This gives a sad impression at the moment. I hope Storj is working on it because there are so many more industries they even have customers from, like smart home customers, customers from healthcare, there is the entire cctv industry, public education like universities, IoT, etc. etc.
So hopefully naming 3 industries only is not the end.
This sounds like a list of industries they’re actively creating marketing messages for (like Media and Entertainment has received a lot of posts lately). Not a list of all potential industries. With only so many marketing dollars these are probably where they’ve decided to focus spending.
Your “Industry” can’t be “Anyone With A Computer” . If they name one, they should have examples, and case studies, and reference customers for it - stories that cost money to create.
I am aware of that. However, to me, not mentioning such key industries that require storage solutions feels more detrimental than acknowledging them, even if they don’t have a complete lineup of customers, case studies, and other supporting materials.
Furthermore, I think there are for example numerous exhibition events worldwide focused on security, smart homes, healthcare, and other areas where Storj could participate and engage with potential new customers and work on filling the gaps where they exist.
You’re absolutely right — listing only a few industries gives a very narrow picture. Storj has great potential across many sectors like smart homes, universities, healthcare, and even small business data backups. I’m actually seeing more interest from professionals in less-talked-about sectors, like local business services and regional data storage needs — especially in places like South Dakota, where business brokers and small enterprises are looking for reliable decentralized storage solutions. Highlighting these use cases could really help Storj stand out more clearly in the market.
I think with Object Mount there is also great potential for the security, video surveillance and cctv sector.
There is a large security trade show in Las Vegas where of course the competition is already present with a booth to showcase their cloud offerings. And it is a huge market. The global video surveillance market is expected to be valued at around 90 billion by 2030.
Maybe the Object Mount software could be transformed into some kind of SDK or something so that it could be integrated in various software for video surveillance and cctv recording.
With Object Mount, recording directly to the cloud may become feasible, thereby eliminating the need for traditional FTP transfers, which are commonly used in video surveillance operations.
Additionally, there are several open-source CCTV and video surveillance projects where Storj could develop integrations for Object Mount and Uplink. By contributing code and having it merged, Storj could establish a direct presence on these platforms.
There may also be an opportunity for white-labeling such a solution, enabling Storj to compete on equal with the cloud storage competitors who already offer a video surveillance solution.
I would like to ask to post on their community forums if they are exist, especially if someone is engaged there, it maybe would be even more effective.
