Maybe to add a Storj presence on there? Seem to becoming the place for the other side of the political spectrum:
It seems they are hosting on Vultr.
Who knows maybe they need decentralized storage somehow?
It wouldn’t be a large customer: the reason a 430% expansion sounds so large… is because it was unheard of to begin with. It’s still small.
It’s not in a hot market: there hasn’t been an explosion of Twitter-alternatives that Storj can target as a sector (like they’re doing now for Media and Entertainment)
And because it’s not popular yet it’s not a great place for Storj to commit advertising funds.
The real opportunity here would be to have Vultr offer their Object Storage as a Storj Partner (even as an alternative-cost tier compared to what they sell now). They could end up with a higher profit simply taking a margin from Storj S3… compared to the expense of running their own-internal-S3 now (and have lower support and infrastructure costs, better durability, and offer addons like SOC 2)
Not just Vultr. The Storj model of distributed S3 storage might be a good additional fit for many object storage provides.
CloudFerro too
Their pricing: Object storage pricing - WAW3-1 Cloud | CloudFerro
Ideally there would be a 100% white label option.
I shared your idea with the team.
