How OORT and Seagate are Revolutionizing Decentralized Cloud Storage: A Deep Dive into the Partnership

At OORT, our vision is clear: we want to build the infrastructure that powers decentralized AI. This requires more than just innovation on the AI side; we need reliable, scalable storage that can handle immense amounts of data while keeping costs manageable. That’s why we’ve partnered with Seagate, one of the world’s most respected names in storage technology, to make this vision a reality.

This isn’t just another partnership—it's a strategic move that’s helping OORT optimize its storage offerings, expand globally, and deliver better value to our users. But let’s dive deeper to understand how this collaboration works, what Seagate brings to the table, and why it matters for you as an OORT user.

Why Storage is Critical for OORT

At OORT, data, storage, and compute are the foundation of everything we offer. To enable decentralized AI, we need a system capable of storing vast amounts of data, often across multiple locations, while keeping that data accessible, secure, and ready for use at any moment.

In a decentralized environment like ours, this isn't simple. We need partners who can provide storage solutions that are both flexible and robust enough to handle the demands of AI dataset storage . That’s where Seagate’s Lyve Cloud comes in. With Seagate, we’re not just getting storage—we’re getting a storage infrastructure that integrates seamlessly with OORT’s decentralized cloud solution.

Meet Seagate: A Global Leader in Data Storage

Seagate is a name that you’ve likely heard before—and for good reason. With over 45 years of experience in the storage industry, Seagate has shipped more than 4 zettabytes of data in their history. That’s an astonishing amount of information, and it speaks to their leadership in the field.

Here are a few quick stats that show the scale and expertise of Seagate:

35,000+ employees across the globe
Over 45 years of innovation in storage technology
Generated $6.55 billion in revenue in FY24

Seagate isn’t just big—they’re a trusted leader in the world of storage. Their experience and resources make them the perfect partner to help us power decentralized AI, giving our users access to top-tier storage solutions.

What Seagate’s Lyve Cloud Brings to OORT

So, how exactly does Seagate’s Lyve Cloud fit into OORT’s decentralized infrastructure?

Cost-Efficiency Without Hidden Fees: Lyve Cloud provides cost-effective storage solutions with no egress fees—something that’s incredibly important for our users. Egress fees are the charges that typically occur when data is moved from one place to another, and they can add up quickly. By eliminating these fees, Seagate helps us keep costs low, allowing OORT to offer more competitive pricing to our users.
Seamless Integration: Seagate’s storage solutions integrate seamlessly with OORT’s existing infrastructure. That means the data stored on OORT is not just secure, but also ready to be processed by our AI systems. Whether it’s large datasets for training AI models or critical backups, Seagate ensures that data is easily accessible when it’s needed most.
Reliability and Security: When it comes to storage, reliability is everything. With Seagate’s 45+ years of innovation, we know that the data stored through OORT is safe, secure, and available whenever you need it. Their reputation for reliability means our users can trust that their most important data is in good hands.

How Seagate Powers OORT’s Global Expansion

But Seagate’s impact goes beyond just storage. With their global reach, Seagate is helping OORT expand into new markets. As we continue to grow, it’s crucial that we can offer our decentralized AI cloud services to users around the world. Seagate’s global infrastructure and trusted brand make this possible, giving us a competitive edge as we reach new regions and industries.

Whether we’re supporting businesses in North America, Europe, or Asia, Seagate’s storage solutions help ensure that OORT users can access their data and AI capabilities from anywhere in the world.

Decentralized AI Needs More Than Just One Partner

While Seagate plays a critical role in our storage infrastructure, it’s important to understand that OORT’s decentralized network is made up of several types of nodes—each playing its part. Here’s how the system works:

Super Nodes: These are powerful servers from partners like Seagate and Tencent Cloud, handling large tasks like AI model training and data storage.
Archiving Nodes: Built on platforms like Filecoin and Arweave, these nodes are responsible for securely backing up data, especially AI datasets that need long-term storage.
Edge Nodes: These are the devices owned by OORT users, like our Deimos edge devices or even personal computers. Edge nodes handle tasks like local data storage, labeling, and running AI models for quick decision-making.

This multi-layered system ensures that OORT can deliver a scalable, decentralized cloud service that works for users of all sizes—from individual developers to large enterprises. Seagate is a key part of this system, but it’s not the whole picture.

What This Means for You as an OORT User

The partnership with Seagate is designed to make your experience with OORT even better. Here’s what you can expect:

Lower Costs: Thanks to Seagate’s cost-efficient storage solutions with no egress fees, we can offer more competitive pricing across the board.
Enhanced Security and Reliability: Seagate’s long history in the industry ensures that your data is stored securely and is always available when you need it.
Global Accessibility: As OORT expands into new markets, Seagate’s global infrastructure allows us to deliver decentralized AI services on a global scale, with fast and secure access to your data no matter where you are.

The Future of Decentralized AI with OORT and Seagate

As we move forward, this partnership with Seagate will continue to evolve. Together, we’re building a system that not only meets the data storage demands of today but is also prepared for the AI-driven future.

At OORT, we believe that decentralized AI is the key to unlocking new possibilities for individuals, developers, and businesses. And with Seagate by our side, we’re well-positioned to lead the charge.
