Imagine an infrastructure capable of supporting millions of users at very high network speed. A decentralized architecture to enable horizontal scaling of DApps into mainstream usage. Issues like storage space, processing speed, quality data traffic can no longer be a problem. At SWAZM we build custom-tailored solutions serving as a platform for hosting and storage services, using all the available space, even residual computing, and storage resources available on the blockchain network.

Partnering With Maguay & Why This Matters

This year we have signed a partnership with Maguay, one of the biggest server and storage suppliers in Europe. The goal was to expand the SWAZM network by using Maguay’s computational resources. From the partnership, Maguay aims to gain an alternative way to capitalize its existing but underutilized assets, from data centers the group owns.

“We see this collaboration as a natural extension of the areas where Maguay operates and innovates. SWAZM is an innovative solution in which we see a lot of potential both from the perspective of using the solution within our own data centers, as well as integrating it into interesting projects,” — Eduard Pughin, General Manager, Maguay Computers

We see computing power as digital currency, a resource that can be redistributed and aimed towards building hosting solutions for traditional web apps, have access to decentralized personal storage space, giving you more safety for highly private documents through the use of cryptographic storage tech.

SWAZM makes the development of your project possible, without worrying about backend or frontend details. The storage capacity is built on unutilized compute capacities from computers that make-up your network, making use of available space that can be used to benefit your project build and maintained.

“we want to use this collaboration as a success model for other data centers who are interested in joining SWAZM. Globally, between 40% and 60% of data centers are underutilized, and SWAZM can help these companies use and monetize non-marketed resources while reducing waste of electricity and compute power,” — Vali Malinoiu, SWAZM’s founder and CEO

Within the blockchain, the information is grouped into blocks, which link to form a chain with other blocks of similar information. It is this act of linking blocks into a chain that makes the information stored on a blockchain so reliable. Once the data is recorded in a block it cannot be altered without having to change every block that came after it, making it impossible to do so without it being seen by the other participants on the network.

Using blockchain as a service comes out more of a hidden benefit, as not many people think of it as a decentralized Google Drive or remote application they can use to run their business operations in a more transparent and safe way. Instead of running storage through a company that controls it centrally, a decentralized blockchain network stores the data among many compute nodes, allowing for the information to be accessed from multiple places and also adding a safe layer in case of any server damage should happen.

By partnering with Maguay, we will have more computational resources available, and thus able to scale any future decentralized project. We are proposing an alternative business model, focusing on coming together to share and build resources in order to transform the future of the digital world.

Decentralization reduces the risk for corruption, fraud and malicious manipulation of data. It’s about the equitable use of the energy that comes out of digital processing, of the computing power, the plus-value of the digital society we now live in. The blockchain acts as a growing peer-to-peer transaction ledger, available on each node that is part of the larger network.

If we look at blockchain as a philosophy, it talks about the direct connection between the members of society, without the mediation of other structures. As in all human history, technology is the trailblazer of social change, pushing humankind forward, to a better and more collaborative environment, all individuals working together for the common good.

Technology is a tool, and it depends on us on how we use it, and thus the results we obtain. Our company’s vision is that it should support creativity, empower us to create a better world, advancing the society that we had growing up. Enthusiasm is usually correlated with young age, and as we are young, so is the blockchain. We envision a world where collaboration is key.
