seal Storage, we store data across six cities, three countries, and two continents. These large data sets can be stored on Seal’s decentralized platform for many years - with the option to secure indefinite storage for your important data. This geographic decentralization means there is no single point of failure. Because Seal uses Filecoin as its underlying network, data integrity is verified daily through consensus mechanisms.
